Rather than designing the umpteenth collection with his signature pieces in reinvented fabrics, he should maybe channel his talent towards a new direction and maybe concentrate on reduced capsule collections of jackets and coats, after all, nobody can resist a good piece of outerwear that can last you forever, many of us can instead to without the umpteenth apron, top or pair of baggy trousers. Quite a few designers displayed for the next season what could be only defined as the “North Africa-meet-the West” syndrome, a not so rare obsession that ended up characterising many Spring/Summer 2010 collections.

Suede blouses and trousers had a relaxed silhouette; soft cardigans gently opened on jersey shirts; linen suits had a streamlined silhouette while cotton canvas trench coats were characterised by round shoulders. Fans of the art and fashion connection rejoiced at Jil Sander's show where Raf Simons filtered the classic lines of menswear through the art of Japanese artist Tsuguharu Foujita. The nomadic atmospheres explored by Ermenegildo Zegna came back at Missoni’s. The menswear collection perfectly counterbalanced the womenswear collection presented in February, though in this case we were spared the excessive layering style that in the womenswear case hid some of the most beautiful pieces.
