MILAN (AP) — Caught between the pandemic and war in Europe, Milan luxury fashion designers on Friday open four days of mostly menswear previews for next spring and summer in a challenging economic climate. Runway shows have mostly returned to live format with pre-pandemic tight seating, but a longed-for return to normal has once again been delayed. Canadian designing twins Dsquared2 had just the remedy for that: an upbeat eclectic collection for next summer that is a Bob Marley mash-up of 1970s hippie and surfer. In the front row was Italian Olympic gold medalist Marcell Jacobs, taking a fashion break before resuming training for the worlds this weekend.
