MFW Bottega Veneta AW 2012

Blue was the colour for Bottega Veneta's Milan's Fashion Week.  Well that plus some skinny jeans and some over sized Cuban heels, BUT what about the accessories??????  Well we were presented with an array of ties, over-sized scarfs and some discrete wrist wear.  Nice job Mr Veneta, now can we have one of those scarfs?  It's chuffing freezing in London still!

MFW Neil Barrett AW 2012

Another British designer doing it in Milan this week, was Neil Barrett (Twitter - @_NeilBarrett_).  His show was filled with classic cuts, and beautiful layering, but his accessories were a little sparse.  What we did see were some lovely hold-alls, lots of snoods, and some nifty wrist warmers.  Keep it up Neil, but lets see some more accessory focus next time.

MFW Paul Smith AW 2012

Paul Smith brought some British cool to Milan this weekend with his AW 2012 show.  Over-sized leather and canvas bags, 80's cool sun-glasses, and some interesting flashes of coloured slim line scarfs were the focus, but the main accessory on show was the 'beard'! With the stand out model's of the show, wearing them off with pride, it's obvious that we should chuck the razor for this coming season.

MFW Alexander McQueen AW 2012

Sarah Burton took the reins again for Alexandra McQueen's Milan's AW 2012 menswear show, and it was quite the eccentric show.  Whilst all the attention was focused on the plus four's, pinstripes and traditional country casuals we at Maketh-The-Man are more concerned with the accessories.  It was a royal affair of accessories with double bow ties, pocket squares, and the occasion feather brooch.  We can't wait to see the gun bags, that will no doubt go along with this collection.
