…and here it is: New Era for Louis Vuitton Men with the tailoring trend leading the runway:



FW2020-21: Best of London Fashion Week Men's

2020 found us in London waiting for Men’s Fashion Week. This season was all about the new talents as many of the big names are not showing in the English fashion capital anymore. Our stylist & editor Martina Ghia was out and around and she has put down all you need about it.

Fall Winter 2020-21 seems to be a new era on men’s fashion with a lot of 90s elements, deconstructed denim and total denim looks, wide trousers, oversized coats and of course the new tailoring - a complete new generation on the classic tailoring, showing the elegance of the trend with a twist.

Below you’ll find the best of looks from some of our favourite shows:

Givenchy Pre-Fall 2020: The Lookbook Presentation

For the Givenchy Pre-Fall 2020 collection, Artistic Director Clare Waight Keller took cues from Antiquity and transposed them to modern wardrobes designed for movement.

As lensed by photographer Sam Rock, contrasts of air and sea in an urban waterfront evoke the ebb and flow of history, nodding to the timelessness of mythology and the universal need to reconnect with nature.

JW Anderson x Uniqlo: Their new collection is OUT NOW

For this fourth consecutive collaboration, JW Anderson continues to infuse his purely British DNA with the Japanese titan of the outerwear Uniqlo.

If, last season, the "cool-kid" of fashion across the Channel unveiled a summer wardrobe with Uniqlo where comfort remained spearhead, JW Anderson continues to give pride to England inspired by Saint Ives, a coastal city located in Cornwall County in the west of the country.

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.

The colour pallete was mainly burgundy with cream and sand tones and…. the 50 shades of blue.

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.

LOEWE FW19 by Tyler Mitchell

To showcase Jonathan Anderson’s Menswear Fall/Winter 2019, LOEWE has collaborated with Tyler Mitchell, the rising talent best known for shooting Beyoncé for the September 2018 cover of US Vogue.

Taking the playful masculinity that has characterized the brand’s evolving Men’s collections to a new level, Benjamin Bruno styled a group of young models for the latest hardcover look book. The collection, which had its runway debut in Paris last January, used the historic locations of Piedra del Rey Moro and Museo de Santa Cruz in the Spanish city of Toledo as its picturesque backdrop.

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.
