If it’s Monday, Scorecard must be in Milan. Resort may have just wrapped for the ladies, but as our color-coded master fashion calendar reminds us, it’s time to get up to speed on the spring 2011 men’s-wear shows, which is why we’ve pulled double duty reading all the reviews so you don’t have to. Between John Varvatos’s 10th-anniversary rocker-chic redux and Dolce & Gabbana’s 20th-anniversary Sicilian sartorial extravaganza, this weekend designers were taking a long look back. Yet it was Raf Simons’s Koonsian pastiche for Jil Sander oakley frogskin sunglasses, which was actually shown in Florence last Thursday as part of Pitti Uomo, that blew everyone else out of the water, reminding us that granddad-like isn’t necessarily chic. Celebration, indeed.
