For Spring, MaisonValentino's Pierpaolo Piccioli is aiming to leave 'traditional machismo' behind, revisiting menswear codes as he showed several jackets worn over shorts and skirts.
Men in skirts are not a provocation, according to Pierpaolo Piccioli — they telegraph freedom.
“It’s very important to me to redefine the masculine identity,” said Piccioli after the show, held in the courtyard of Milan’s Statale University. “It should not follow the rules of society or the perfection associated with success. Society relegates men in [pre-determined] boxes because it’s easier, but the real power is to be free, even showing some fragility while being resilient.”
The designer underscored that it’s not necessary to run away from pre-defined rules, and that they can actually be overturned even in an imperceptible way. Case in point, an embroidered flower can replace a tie or, placed on a buttonhole, is reminiscent of a gentleman’s etiquette of yore.
