Stay Classic. It Lasts Longer.

Times are changing but some things are always the same. Menswear style is evolving quickly. Subculture trends continute to elbow their way into the mainstream. Gender free looks loved by millennials. As a fashion term, “gender free” is lost term on me, coined by the media to keep up with general public’s lifestyle acceptance. Streetwear now conveys credentials of modernity. The more you look “in today” the more out you look tomorrow.

While 2019 is not short of trends. Some feel fleeting. Contemporary man may explore different fashion avenues but mens styles absorb then veers towards classic. Style Maestro David Bowie transitioned from flamboyant showman to tailored threads.

Since the Industrial Revolution masculinity has been based on a physical appearance with upper class perspectives. A man wearing a nice suit goes to the head of the line. As my grandmother said, “always have a nice pair of shoes.” Mix and match if you can.

Stay tuned for my recommendations on what a man should have in his closet. Secondly, how to mix and match pieces for a “max effect”.

A Sportswear Rival Born.

Post author By Editor

Spyder is a Korean-American active wear label. I attended the presentation last June. I found the collection impressive. In January 2019 at Milan Fashion Week Men the brand held its first runway show. Menswear mingled with a few womenswear looks.

It is too early to say if Spyder can become a rival to the likes of Nike or Under Armour but they are giving it a try.

Which card for Pitti Uomo? I like them all but I think one is enough.

A Preview from Berluti

Post author By Editor
Post date 28/10/2018

Launched in 1895 in Paris by Alessandro Berluti, the eponymous menswear label has a long heritage of being the dandy reference for style. Worn by Frank Sinatra, Robert DiNiro, and Yves Siant Laurent to name a few. Berluti was a brand known for leather shoes and custom bespoke suits.

On a trip to Paris I had an appointment on rue Marbeuf, by luck, the Berluti atelier and store were next door. Could I resist? No! I walked in for a moment of fashion admiration. It is brand I plan to add to my closet.

Belgian Designer Kris Van Assche is now head of the house. The former Dior Menswear designer, is a graduate from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Art. Assche’s appointment as head of the Parisian brand is one I am cautiously happy about this because I think his minimal styled approach could work, male classicism mixed with streetwear influences.

This preview capsule collection gives me hope, the first full fashion show will be be shown at the upcoming Paris Fashion Week Men, nothing over the top, staying with the strengths. The colors scheme is reds, black and white, and tailored suits.

I am still not a fan of the chunky trainer look, maybe it is a generational gap, but Berluti has introduced them. I could also do without the over the top branding. Fashion is a business based on trends, the brand has to cater to what buyers want, and “big” “show your brand” is “in” with consumers.

I am waiting for January 2019 to see if Berluti + Kris van Assche are a team made in fashion heaven. It will be very interesting.

London Fashion Week Mens Dunhill

Post author By Editor
Post date 11/06/2017

Dunhill, the epitome of British menswear, continued the brand’s tradition of classic tailoring. Refinement is the word I would use to describe a collection that stayed within all the boundaries. New Creative Director Mark Weston has inherited a brand a strong identity but there was a need to make it more modern. He did not add any new twists but instead veered to the safe side. I cannot blame him. Luxury is about small details that people in the know would recognize.

Casualwear, jackets and other outerwear were on display, some with cashmere and luxury fabrics. The leather goods were traditionally masculine, and modern. There was a patterned bag that was less about being flashy but trying to have a bit of a contemporary edge.

It is going to be interesting to see where Dunhill goes in the future.

Founded in 2012, the Lucio Vanotti brand philosophy is minimalism. Chosen by Giorgio Armani to present his collection in the Armani Theatre, this season the designer displayed his latest menswear looks at Pitti Uomo in Florence.

Mr. Vanotti preferred loose fitting silhouette that elongated the body with stripes and high waist fittings.

During Milan Fashion Week Men I paid a visit to the Jimmy Choo Presentation. Celebrated for the subtle and not so subtle added elements of blink design. The label continues to establish itself in menswear shoes. This season the highlights were the more lux casual shoes.
