Alyx brings back the sock boots

The sock boot came two years ago to break the shoe market numbers. With Balenciaga and then a lot more brands to follow, it was the ‘‘it’’ boot to have for more than 3 seasons.

This year ( and after 2 seasons break) Alyx, the high-end label best known for playing outside the menswear box, has just released its ultra-luxurious take on the style—and it was certainly worth the wait.

This designer sock sneaker features a dreamy palette of whites and greys, with a few contrasting pops of darker shades. The elongated knit upper wraps snuggly up the ankle, and the futuristic silhouette sits on top of one serious treaded sole.

It was sharp of Williams and Alyx to wait for sock sneaker madness to die down before unleashing these on the world and it seems to be the right move.

Shop the boots on Farfetch.

GCDS SS20 men's collection at Milan Fashion Week

GCDS invites you to K-HAWAII…. in Milan!

K-Hawaii is GCDS’s modernized amalgamation of the word Kawaii (cute or adorable in Japanese) and Hawaii, one of the most beautiful places in the world, a tropical paradise rich with history. GCDS presents summertime seduction, where Kawaii is cute and at the same time sexy. This futuristic take on manga touches on the very concepts that formed the genre: a careful balance of suspense and humor, regulation versus fantasy, and idealized love featuring over-stylized and over-sexualized heroines. 

Kawaii is represented by iconic pop symbols from The Care Bears to Hello Kitty, with vibrant colors and playful prints, all fused together by Anna Trevelyan’s styling.

TOM FORD mens SS20 collection at New York Fashion Week

Tom Ford has presented his menswear collection for spring / summer 2020 during New York Fashion Week and we love every single piece of it.

Sophisticated suiting, luxurious outerwear, a James Dean silhouette with greased-back, 1950s waves and leather jacket looks. The models rocked the runway as the street punks of today with pastel pink and monochrome looks leading the collection.

Our favourite menswear trends for A/W 2019

After August and the summer vacations, everything gets back to ‘normal’ and September seems to be the ideal month for window shopping and inspiration for our winter looks. Below you will find some of our favourite fashion trends for this autumn/winter season for inspiration and ideas for your new autumn look.

Leopard Coats

Animal print is getting bigger and bigger in menswear fashion. Designers continue to honour the trend with the AW19 collections full of animal print coats in many different colours and lengths.

Cargo Trousers

Cropped or oversized with big pockets on the side - that’s the latest design obsession on trousers as we see the traditional cargo trousers to take the lead on the runway in so many different earth colours..

The Army look

Khacki and army patterns come to conclude the ‘safari’ inspiration for this winter. You will find the army look in different pieaces and styles; dare to mix and match.


FACES

That’s definetely a womenswear trend which was always on top ( we love Christopher Kane’s looks for AW2016). Even though this year we noticed so many designers that promote the trend on men’s clothes and we actually like the new proposal. Pop-Art patterns are our favourites.

Puffer Jackets

Always classic but with the ‘safari’ or the 3D aesthetic, the puffer jackets come to conclude our wardrobe essentials for this season.

50 shades of Grey

Grey is the most popular colour of the season with the tailoring combinations to be on the top of the list. Masculine, modern, minimal and always tailored.

Raf Simons x Eastpak: The FW19 collection

This latest chapter between Raf Simons and Eastpak takes their long-standing relationship to a new level, while at the same time returning to its source: Eastpak’s iconic designs infused with the Belgian designer’s own unique vision.

Four trend-setting styles set the scene for this collaborative collection. Featuring highend materials and distinctive details such as tonal or silver metal gate rings. A mixture of bold colors and rich textures that adds an extra aesthetic dimension for true functional sophistication.

The collection is available is out now.



Alpha Industries x Eastpak: The FW19 collaboration

A common military heritage, a shared vision on functionality and the same uncompromising attitude to quality. These are the things that make Alpha Industries and Eastpak natural partners in this landmark collaborative collection. These two legendary U.S. brands started out manufacturing equipment for the U.S. armed forces back in the 1950s, and then respectively transitioned into the consumer market in the 1970s. Now, both brands have joined forces to bring the military look to the street.

Inspired by the now world-famous MA-1 flight jacket – as worn by pilots and crew of the U.S. Air Force and Navy – each item in this exclusive collection fuses Alpha Industries’ iconic military designs with Eastpak’s renowned functionality. A fitting tribute to a shared legacy that runs deep.

The collection will be available from the 1st of August 2019.

MSGM: TheSS20 show at Pitti Uomo

MSGM has revealed its 10th anniversary collection in Florence, during Pitti Uomo.

Camp collar shirts in lobster, poppy, or bandana paisley prints were mashed against pants and track jackets in lividly clashing two-tone leopard print. Sebago boat shoes and linen blousons and shorts featured naive graphics and heartfelt scrawled messages of summer love. A collaboration with the painter Norbert Bisky produced an attractive fractured portrait used as prints on shirting, shorts, and perforated nylon vests or in panels on the tailoring.
