Kenzo: Menswear SS17
Remember your school disco? Your first rave? Dressing like Damon Albarn in the nineties and hoping, desperately, you looked as cool as he did? That's what Humberto Leon and Carol Lim's Kenzo show was all about. It was an ode
Comme Des Garcons: Menswear SS17
“Many years ago there was an Emperor so exceedingly fond of new clothes that he spent all his money on being well dressed. He cared nothing about reviewing his soldiers, going to the theatre, or going for a ride in
Maison Margiela: Menswear SS17
Generally when people call a guy "ripped" they're talking about buffed-out, steroided muscle mass rather than, we don't know, a shredded bit of coat or a torn hem. Always unraveling, though, is the man of Maison Margiela. This season was
Givenchy: Menswear SS17
Spiritual awakening, sunshine, fatigues, brilliant prints, mirrored embroideries, and a baker’s dozen of brilliant haute couture gowns. That was Riccardo Tisci’s spring Givenchy collection, in short. Tisci staged it out in the open, all the better for admiring his winking,
Juun.J: Menswear SS17
Juun.J doled out a knitted beanie emblazoned with the slogan "COVERED" as invite for his spring/summer 2017 show. We don't need it in the blazing sun of Junetime Paris, but it was a nice gesture. Especially as the same word
Junya Watanabe: Menswear SS17
Junya Wayanabe had a bit of a Bugsy Malone moment for spring. It was all about the hustler, the hoodlum, the big man. Like Grant or Phil off of Eastenders, but much chicer. The models were tough faced wide boys
Ann Demeulemeester: Menswear SS17
Rebel in love was the theme of Sébastien Meunier’s Spring 2017 collection for Ann Demeulemeester, according to the designer himself. Plenty of rebels fall in love with Demeulemeester's style, both under the founder and now during Meunier’s tenure. Because the
Emporio Armani’s Reveals “Remix” Capsule Collection
Think of this as one of those remixes they play after 6pm on Capital FM. Like Adele, Hello (Dance Remix). Something beautiful, made even more so. Euphoric. Or Beyonce's Deja Vu (Freemasons Remix), Dominic's particular favourite. Perfect for, in his words,

Yohji Yamamoto: Menswear SS17
Have you met Yohji Yamamoto? Because as soon as you do, you realise his menswear line is utterly, unequivocally him. Yamamoto is insanely stylish - a bit loose, a bit louche, definitely relaxed, intrinsically confident. It’s reflected in the clothes
Issey Miyake: Menswear SS17
Every designer starts with a blank piece of paper. But most, say, doodle something on it and begin a collection. Yusuke Takahashi is genius in the true mould of Issey Miyake though. Instead, he took the paper itself as the
Dries Van Noten: Menswear SS17
“Arts and Crafts.” That was Dries Van Noten’s post-show soundbite after a collection filled with fringing, embroidery, embellishment, and patchwork of all kinds. Sometimes the clothes were even sewn together inn patchwork, just laid on top of one another to
Kolor: Menswear SS17
What is very important is that the clothes have hidden details that are not part of the styling,” said Junichi Abe backstage after his KOLOR spring 2017 show. We were going to writer menswear show - but who does those
Louis Vuitton: Menswear SS17
Back to your roots. Odyssey famously sang about it - obviously they weren't thinking Garden Force, but reconnecting with your origins, with your source. That was also the inspiration behind Kim Jones' Spring 2017 offering for Louis Vuitton. The Monogram
