I've been reviewing the menswear shows in Milan that are posted over at Style.com and so far I've looked at three collections: Emporio Armani, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana. To be quite honest, I'm not too impressed with anything I've seen so far, but then again I never really get too excited about the men's collections. After all, I am a woman! In all fairness to my men readers, however, I make an effort to cover menswear.  Maybe it's because I'm from the West and I'm just used to seeing shorts and flip-flops, but I just don't see many of these pieces from Armani, Prada, and D & G making it to the "street". As brilliant and innovative the designers are, it just doesn't translate into everyday wear for me. Pictured here is an ensemble from the Spring/Summer 2008 Prada collection. I suddenly have flashbacks of my dad back in the 70's.... Check out all the menswear runway reviews over at Style.com... Photo Credit: Style.com/Marcio Madeira
