37 Styling Tricks to Steal From the Streets of Men's Fashion Week

Killer style really is all in the details.

Killer style really is all in the details. Whether it's a jaunty bow tie, a pair of electric-hued socks, or a dozen delicate bracelets worn in a stack, there's no doubt that small statements can add up to major impact — even when paired with the most serious of duds. An up-close peek at all the little ways industry folk kept it sartorial at the recent men's shows in Milan, London, and Florence right here, in the slideshow.

On the Street and in the Front Row: The Best Snaps From the Men's Shows

It's always Fashion Week somewhere, right?

Men's Fashion Week and Pitti Uomo Street Style | Pictures

It's always Fashion Week somewhere, right? With Pitti Uomo just finishing in Florence, the men's collections recently wrapping in London, and the men's ready-to-wear lines now walking Milan, that new adage has certainly felt truer than over the last few weeks. Thankfully, those recent reasons for hustle have not disappointed — especially in the street-style department. So far in Milan alone there have been glimpses of Tamu McPherson working her magic in vivid hues, Anna Dello Russo giving "borrowed from the boys" a new spin in smart little suits, and Candela Novembre showing her support for the Kaiser in a black-and-white Karl Lagerfeld baseball jacket.

See all those, plus the best front-row and street snaps from Pitti and London, right here in the slideshow.

Kenzo, Maison Kitsuné Tapped as Pitti Guest Designers

Three cheers for the cool kids at Kenzo and Maison Kitsuné: Kenzo will serve as the guest designer for the men's trade show Pitti Uomo, and Maison Kitsuné will occupy the same role at its women's counterpart, Pitti W.

Maison Kitsuné's Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki will host an event at Pitti W when the shows set up in Florence between Jan. 8 and 11, 2013. No plans have been revealed for what Kenzo's Carol Lim and Humberto Leon will do, but past Pitti guest designers have created special presentations of their work. When Carven's Guillaume Henry was Pitti Uomo's guest designer this Summer, for example, he staged a presentation on a soccer field, complete with a marching band, a waiter race, and a seated lunch for members of the press.

Still, it sounds like Kenzo might have something up their sleeves. Lapo Cianchi, Pitti's communications and event director, said, "These two designers know their customers, they know how to create immediate and special things and how to build a world around their work." We wonder what that world will look like at Pitti?

    A Little Piece of Pitti — Shop the Best Pieces from Band of Outsiders and Rodarte

    >> With all the excitement surrounding their guest-designer stints at Pitti Immagine, it's pretty hard not to want to a little piece of Rodarte or Band of Outsiders all for yourself.  While it's true that the two labels don't necessarily share an aesthetic, they do share a coast — and similar free-wheeling creative approaches.

    Buy Pitti Guest Designers Band of Outsiders and Rodarte

    >> With all the excitement surrounding their guest-designer stints at Pitti Immagine, it's pretty hard not to want to a little piece of Rodarte or Band of Outsiders all for yourself.  While it's true that the two labels don't necessarily share an aesthetic, they do share a coast — and similar free-wheeling creative approaches. As Band of Outsider's Scott Sternberg explains, "There's a freedom to what we're doing, and I think it's reflected in the product, and it's reflected in the brand." We couldn't agree more. In fact, in honor of their respective Pitti appearances, we've rounded up 16 very desirable pieces from both labels — all available online now. Click through to see the selection.

    >> Haider Ackermann was invited to present a Pre-Spring 2011 collection — even though he does not typically do pre-collections — as part of Pitti W, the womenswear portion of Pitti Uomo currently going on in Florence.  He promised Style.com that "my friend Jamie Bochert will be playing piano and singing" at the show, and that's just what happened yesterday.

    Chandeliers were hung from the ceiling at the Palazzo Corsini, where the show took place, and Bochert was the first model out, walking in silence before taking a seat at a grand piano. She opened the the show with a piano medley, which included a rendition of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and was accompanied by a violinist and a cellist. Garance Dore, who captured the show, described the proceedings: "I’ve never heard her voice and I was absolutely blown away. It was soft, suave, and dreamy, like a summer night. Then slowly, to her music, the models started out. After a few sublime songs, Jamie got up. The show was over."

    A video of Bochert's performance, below.
