Since the beginning of men’s collections back in 2005, they had been shown in Milan, and then in London for a few seasons. Since then, the menswear collection has been absent from the catwalk, favouring instead presentations and sophisticated lookbooks. This year, for the first time, Sarah Burton showcased her Alexander McQueen spring/summer 2018 collection in a runway format for... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2100113/sarah-burton-opens-new-chapter-alexander-mcqueen?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2100113/sarah-burton-opens-new-chapter-alexander-mcqueen?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 27 Jun 2017 04:11:47 +0000 In the 1970s, Marc Bohan created the first Dior menswear collection, “Christian Dior Monsieur”. Then in 2001, Hedi Slimane introduced Dior Homme’s characteristic slim silhouette, which has since transformed the menswear industry. And since 2008, Kris Van Assche has been developing his own aesthetic, season after season. His autumn/winter 2017 collection, called “HarDior”, featured suits tailored for the rave culture. On day four of men’s fashion week, Van Assche revealed Dior Homme spring/summer... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099989/kris-van-assche-gives-tailoring-sportswear-twist-dior?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099989/kris-van-assche-gives-tailoring-sportswear-twist-dior?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 26 Jun 2017 06:15:30 +0000 Hermès’ menswear collections invariably have clean lines, luxurious fabrics and timeless statement pieces. They are a tribute to artistic director Véronique Nichanian, who was recruited in 1988 by former chairman Jean-Louis Dumas, and the French designer has built a style of great refinement in that time. Hermès showcased its spring/summer 2018 collection at le Cloître des Cordeliers, a 14th century abbey, which has been converted into a cultural centre. This season, Hermès has embraced leisure... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099983/artistic-director-veronique-nichanian-ensures-hermes?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099983/artistic-director-veronique-nichanian-ensures-hermes?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 26 Jun 2017 05:51:46 +0000 Times are changing at Louis Vuitton. Today, Kim Jones, Vuitton’s longtime menswear designer, proved that the French luxury and heritage brand is living in the now. The brand’s style shift that caters towards a younger, sportswear orientated clientele was already marked by its surprising collaboration with the New York-based high-street skater label Supreme for fall-winter 2017 season. And this time around for Spring Summer 2018 on the Paris runways, this shift is emphasised by a collection of... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-luxury/article/2099777/louis-vuittons-youthful-pursuit-7-looks?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-luxury/article/2099777/louis-vuittons-youthful-pursuit-7-looks?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 23 Jun 2017 15:30:00 +0000 The most famous designer of the Antwerp Six, Dries Van Noten has become one of the staples of Paris menswear fashion week. Year after year, season after season, Dries Van Noten is one of the very few designers that brings sharp garments, carefully selected fabrics, interesting prints and great details mixed in a smart collection that never disappoints. In his 25-year-long career, his menswear show for autumn/winter 2017 at Palais Garnier opera house was a monumental moment.

The first collaboration was with legendary skateboard brand from New-York, Supreme, which became an internet sensation immediately. The second collaboration was with Japanese label Fragment Design of streetwear pioneer Hiroshi Fujiwara, which was more discreet.

Last season, for his first solo menswear collection, the Italian designer teamed up with the English artist Jamie Reid to create a range of patchwork poetically punk quotes such as “Claim your heritage” or “Beauty is your birthright.” Piccioli’s overall silhouette was mainly coats and baseball... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099466/valentinos-ss18-menswear-collection-focuses?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099466/valentinos-ss18-menswear-collection-focuses?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 22 Jun 2017 04:00:15 +0000 Paris men’s fashion week kicks off Wednesday with its reigning enfant terrible Demna Gvasalia again cocking a snook at convention by staging a “no-show”. The brains behind the ultra hip Vetements label -- whose voluminous hoodies and re-cut Levi jeans sell almost as fast as spinners -- said he was bored with tired old catwalk traditions. “I got bored... fashion shows are not the best tool,” he told Vogue earlier this month. “We did the show in the sex club, the (Chinese) restaurant, the... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099281/paris-mens-fashion-week-begins-vetements-no-show?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2099281/paris-mens-fashion-week-begins-vetements-no-show?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 21 Jun 2017 02:45:00 +0000
