The lastest of Fendi menswear showed a collection inspired by gardening, with outfits rangin from a utility vest in botanical-print-organza-clad strips of shearling teamed with a multi-compartment tool bag in leather to short-sleeved overalls, accompanied by clipping baskets, watering cans, and organza-backed gardening gloves. In a time where so much of what we encounter is so virtual and so synthetic, I think the feeling and spirit of wanting to be connected to nature now is stronger than ever before. Silvia Venturini Fendi

Boxy tops and cropped shorts punctuate this collection, counterbalanced by the play on hybrids, which are one of Barretts distinctive style traits. Raincoats were mixed with hunting jackets; bombers were blended with truck tops and sweatshirts joined with leather jackets in new imaginative shapes. "The collection has respect for tradition and heritage, but at the same time it has a break-the-rules kind of attitude. Neil Barrett, Creative Director

Were here, standing under the brutality of this Plastic of Damocles, to celebrate the marriage officiated by MCMagma, a shamanic non-entity which is the spirit of transformation, between Truman Capote and Ernesto Che Guevara. One day, Truman decided to leave his Swans and his life of lost beauty to free himself, joining Guevara in the rebel radicalism of the jungle guerrilla. The dress code is camouflage meets carnival, the marriage being between inventive rebels and 50s control freaks, all looking for the Noahs Ark in a completely corrupted fauve nature. Our nature. So there is rebellion, bur its a beautiful rebellion and beauty is also rebellious. Francesco Risso, Creative Director

At Les Hommes, Tom Notte and Bart Vandebosch looked back to the happy Nineties rave moment, something they have explored before, but now evolving it in a collection that felt personal also took inspiration from their hometown, the Belgian city of Antwerp. The three key themes being: cycling, the Academy of Antwerp and music. This meant cycling pants, compression tops with zippers and mixed-media designs and hybrids such as bomber blazers.

20 percent of the clothes in this latest collection were made of both nylon and wool upcycled from existing Ermenegildo Zegna waste product. Tailoring was a big feature, with many pieces pressed to create irregular pleats and creases, hinting at the underlying theme of use and reuse. Sartoris new short-sleeved shirt version of his commercially successful bomber suit, three-button silk suiting, and faded suede top coat were but a few highlights of this collection.

The spirit of the collection is informed by the exuberantly sybaritic beach and club lifestyle of Massimo Giorgettis Adriatic coast home turf, and climaxed with a finale in which the models walked en masse in dampened shirts and scanty briefs from the brands new underwear line. A collaboration with the painter Norbert Bisky produced an attractive fractured portrait used as prints on many of the designs throughout. Notably inventive were the denim pieces bleached to create a pattern reminiscent of the dappled azure water in sunlight. There was also a section of richly coloured tie-dye denim which seemed representative of the hand-made aspect that Giorgetti is so keen to telegraph in his clothes at the moment.

I find whats happening incredibly vibrant, particularly young men in Seoul, who are meticulous about fashion, sort of tribal, sort of cultish, and highly accessorized. They have a real passion for a look. Seeing them there reminded me of how we wanted to be in the 80s and 90s, of wanting to belong, to have the best of a look. - Clare Waight Keller, Creative Director This inspiration the Keller has taken from Korea has produced a gorgeous balance of tailored suits and sportswear, and notable use of head turning fabrics also discovered in Korea.

This latest Ferragamo mens collection, shown in the Palazzo Vecchio, paid homage to its hometown of Florence with a series of prints abstracting Neptunes torso adorned on loose fitting shirts and lightweight parkas. Many urban staples were showcased within the collection, from utility pants to padded vests. Utility and Sportswear were the main themes of the collection, shown in the work wear inspired designs and use of high-tech fabrications. Its that mix of high-tech and high-craft that has become my shtick for Ferragamo Paul Andrew, Creative Director

This latest show from Samuel Ross was a display of activism, with his message being shown throughout all aspects of the show Things are falling apart, and it is time to rebuild a new society from the rubble of the old. Industrial was the heart of the collection, from the venue, to the materials and colour palette of the designs, all symbolising the need to rebuild our society. I want to focus on a more positive, altruistic future. Samuel Ross, Creative Director

Many subjects were explored within this eclectic and vibrant collection, from the male anatomy and human skin to glimpses of Egyptian mummies and Mexican Easter flags to an exploration into the power of mirrors to expand and reflect. Many signatures can be seen throughout, such as ties and tabs, flatness and geometry, utilitywear and channel quilting.

A display of military-inspired pieces, minimalist styling, and sun-bleached tones. This latest collection is based around the political tension in the Middle East, but not in a way you may expect, with Qasimi creating sensual and free designs that permeate positivity and give a sense of freedom and escapism. We are humans. We need to express whats happening around us. -Khalid Qasimi, Creative Director

Described as Juicy and fruity and floral in the shows notes, the collections colour palette was largely made up of reds, pinks and oranges. Featuring a clever mix of tailored and casual pieces, the breezy 70s and 80s-esque silhouettes gave the polished collection a laid back feel.

This latest collection is based around Chalayans contemplations on the effect of colonization upon dance. Prints reflect the cultural impositions upon South America and Japan, and use of draping and panelling suggest the movement and artistry of dance. Silhouettes were flowing and lightweight, shaped only by the odd drawstring, knot or buckle. Stripes were hugely evident within the collection.

A collection described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It is a continuation of the themes from the recent womens resort show, which when adorned on the male figure, shows a sensual edge. Prada is moving forward with the menswear designs, exploring beyond the more traditional mens signatures and welcoming in the same pointedness she brings to her womens shows.

Inspiration for this collection came from Marrakech in the 70s, reimagined as 21st century Los Angeles. Bohemian, Mystical and Free Spirited. Also brought into the collection were references to Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975. A nod to the androgynous 70s with all things satin and sparkles, which ties in perfectly with the gender fluidity of today. The collection is retrospective and nostalgic in the most modern and progressive of ways.
