The Spring/Summer 2014 menswear shows are underway in Milan, with the second London Collections: Men and Pitti Uomo events just wrapped in London and Florence, respectively. The season's Paris leg starts on Wednesday. By frockwriter’s count 11 Australian men walked the Fall/Winter 2013/2014 runways in February and March this year, including several new faces such as Nathaniel Visser, Elijah Tyedmers, Saint Laurent fave Reuben Ramacher and of course James Gatenby, the Sydney Uni science major who made his international debut opening Louis Vuitton as an exclusive. So far this season, we have spotted eight ten twelve thirteen. Not to mention one Kiwi woman - frockwriter fave Holly Rose Emery, on no less than Prada's runway, in one of a handful of women's Resort 2014 looks that were thrown into the show.

Gatenby – who could double as the younger brother of Irish actor Cillian Murphy - looks to be making quite the impact in his sophomore season, leading the Aussie pack with eight shows under his belt thus far. 

Overnight, the Calvin Klein Collection show featured four Australians: Visser, Joel Meacock and identical twins Jordan and Zac Stenmark. 

At one point in the show, amusingly, the producer sent out Meacock, Visser and Zac Stenmark one after the other - with Jordan Stenmark following almost immediately afterwards. Watch below at the 5'15" mark:

Here are the Australian men on the SS14 radar so far and shows walked. 

More to come.
