Milan Vukmirovic, Ports 1961's men's designer, offered ornate patterns for his SS18 collection that was inspired by African architecture and fashion. Positive messages of love and inclusivity were shown throughout, a nice touch since June is LGBTQ Pride month. Meanwhile, the diverse cast wearing these ornately patterned clothes, some offering studs and rivets to add a hard edge, is always nice to see in Milan, has been quite good with adding a broader array of models from all backgrounds. Though his intention was good, one particular message on a sweater, "All Colors Matters", felt daft and seemed akin the "All Lives Matter" message which, inherently, ignores the message behind "Black Lives Matters": not that black lives matter more but because of institutional racism, black lives are treated with less respect than those of other skin colors and so the message behind BLM is that "we matter too" and this particular sweater with that message seemed to miss the point entirely.

Milan Vukmirovic showed his latest collection for Ports 1961 in Milan on the first day of Milan Fashion Week, though the official schedule only states one show (it's Ermenegildo Zegna) but that's a digression. This latest collection was full of thoughts of love, seen as hearts on shirts, the word plastered on sleeves in different languages from Arabic to Japanese. Love is something the world really needs more of. The idea was really, no pun intended, quite lovely. However, the collection felt like a redux of one he's done before. Sure there were some great coats and the addition of a few bands of color added a nice touch. The collection was not bad, in any sense of the word. It was, however, predictable and a bore, which in this day and age of instant gratification could be considered worse than showing a badly designed or executed collection. Silver lining: at least the clothes will sell?

Italian label Ports 1961 unveiled its latest campaign today with a black and white series of photographs showcasing the designs of its designer (and the campaign's photographer) Milan Vukmirovic. Adonis Bosso is the lone model in the campaign but is joined by style-makers Nick Wooster and Miguel Arnau, all styled by Scarlet Viquel.

Milan Vukmirovic aimed to harmoniously meld romanticism and the military for his SS17 collection for Ports 1961. Though during a time of such worldwide strife and war, the two ideas behind the SS17 collection may not be so compatible but Vukmirovic at least attempted. The resulting collection harped too heavily on frogging and other military detailing when the strongest parts of the collection were the sportier, weekend-warrior looks, like a seersucker blouson with tailored shorts or a simple but sharply made plaid shirt.

Fashion week is getting longer and longer. From London to Florence to Milan to Paris to New York. Now Milan is kicking off its fashion week a day early, causing a bit of consternation from editors and buyers who need to transport to Milan from Florence. Nevertheless, those who made it back were treated to a supermodel bonanza at Ports 1961. Milan Vukmirovic brought with him his chiseled and hard-bodied friends to walk in the show, including Chad White who opened, and Instagram-celebrity Lucky Blue Smith.

As for the collection, it was well made with some great pieces. Coats, especially, were exceptional while sportswear felt scattered with many references and accoutrements that were a bit showy, like the fringe-belt-cum-fanny-pack. There were also African prints and influences from Japan to add to the jumble.

Milan Vukmirovic not only designs the collections at Ports 1961 but also captures the imagery for the campaign. For FW15, Julian Schneyder is tapped to be the face and body for the collection, juxtaposing great coats with clear blue skies and hints of extreme sports.

Milan Vukmirovic debuted his first runway collection for Ports 1961 during Pitti Uomo today. The fresh collection looked to California for inspiration, starting with a chic elongated varsity jacket and then showcasing a multitude of athleisure heavy designs, from wiry tanks to Southwest American inspired patterns on shirts, and, of course, the requisite surf board. Iconography was another element, from bird motifs to style icons like Nick Wooster making a runway cameo.

Ports 1961 recently announced that Milan Vukmirovic would become the label's creative director. The Fall/Winter 2015 collection is his first collection and gone are the endless streams of exquisitely tailored suits. Instead, Vukmirovic created a much sportier collection, rooted in trends like wide pants, with hints of femininity. Stronger offerings include the military suits, like a color blocked peacoat or vibrant banana-yellow toggle coat.

It was all about angles at Ports 1961's Spring/Summer 2015 runway show. Sharp cuts on shirts (preferring cutaway collars), suits and outerwear looked modern and sleek while more casual looks stayed rigid in their silhouettes. The Ports 1961 man is someone who lives the prim, proper and sartorial lifestyle 24/7. There were no slouchy shoulders here, instead the looks were softened slightly with wider pants. The highlight, however, were the super chic outerwear, from glossy trenches to an anorak.

After taking a break from the runway last season, Ports 1961 is back on the Milan fashion calendar. We suspect their time off was used to re-evaluate and the result was a play on proportions for FW14. The strong and confident tailoring we saw during FW13 is still present but has been relaxed so it's not so rigid, it's almost romantic now, with rounded shoulders and a sprinkling of a cape here and there. We think the time off the runway was time well spent if this was the result.
