Comme Des Garçons Homme Plus: Menswear SS18
Sophia called this “genius” in that loud voice she uses when she really really likes something. So it must have been good. It WAS good. More than good. It was amazing. Often there’s this misapprehension that Rei’s a bit serious
Hermès: Menswear SS18
“Sophisticated letting go,” were the words chosen by Hermès this evening to describe their SS18 menswear outing. Very us. We’ve been sophisticatedly letting go over London, Florence, Milan and Paris and are currently doing so over a large glass of
Balmain: Menswear SS18
We love Balmain. J’adore it. It’s always full-on glam-a-rama. Sophia loves Olivier so much that I think she might adopt him. And today, the lovely Mr Rousteing was looking inwards. To himself. Which is a nice place to look, he’s
GmbH: Menswear SS18
Energy levels flagged this afternoon, and, well, this morning, at lunchtime and now, but mostly this afternoon - up to the point at which Benjamin Huseby and Serhat Isik’s Berlin-based fashion collection GmbH came and gave us the fashion equivalent
Yohji Yamamoto: Menswear SS18
Yohji does Yohji. What is it they say about Gods making men in their image? Surely the same must be said of fashion Gods, which Yohji most certainly is, perhaps even the Zeus of fashion Gods - his enduring influence
Loewe: Menswear SS18
I want to call this skimpy. To which I am mainly referring to a single look, a teeny-tiny suede singlet and equally teeny-tiny shorts. It made us feel strange things. Good strange things. Skimpy also were some little striped knicker-y
Louis Vuitton: Menswear SS18
Exit one and I’m getting a touch of the Garth Spencers. Was our Exec Fashion Director on the moodboard for Kim Jones’ SS18 Louis Vuitton collection this afternoon? In a word: no. He wasn’t. But hear me out - it was something
Rick Owens: Menswear SS18
I’m going to begin by quoting the words of Rick Owens, not through laziness, just because they are very very good. Specifically, his words about the set for today’s SS18 show - an incredible scaffolding construction that rose to the
Dries Van Noten: Menswear SS18
This evening’s Dries Van Noten menswear show took place in the former editorial offices of French newspaper, Libération. The newspaper itself was formed in the wake of the protest movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and somehow it felt like that moment
Watch Louis Vuitton’s SS18 Menswear Show Live At 1:30pm GMT
It's the big one. LV in Paris, baby. A big one you can watch it here, live, in real-time, at 1.30pm GMT. And, as if the occasion wasn't quite big enough already, Aubrey Drake Graham, AKA Drake, will be dropping his newest
Berluti: Menswear SS18
“Modern luxury” is Garth’s verdict. Which seems about on the money. We’re programmed to expect next level beauty from Haider Ackermann, and this evening he giveth us just that via his sophomore collection for the house of Berluti, which, safe
Haider Ackermann: Menswear SS18
There’s something about this I can’t quite put my finger on. I want to call it delicate. Not the clothes themselves, per se, but the boys. There was a softness to them. A boyishness. You want to reach out and
Y/PROJECT: Menswear SS18
For some reason, by which I actually mean one very obvious reason, that being that they both have a Y in them - whenever I read Y/PROJECT, I get Y Control by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs stuck in my head. Not
Valentino: Menswear SS18
This was sporty. Not clothes to play sport in, we don’t do that, and PSA: Valentino should not be sullied with either human sweat, errant balls or other people’s hands. Rather, these were clothes that channelled the energy of sportswear. Anoraks, windbreakers,
Balenciaga: Menswear SS18
Something familiar about this - sitting in a park, staring mistily at hot young dads and fantasising about having what we’ll call a Julia Roberts in Stepmom moment, where the children, though at first reticent, come to love us as
