Thom Browne: Menswear AW18
Is it only me, or is there always something rather church like about a Thom Browne collection? Papal even? Definitely reverant. Welcome to the church of Thom, now get on your knees and worship at the altar biatches. Too much? Whatever.
Sacai: Menswear AW18
According to the press notes the starting point for the new Sacai collection was a New York Times declaration, “truth, it’s more important now than ever”. Which, you have to admit, in a world of fake news, not to mention
Maison Margiela: Menswear AW18
Remember that Diana Ross song, 'Reach out and Touch'? I like to think it inspired John Galliano’s Autumn/ Winter 2018 collection for Maison Margiela. Probably not, but lets not let that stop us from throwing a totally unrelated reference at a review.
Junya Watanabe MAN: Menswear AW18
So, Junya Watanabe. What was the collection like? Allow us to defer once again to resident fashion oracle, Garth Allday Spencer. What he doesn’t know about fashion isn’t worth even writing down, because, you'd just be staring at a blank, wordless
Martine Rose: 10 Years At The Top
Everything you see in these incredible pictures is the product of the last ten years. And each picture cements Martine Rose’s reputation as the designer who took contemporary British menswear - and with it London - to an extraordinary new
Yohji Yamamoto: Menswear AW18
There's always a comforting reassurance to Yohji Yamamoto's shows, a familiarity that speaks both of the designers clarity of vision and insistence on producing collections year on year that offer a piece of himself- they are unashamedly Yohji. This is
Dries Van Noten: Menswear AW18
Apparently, Dries van Noten sent out a press release before his Autumn/Winter 2018 show stating that this season there would be no talking to the press, either before or after the show. Instead, the clothes will have to speak for
Louis Vuitton: Menswear AW18
Yes, the rumours, non rumours even, are true. Kim Jones is leaving the house that Louis built. To quote from, and before I do, I must apologise profusely, it’s been a day of Magic FM, Jamie of Blunt, ‘ Goodbye my
Rick Owens: Menswear AW18
This just in, from the fashion oracle, Garth Allday Spencer of the magazine which you have voluntarily chosen to follow on social media- there was no subliminal messaging involved, scouts honour. So, Rick Owens ; “What was it like babes?
Issey Miyake Men: Menswear AW18
You really have to love Issey Miyake Men. You can’t not. What that man does with a tight, tiny pleat makes everyone go weak at the knees. Literally, fall on the floor, flat on your face weak at the knees.
Off-White: Menswear AW18
Business Casual. That was the name of the Off-White menswear collection for Autumn/Winter 2018. But don’t expect any classic, or for that matter dated, notions of business casual here. There are no navy gold button blazers, worn with a button down shirt
Y/Project: Menswear AW18
Could you say that Y/Project is ever so slightly reminiscent of the Wu Tang Clan? There’s something about the trousers that says early 90’s, LA street to me. Which seeing as Glenn Martens designs are rooted in streetwear probably makes sense. Anyway, back
Valentino: Menswear AW18
Forgive the tangent that is about to vomit all over you, and not in a sexy way, but look up Valentino, the AW18 men’s collection. Now tell me that Look 1- black from head to toe, front pleated pant, tucked
Haider Ackermann: Menswear AW18
There’s always something romantic about a Haider Ackermann collection. A sort of longing for times that came before, travel that permeates every seam. Julie Christie in Dr Zhivago but remade for the modern man. I mean, is there anything more romantic
GmbH Present Men’s And Womenswear For AW18
Imagine the year is 1980 something, lets say the first half of the 1980’s, maybe 1984. Why the hell not? You are an internationally renowned villain, living underground in an evil lair. It’s winter, there is snow outside, you know
