At a talk in London recently, Tom Ford issued a challenge. For once, he wanted to read a review of the catwalk shows in which it was stated that there was no change. Nothing new, all was the same. It is a dubious pleasure to grant Ford's wish. At the menswear shows for Spring/Summer 2010 in Milan this week, there was change - but none that will really affect the way that men dress every day. During the shows, I thought back to what I saw at the menswear collections a year ago, which is what we should be wearing today. The ideas on the catwalk then are nowhere to be seen now. Right now, the effect of men's catwalk fashion on the street is imperceptible.
