Showcasing his Fall 2014 menswear collection at Milan Men's Fashion Week, Richmond featured knee-length skirts with front pleats layered with a man's suit in matching fabric, a novel variation of the three-piece suit which the designer attributes to being inspired by Pink, rather than a Scottish kilt.

"I don't think that guys look feminine wearing a skirt. They look really cool," he said.

The overall mood of the collection was decidedly masculine, with leather white-on-black bomber jackets, quilted jackets with leather pants, pullover sweatshirts with optical flair and sartorial suits in checks and stripes.

At the end of the show, Richmond's 3-year-old son Lou joined him on the runway for a hug.
