Ports 1961: Designer Milan Vukmirovic worked with a star motif camouflage for his first season at Ports 1961

Tod's: Andrea Incontri continues to trump himself as menswear creative director at Tod's. The Italian designer's expertise in accessories shone through on cool, new details such as sneakers with monk strap buckles and nylon rucksacks, but also appeared on innovative clothing like herringbone stamped suede jackets

Sergio Rossi: The classic Derby gets a heavy-duty makeover with military inspired soles at Sergio Rossi

Z Zegna: Technology and tailoring come together for the 'Icon Warmer' at Z Zegna's A/W presentation

Missoni: The Trans-Siberian rail line was the Missoni muse this season, providing a rich background for the brand's beautifully buttoned-up tailoring.

Massimo Piombo: The Italian designer continues to be our favourite purveyor of dandy-esque style. For winter he’s fallen for Austrian mohair ('it’s the best in the world!'), as well as heavy shawl-dressing. 'Blankets are the new coats!' he says enthusiastically. Watch out for his new menswear store in industrial designer Gae Aulenti’s ex-atelier, which will open in June

Façonnable: Slip-on sneakers from the limited-edition Façonnable X Jean Cocteau capsule collection

Andrea Pompilio: Offering up Milan's best mix of young, edgy design, Pompilio's show at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera was a military mélange dedicated to the sophisticated aviator

Ermenegildo Zegna: A new uniform for the eco leader at Ermenegildo Zegna where designer Stefano Pilati brought together sustainability and luxury

Versace: A more pared-down outing was seen at Versace this season, which was all the better to appreciate the house's innovative use of fabrication and sharp tailoring

Larusmiani: Cashmere coats, silk puffers and cashmere plaid jackets were all new for Larusmiani this winter

Dolce & Gabbana: This season saw an ambitious ‘family affair’ themed show that offered plenty of sharp classic suiting to please grandmother, while the rock-studded and embroidered sweatshirts were pure teenage fantasy.

Neil Barrett: The designer served up urban military boy's clothes dominated by cool cut-work and enough olive green to fill a few hundred fields in Puglia.
