Christopher Kane: Menswear SS17
Before I go on, just a small tip to keep in mind, more me than you actually, when attending a presentation and the designer of said collection which you are viewing waves at you smiling, maybe don’t accidentally blank him.
Kiko Kostadinov: Menswear SS17
Two Births, Two Deaths, was the title of Kiko Kostadinov presentation today, his very first since graduating the Central Saint Martins MA this year. Thankfully, there were neither births nor deaths, which could have been really very messy, and potentially ruined
House of Holland: Menswear SS17
Think of Henry Holland's latest offering for the males of the species as the fashion equivalent of sploshing. You know, that fetish where you get off on being covered in food, having pie smashed into your arse for example. Or
Belstaff: Menswear SS17
Rugged. The most appropriate word to describe the Spring/Summer 2017 collection from Belstaff. Makes you just wanna grrrr. It was shown on a Sunday. On Any Sunday is also the name of a 1971 film which stars Steve McQueen. And this
Liam Hodges: Menswear SS17
I know I've said before that you shouldn't really start one of these things with a quote from the press release, but what if that quote poses a very valid question, one that more people should be focusing on and
Coach: Menswear SS17
There was a backdrop of a vast midwestern skyline at Coach SS17. Black and white and ominous and very reminiscent of the horizon in Faster Pussycat. Kill! Kill! The difference though between the Russ Meyer classic and Coach is that
Prada: AW16 Menswear Campaign
Who knew Eddie Redmayne was the keeper of the keys? He holds them all, it seems. But to what? Your heart, perhaps, but that can’t be all. It looks as if he’s on a mission, set to explore the world,
Alexander McQueen: Menswear SS17
Alexander McQueen aren't having a menswear show this season. Sarah's on maternity leave. But fear not. We have pictures. Very nice pictures. Lensed by Julia Hetta. They are what one might call evocative. Painterly, even. Akin to a Victorian portrait. But
Sibling: Menswear SS17
It doesn't take much to excite us, but it's fair to say that Sibling went above and beyond today when the first boy, or should we say man, walked out to the sound of Dr Dre and Tu Pac's California, a
Christopher Raeburn: Menswear SS17
The starting point for Christopher Raeburn's SS17 collection was George Lucas’ debut film, THX 1138. A film I might add, that I have never seen, but then I don’t think I’ve ever seen a George Lucas film, except for American Graffiti.
Christopher Shannon: Menswear SS17
"Denim, functionality and hard-wearing textiles are at the heart of the Christopher Shannon Menswear Spring/Summer 2017”, and while it’s probably bad form to start a ‘review’, with the first line of the press release, whatever, there was a lot of denim
Wales Bonner: Menswear SS17
For her first solo showing outside of Fashion East, Wales Bonner conjured up the figure of Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. And man that, so we are told, is considered amongst the Rastafari movement to be the
Margaret Howell: Menswear SS17
There was a lot of flesh at Margaret Howell. Well, for Margaret Howell anyway. Arms were bare. Boys wore simple vests in linen or a mustard knit tucked loosely into relaxed linen trousers or shorts. Apart from the baring of flesh though
J.W.Anderson: Menswear SS17
"Are you sitting comfortably? Then let us begin". And so begun J.W.Anderson's Spring/Summer 2017 show. Just like a story. And not just any story - Peter and the Wolf specifically. Very apt for a collection which felt like it had a
Alex Mullins: Menswear SS17
To quote from the notes that are press, for this SS17 season Alex Mullins, "takes on the repetitive and formulaic traits of the internet by self-referencing to form memes within the collection, building, customising, cutting and pasting ideas in a
