BOSS: Menswear SS18
This collection was called "Summer of Ease." Prophecy? We hope so. BOSS's latest offering, shown in New York yesterday, was all about airy sartorialism and luxy workwear - a far cry from the immaculately fitted and refined tailoring that BOSS has
Raf Simons: Menswear SS18
In case the following prose doesn't give us away: we are not in New York, we did not see Raf Simons' SS18 show last night. We were in bed. And, whilst we enjoy being in bed, we are obviously totally jel.
A.P.C.: Menswear SS18
For his Spring 2018 collection, Jean Touitou brought the runway to him - more specifically, his A.P.C. store just off Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. Smart. And the models? Who needs a casting agent when you have a shop full of strapping
Demna Shoots His SS18 Vetements Collection On Street-Cast Zurich Locals
I like to think that RuPaul's "Supermodel" was playing whilst Demna Gvasalia photographed his latest Vetements collection, those images taking the place of a runway show which the brand have ditched from now on. Models here were shown a book of
Alexander McQueen: Menswear SS18
We’ve missed Alexander McQueen's menswear shows. Always good clothes, obviously, but also because a McQueen show, any McQueen show, feels like a bit of a moment. And tonight, more so - this was their very first time showing in Paris (joining
Paul Smith Shows His Men’s And Women’s SS18 Collection In Paris
Second time that Paul Smith’s boys and girls shared the catwalk, this season delivering up what we will call a fishy feast. Perhaps you could even say they were serving fish on the runway (har har). Those fish appeared across the
Thom Browne: Menswear SS18
The handsome Mr Browne served up half-man, half-queen realness this evening at his #SS18 menswear show. Referring, ofc, to that final exit, whereby our gentleman model was groom up front, bride down back. I mean, trust in Thom to give us
Lanvin: Menswear SS18
You always sort of forget just how good Lucas Ossendrijver’s menswear is until you are reminded twice yearly at the shows. Because it’s really very good. And what’s good about it is this: these are clothes that reflect what people
Kenzo Close Things Out With A Combined Men’s And Women’s Show
Our last show of Paris and OMG there’s a bungee situation at Kenzo. Lots of bouncy abseiling boys and girls pon the walls on the Lycée Camille Sée. Properly fab. Collection itself, for both men and women, came from two
Dior Homme: Menswear SS18
Astro turf flooring. Maybe this isn’t the best way to start a write-up but it was there, and it was green. And felt nice to walk on. Astro turf could, in some cases, be utilised as a poor substitute for
Acne Studios: Menswear SS18
Garth very much enjoyed being a model today at Acne Studios SS18 presentation. Not a real one, but we’re not not telling him that. Instead this was something of a role reversal, a Freaky Friday moment, as us, the fashion public,
Sacai Mash-up Mens And Womens Collections In Paris
There was a hiker meets wild west moment at Sacai this morning. Sporty quilted outerwear had a suede yoke across the chest, like a cowboy’s shirt, anoraks, in brilliant blue, fell away into tassels. There were plaids and checks, Navajo-style prints,
Juun.J Show An XXL Men’s And Womens Collection In Paris
There’s something on the bed-sheet to this. Which is nice. We like bed. We like being in bed. We’d rather be in bed now - etc. etc. It meant that Juun.J's collection this afternoon felt excessive. No bad thing -
Ann Demeulemeester: Menswear SS18
I actually really like what Sebastien Meunier is doing at Ann Demeulemeester. He’s found a nice groove at the brand, balancing Ann’s dark, gothy vision with something wholly more romantic - helped by the fact that he doesn’t throw about
Junya Watanabe Man: Menswear SS18
Early start for Junya, but it’s always worth it. Can’t help but think of Richard Gray every time I see Junya, mainly because he’s probably wetting his pants right about now thinking about all those purchases he’s going to make
