Urban Grays: Winter 1998's New Man

 

Their faces are straight out of Pasolini and Visconti: young and disturbing, handsome and sensual. Their garments all steely grey and iron, urban asphalt, made of fur and high-quality woolens.
That's how Milano defines next season's new man. What's he got on?


Trends in color and fabric
Emphasis is on softness, with light full-bodied fabrics such as tweed, corduroy, pied-de-poule, lightweight cashmere, alpaca, mohair, loden and fleece turned out like silk. Two-tone combinations are out in force, with contrasting bands reminiscent of the flag-bearers at the Palio di Siena, hoods are attached on everything: jackets, sweatshirts, coats, and so on. Feather-light sweaters take the place of shirts. Big-city urban tones are strong this season: greys, asphalt and steel.
