Milan, Italy – Moncler Gamme Bleu always provides one of the biggest and most important highlights of the Milan men’s fashion week. Not only are the shows a huge, live broadcast television-like production, but the garments are always on the cutting edge of what will become new must-haves.

This season the American artistic director Thom Browne has decided to create a collection that looks like it takes us back to the days of scouts. The color palette is all tan, beige and with just a few hints of white and black.

Browne’s secret has always been overkill! His silhouettes always signature as a code the over-imposition of a single color to include each and every piece in a silhouettes. We are talking shirts, pants or shorts, neckerchiefs, socks, shoes, bags, jackets, overcoats, etc. This is inclusive of all the natural fabrics and other materials that goes into a collection. His Spring/Summer 2017 collection is no exception.

This new collection is one that is really about boyhood memories, style, ruggedness tamed by the sophistication of tailoring. It’s interesting to see how Browne is really pushing for the public to finally accept jackets and blazers with short-sleeves. They’ve always proven to be a commercial failure when other houses and companies have attempted them in the past. Now that Moncler Gamme Bleu is embracing them, they may yet have a chance for wide range appeal among stylish male fashion consumers.
