Elegant, formal and strict are the words that best describe the Prada Mens Collection for Fall 2012. The show was about a parody of male power, designer Miuccia Prada told journalists after the show and that may explain her casting. Instead of young models she cast some of Hollywood’s leading men – actors Willem Dafoe, Adrien Brody, Gary Oldman, and Tim Roth all walked in the Prada show for the first time – making this one of the stand out collections of Milan Fashion Week.

In Milan designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gababana presented a Fall 2012 Menswear collection that was inspired by their Sicilian roots and the Italian family. The broken down opera backdrop with the bordello lighting set the tone for this collection that focused on sartorial historicism, baroque embroidery and modern tailoring. The starting point of the collection was the cape ” Tistera” they are called in Sicily. Backstage Stefano Gabbana explained “We didn’t look at a book or a movie for inspiration,” said Gabbana. “It was all about family.”
