Milan – Man fall winter 2009

From Saturday 17th to Tuesday 20th of January 2009, nearly 90 shows and presentations were presented in Milan.

Due to economic slowdown men’s fashion for winter 2009-10 shows a certain classicism as indicated by the great comeback for conservative colors such as burgundy, gray, black and bottle green.
