Trading London’s rainy weather for the Italian sun, photographer Yu Fujiwara continued his journey through the SS20 menswear shows, taking to the streets for Pitti Uomo and Milan Fashion Week

The images show designer Raf Simons heading into collaborator and friend Sterling Ruby’s debut show, as well as designer Virgil Abloh during MFW. The famous line-up in the images didn’t end there though. Musician Mykki Blanco, Dazed 100 filmmaker Jordan Hemingway, casting director Walter Pearce, and designer Charles Jeffrey all make appearances in Fujiwara’s pictures too.

Elsewhere, this season saw hair colour be used as more of an accessory and statement. When Donatella Versace sent models down the runway with Keith Flint-inspired hair, the streets followed suit. One attendee was spotted sporting the same shade neon green on his hightop haircut while other off-duty models were spotted with fiery orange hair. 

Among all the chaos though, a moment of calm, with Fujiwara capturing a a group of nuns conversing in front of a mini food market in Florence.

See all the images in the gallery above.
