One of the most visited
attractions in the city of Florence is Michelangelo’s David statue. The larger-than-life man of
marble has been famous for centuries, a symbol of male beauty and a model of
sculptural skill. Notably, David wears no clothing. However, if he were a
flesh-and-blood man of the modern world he would have plenty of local designers
waiting to dress his perfect physique. Indeed, many of the icons of men’s fashion hail from Italy. Armani, Dolce
& Gabbana, Fendi, Ferragamo, Prada and Versace are only a few of the
fashion houses based in Italy whose clothing is coveted by the best dressed men
(and women!) all over the world.
