The SS15 line from Antonio Marras may just take the cake for my favorite collection here at Milan Uomo this season (okay, I still have about 12 more events and collections to see…but so far).

The Marras line, dedicated to GiGi Riva, famous soccer player (a “hero” deemed by Marras), had a distinct soccer vibe. Imagine Savile Row, with a little sporty edge, and you have the SS15 Marras line.

Aptly located in a outdoor park, models walked to a joyful street band, CLANG, which played percussion atop metal garbage cans. Guests sipped on beer and chips as they watched the designs pass by.

I adored the patterns that accompanied the suits and sportswear looks. The shorts suit, one of my favorite menswear trends, made several appearances, as did colorblocking and geometric prints.

The end of the show included models walking out in soccer jerseys, while a team of trickster soccer youths acrobatically jumped and tossed soccer balls around. After the final carousel, the models even joined the soccer team and kicked the ball around, as did the designer himself.

BDMOTP favorite: Literally, everything.
