Fashion can sometimes exist in a bubble — insulated from the gloom and dreariness of world events. In the case of Thom Browne’s Moncler Gamme Bleu collection for fall, the bubble was a particularly big one — and the effect, unnerving, given the heightened security measures at the Milan shows this season.

Does it make sense to show men’s and women’s collections on the same runway? A growing number of designers here in Milan are saying “yes,” including Miuccia Prada, who explained her motivation thus: “When working on the men’s collections, I am always interested and very much enjoy investigating the various different ways men and women react to the same idea with total freedom.”

The show on platform 22—due for departure at 8:00 p.m.—was delayed by 35 minutes. That’s life come the climax of Milan menswear Sunday, the most densely packed show day in the calendar.

Sometimes, you drift into a show with your head on autopilot. This reviewer must have been borderline catatonic before Vivienne Westwood’s collection this afternoon.

Icon is an overused term across contemporary culture, not just in fashion. It’s in current rotation to describe everything from a hamburger to a pair of underpants. Outside the Fall 2016 Calvin Klein Collection show, thousands of screaming girls chanted the name of Cameron Dallas, an apparent online sensation.

Massimiliano Giornetti literally based every look in this collection upon a shoe designed by his employer’s founder that was once owned by Andy Warhol.
