Andrea Incontri, a good reason to go to Fashion Week in Milano

One of the reason to go to Fashion Weeks in Milano, London, New York, Paris is to check Who is on Next as the famous Vogue Talent competition calls it. This time the gold medal is going to Andrea Incontri. Not so famous yet even though he designs the men's collection for Tod's, he is a great talent that will explode in short-medium term. In Milano I saw something new in terms of fabrics and shapes. Andrea Incontri plays with fringes, mirrors, paillettes in a good balance between beauty and technology. www.andreaincontri.com

The store is near Piazza Navona where unfortunatly a lot of ugly tourists shops are ruining the area.
