This celebration of commercial and well-recognised items now stretches beyond workwear to encompass military and sportswear themes, which, when combined with Italy's flair for fashion, has made for a strong Fall '16 season. FashionUnited has collected the best collections spotted at Milan Men's Fashion Week below. Jil San

Raf Simons on Wednesday showed his first menswear collection in Paris since departing the House of Dior. Journalists and buyers stood in a maze of wooden walls that formed the backdrop of a Twin Peaks-inspired collection. There were no seats.

A catwalk show presented by a luxury fashion house steeped in heritage is more often than not a proposition to a way of dressing. It is not advisable to take each look as literal. At Gucci, with its layers of styling tinged with 70s references and Woodstock, it is about dissecting these layers, to find pieces to elevate our wardrobes and for consumers to make them their own. Because in menswear, brocade suiting, embroidered silk pyjamas, a pussy-bow shirt and lustrous gold footwear, remains

Italian fashion houses are rotating their Creative Directors as much as in Paris, with Gucci, Pucci and Cavalli all appointing new designers in the past year.

But Carlo Capasa, President of the Italian Chamber of Fashion, is confident the big names of the fashion world will kick back with a "dose of positive energy" over the next five days.

However, the brand has decided to make a return to their roots with their new Dioressence stiletto. The shoe is reinterpretation of the luxury label's heel from their spring 1959 collection with some modern updates and a variety of color offerings.
