Milan Fashion Week has taught us a lesson that is most likely directly related to the prevailing inflation: Simplification is the strategy to focus on. As much as the world of menswear has moved away from the prevailing canons of the past and the success of the first wave of streetwear, the Milan Fashion Week shows FW 23/24 reaffirmed the importance of the essentials in fashion. Alongside the great formalwear classics and gender-neutral experiments, one of the most successful garments was the bomber jacket.

A fashion staple in the midst of 2016, the bomber jacket had become a must-have item for celebrities and beyond. Kanye West, as always, had been one of the first to wear the Alpha Industries bomber jacket in a variety of colors in which the brand's signature orange interior was the lowest common denominator that accounted for the looks of Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber just to name a few. Although it has remained in the imagination of some brands-Balenciaga made one with three stripes for its collabo with adidas, the catwalks of the last few days seem to have rekindled the love between brands and one of those garments capable of crossing every fashion era by readjusting according to trends and the imagination of the designer of reference.
