JUUN.J at Pitti Uomo 2016
This seasons Pitti Immagine Uomo guest designer showed the brand's latest wares in the rather grand Stazione Leopolda in Florence, Italy. Upon entering the vast architectural venue, guests gathered in a spotlit courtyard, which alluded, to me anyway, that editors
Liam Hodges: AW16 Menswear
Yesterday was Liam Hodges' first solo show. His Geri Halliwell "Look At Me" moment. Except this was about petrol-heads (official definition - "a person who is overly reliant on the use of their car, resisting any suggestion to use other
Bobby Abley: AW16 Menswear
Feathers, fleeces, pecs and peckers – meaning beaks, you dirty mares. What was going on at Bobby Abley? It was a Rio carnival vibe – with a Christina Aguileria guest appearance (a looky-likey, actually). And the whole thing was camp
Christopher Kane: AW16 Menswear
There’s always a tight correlation between Christopher Kane’s menswear and his womenswear pre-collections, shown at almost the same time. We’re not seeing elastic bandage frocks for him, but there’s a synergy – this time round, perhaps more than ever before.
Burberry: AW16 Menswear
There was a cocktail we used to love called Veuve and Bourb – Veuve Cliquot (the establishment champers of choice) and Bourbon (a hardy, working-class sort of drink), all mixed up together. It often makes us think of Burberry, not
PIETER: AW16 Menswear
Fetish. But like, subtle fetish. A bit like those men who wears women's knickers under their normal clothes. That's what PIETER's AW16 collection put us in mind off. Well, not the knickers part, it was all v masculine, but that same kind of
Gieves & Hawkes: AW16 Menswear Presentation
At Gieves & Hawkes' Autumn/Winter 16 presentation the models stood on plinths. As if they were in a museum. Which was suitable really, not just because of their own aesthetically blessed forms, but where better to put Gieves & Hawkes' tailoring
Dunhill: AW16 Menswear
Dunhill: AW16 Menswear Fashion’s lovely, isn’t it. But sometimes you just want some polished perfection, some sartorially impeccable male style. That’s what Dunhill offers, under designer John Ray, who chose to pull away from the catwalk this season and present his
Belstaff: AW16 Menswear Presentation
Belstaff is bracing itself - and us - for cold adventures come winter. Think Snowy mountains and icy glaciers: “we were inspired by the pioneers of endurance riding," explains VP of Men’s Design, Frederik Dyhr. “who threaded their bikes through some of the
Moschino: AW16 Menswear
After a season showing in Florence as part of Pitti, Jeremy Scott and his Moschino crew returned to London. How to celebrate? Maybe by creating a collection dedicated to Gilbert and George, the most quintessentially British - and specifically London
Alexander McQueen: AW16 Menswear
Lee McQueen loved a well-tailored suit - in his own wardrobe, and on his catwalks, for men and women. Sarah Burton does too - her latest menswear show was an exercise in expert cutting, overlaying formal menswear shapes - tailcoats,
Pringle of Scotland: AW16 Menswear
Pringle staged their Autumn/winter menswear show in a swanky Mayfair members-club so fancy-pants, we're not even allowed to tell you it's name. That's posh. Under gilded cupola and atop a crimson carpet, they showed
James Long: AW16 Menswear
James Long glorified local heroes - not the cat-up-a-tree saving sort, who generally wear terribly boring clothes, but rather his steadfast, stalwart fans who I've glitter, glitz and a bit of glamour in their menswear. Long offers it all up
Margaret Howell: AW16 Menswear
Lovely lovely Margaret Howell. How'll you dress us for Autumn/winter 2016? In a relentlessly rediscovered wardrobe of men's classics that nevertheless look rich and desirable, season after season. Margaret gives good winter - great coats, brilliant sweaters, nice scarves. All
J.W. Anderson: AW16 Menswear
JW Anderson, London fashion's most provocative agent, streamed his Autumn/winter 2016 menswear collection on Grindr. We know you've all been on it Tenners, don't lie. Rather than headless torsos and blurry shots of gentlemens' nether regions, if you tuned in
