Menswear Shows

John Galliano
The colors in Galliano's show were a feast for the eyes. The entire collection, from the strategically placed daggers to the hot-pink leggings to the shaggy purses to the platform shoes, was amazing. Indeed, picking just one look to showcase was no easy task. But we think there's something extra special about this outfit: a London-punk-y Marx brothers meets Quentin Crisp. In Speedos. Only Galliano could pull that one off.

Fendi
If a man must wear a heel, the new Fendi wedge is the way to go. Those things President Sarkozy wears are just so clunky.

Alexander McQueen
The mankini shall not fall by the wayside along with Borat. Though Sacha Baron Cohen's memorable neon swimwear made us smile and want to close our eyes, McQueen's version makes us want to keep on looking. Of course, the model may help that a bit.

Prada
Tunic tops that double as dresses are not just a lady's solution to sitting down comfortably in low-cut pants. As Prada showed, men can enjoy their practicality too! Isn't it slimming? And the sporty feel makes us want to jump on the tennis courts.

Givenchy
Boasting the best shade of pink we've ever seen, lace, and man leggings, this Givenchy look is a triple threat. Of course, only the boldest man could wear this, but fashion is nothing if not a statement, right?

Burberry
The spring '09 men's collections showed us man bags in a whole new light, finally edging over that fine line that separates bag from purse. Take note, men: Messenger bags are out! Clutching leather and exotic-skinned satchels under your arm is in.

Miharayasuhiro
Roberto Cavalli's dresses shall not have all the leopard print! These manpris by Miharaysuhiro are some of the best ever made, and the animal print is subtle enough to avoid that Peg Bundy look. We'd so steal these.

Ann Demeulemeester
The Ann Demeulemeester show surprised audiences with a cast that included ten elderly models, like this gentleman. Sure, his head-to-toe white linen and little manpris are absolutely charming. But the real winner of this look? That smile.

Vivienne Westwood
Of course we couldn't forget about male-model extraordinaire Sergio Lo Re who made his splashy high-fashion debut at the Vivienne Westwood show in Milan. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Dior Homme
Despite rumors that Kris Van Assche may depart Dior Homme, we loved his recent collection. This suit was one of our favorites. The cut is modern, fresh, and downright sexy. Imagine how you'd feel if your date picked you up wearing this.
