IO UOMO – SARÀ LA NOSTALGIA

24 io uomo ok_3429988

Nostalgic feeling. This stolen pic by Paolo di Paolo, a kind of ante-litteram Scott Schuman, is from 1960. The man you see in it, half-lying on the raling of the Fontana dei Fiumi in Piazza Navona, is composed in his uncomposure. He is Un-Composed. Probably the jacket is buttoned even if it’s single-breasted (that shouldn’t be buttoned), because otherwise it would dangle, adding more disorder. Probably, if this picture was set today, this man wouldn’t wear anything like this. Try to imagine: unlaced sneakers, baggy sweater, jeans or gym pants. Or shorts. And, of course, instead of the newspaper, he would hold an iPhone or iPad. Don’t you miss that ‘900 style?

IO UOMO – SUA VANITÀ

His Vanity. Until the 60s, the only jewels allowed for men were cufflinks and the wedding ring. At most the tie clip, some used to wear the gold chain received for the first Holy Communion. Jewels became a trend for men in the 70s: young people drew inspiration from the rockstars, so the first silver bracelets started to peek out. Later there were the yellow gold bracelets, in form of rectangular plates matched with leather strings. From the years of minimalism on, the inspiration was punk and its symbologies. And from Slimane for Dior Homme and Margiela, to the funny creations by Paul Smith, and the jewelry collection by Dolce&Gabbana, many designers have indulged the most hidden side of men’s vanity.

DOLCE-E-GABBANA

Polo e camicia, Dolce&Gabbana f/w 2016/17

L’inequivocabile ispirazione per la stagione invernale di Dolce&Gabbana è rappresentata dagli Spaghetti Western, la cui iconografia tipica – ferri di cavallo, carovane, pistole, rodei, eccetera – è rievocata attraverso ricchi ricami o più “semplici” stampe, come quelle che campeggiano sulle camicie e sulle polo in cotone. A cura di Angelica Pianarosa, Foto Michele Gastl.
