Men’s Fashion: Gray is the new Black
Forget the rainbows; give us clouds! This sort of approach may represent the future of men’s fashion. A recent New York Times article offered a simple messge from Miuccia Prada’s latest show: in men’s fashion, gray is the new black. In her article, “Prada’s Gray Elegy,” Suzy Menkes writes that Ms. Prada “turned the dullness of gray, from dove to anthracite, into a shaded palette.” I have often felt that the economic meltdown has turned the whole world gray; nothing is black and white anymore, it seems. All the more appropriate, then, that men’s fashion designers would choose to show how beautiful gray can be.
