The men’s grooming trends that shaped Milan Fashion Week A/W 2014

Bottega Veneta: Guido Palau devised a charming bed-head for the boys, while Pat McGrath's bright faces contrasted nicely with Tomas Maier's rich colour palette
Calvin Klein Collection: Italo Zucchelli's sportswear infused Calvin Klein outing was matched to Paul Hanlon's sharp and slicked back hair
Roberto Cavalli: The maximalist looks of Roberto Cavalli were enhanced by Matt Mullhall's wild manes. Long locks were twisted back with a generous dash of hair gel and finished with a black hair band
Dolce & Gabbana: The design duo's models sported a sexy Italian look with a slightly rough feel for S/S 2014, courtesy of textured hair and full face stubble
Dsquared2: Michele Magnani created a healthy look for the Caten twins' boys, with over-tanned cheeks and pastel-pale lips. Hair stylist Mauro Situra then added to their youthful appearance with stiff, messy manes
Salvatore Ferragamo: Another casual hairdo was spotted at Salvatore Ferragamo, where Matt Mulhall's styles noticeably contrasted with Massimiliano Giornetti's grown-up tailoring
Gucci: Superstar team Luigi Murenu and Pat McGrath complemented the 1960s feel of Frida Giannini's collection with their matching, decade-appropriate hair and make-up look
Jil Sander: Despite the latest loss of its namesake designer, the Italian house's creative team dreamt up ethereally groomed boys for S/S 2014, sporting Guido Palau's neatly parted hair and Mark Carrasquillo dewy lips
Z Zegna: Irregularly snipped hair was paired with a very slightly blushed cheek and lip by Paul Hanlon and Christelle Cocquet at Z Zegna
John Varvatos: The boys at John Varvatos had coloured tribal motifs painted on their faces with tousled hair to match
Moncler: The playful prints of Thom Browne's collection were paired with neat, preppy hairdos by Beppe D'Elia, who was also responsible for the boys' uniform complexions
Prada: Guido Palau's hairstyles at Prada were casual and textured, while Pat McGrath gave the skin a dewy look with a hint of blush on the lips
Versace: Over at Donatella's show, Pat McGrath and Guido Palau achieved a luxurious, shiny look that was in keeping with the collection's opulent tones
Ermenegildo Zegna: Didier Malige's swept fringes were in perfect harmony with Stefano Pilati's exquisitely detailed collection for Ermenegildo Zegna. The softly toned skin was courtesy of Aaron De Mey
Vivienne Westwood: The helmet-like hairstyles at Vivienne Westwood were sleekly pulled back and side-parted, with the edges painted in black to enhance the artificial effect
Emporio Armani: Hair and make-up team Roberta Bellazzi and Fabiana Clavario created a fresh, casual look for Emporio Armani, consisting of politely groomed hair and luminous skin
