Tackling the daily struggles of life head-on therefore became the main theme of Vibskov’s spring/summer 2025 collection, unveiled at Milan Men’s Fashion Week last June and restaged in Copenhagen in August.

The unique museum show titled “Source of Strength” took inspiration from the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature.

Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, LeBron James and Zendaya were among the many stars lined up along the Pont Neuf in central Paris, which had a golden carpet rolled along its entire length.

Brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, Simon Cracker and luxury leather accessories maker MCM presented their latest collections, and while some emphasised quiet luxury, others went full-blown Romantic. Meanwhile, Prada deserves a mention simply for its original design of the showroom. The architecture shifts with every season, but never so fluidly as for spring/summer... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3224714/5-must-see-brands-milan-mens-fashion-week-2023-prada-exploring-fluidity-and-king-charles-ascension?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3224714/5-must-see-brands-milan-mens-fashion-week-2023-prada-exploring-fluidity-and-king-charles-ascension?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 20 Jun 2023 06:33:02 +0000 Kenzo artistic director Nigo found a groove with his second collection for the LVMH-owned house, drawing vibrant parallels with house founder Kenzo Takada. Nigo has made history as the first Japanese designer to front the house since Takada, who died in 2020.

A giant font filled with milky-white water and frothing mist in the courtyard of the École Militaire served as a fluid runway where models, often bare-chested and in waterproof footwear, stomped and splashed toward a blinding set light. Matthew M. Williams clearly wanted to make a splash in his first stand-alone menswear show since being appointed in 2020.

The collection was imbued by lightness, in shape and in materials. Forms were essential, borderline minimalist, ranging from sports suits with trousers or Bermuda shorts to tunics with inventive twists or intarsia knitwear recalling impressionist landscapes.... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182756/milan-mens-fashion-week-zegna-flaunted-light-minimalist?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182756/milan-mens-fashion-week-zegna-flaunted-light-minimalist?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 23 Jun 2022 08:00:09 +0000 For June 20, the fourth and final day of Milan Fashion Week menswear previews for next spring and summer, designers seemed to have understood the assignment. Looks appeared more weather appropriate than on the weekend, as soaring temperatures provided a reminder that warm-weather dressing can mean covered, but in a relaxed way that accommodates elegance and playfulness. Against the onslaught of streetwear and dressing down, Giorgio Armani is defending elegance in all seasons. The 87-year-old... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182741/milan-mens-fashion-week-giorgio-armani-mixed-elegance-touch?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182741/milan-mens-fashion-week-giorgio-armani-mixed-elegance-touch?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 23 Jun 2022 03:37:18 +0000 Denim, fringe and chunky rubber sliders. These are the elements of next year’s summer wardrobe emerging from June 18, the second day of Milan Fashion Week’s menswear previews. Temperatures in Milan were unusually high and the fashion crowd scooted from show to show with the thermometer topping 34 degrees Celsius and forecast to keep getting hotter in the coming days. That makes linen an easy sell, but less so for the leather and even fur making appearances on Milan’s spring-summer 2023... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182653/milan-mens-fashion-week-fendi-presented-denim-fringe-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182653/milan-mens-fashion-week-fendi-presented-denim-fringe-and?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 22 Jun 2022 08:55:22 +0000 The Miuccia Prada-Raf Simons collaboration at Prada has been a proven success, generating recognisable pieces that grab attention and brand recognition from a distance. That is quite a feat for co-creators who joined forces just as the pandemic put the globe on lockdown, and which hasn’t quite loosened its grip. The silhouette for next spring and summer is studied and refined, another easy read. It started with lapel-less suits with hidden buttons, tapered skinny trousers down to pointy boots.... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182464/milan-mens-fashion-week-prada-blended-grunge-nostalgia?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3182464/milan-mens-fashion-week-prada-blended-grunge-nostalgia?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 21 Jun 2022 04:15:43 +0000 Milan designers continued their exploration of the shifting roles and representations of men in changing times. The design language during Milan Fashion Week veered from androgyny to genderless to hybrid – but always against a backdrop of unmistakable masculinity, just enough elements to turn the feminine heat up or down. The overall trend was toward more formality, but that can be broadly defined and not just as suits. In fact, business suits with ties were few and far between on Milan runways,... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3046045/milan-fashion-week-what-were-golden-globe-winning?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3046045/milan-fashion-week-what-were-golden-globe-winning?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 14 Jan 2020 10:15:13 +0000 “Democratic” is a word that so often peppers discussions of New York Fashion Week – an event so inclusive it has featured as many as 600 presentations in a single season – you could be forgiven for thinking the right to stage a fashion event in the city was enshrined somewhere in the American constitution. For years people have complained the schedule is too long and disorganised and that New York Fashion Week’s “all-in” ethos undermines its credibility, compared with the far more exclusive... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3025521/can-new-sheriff-tom-ford-bring-new-york-fashion-week-2019?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3025521/can-new-sheriff-tom-ford-bring-new-york-fashion-week-2019?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 04 Sep 2019 17:00:08 +0000 Event: Versace spring/summer 2020 Men’s Show Where: Via Gesu, Milan I wanted to explore the elements that empower a man.

Los Angeles-based artist Ruby, who has been applauded for his examination of the intersection of personal expression and societal rigidity, is perhaps best known for his collaborations with designer Raf Simons at Christian Dior and Calvin Klein. Taking a cue from Simons and the denim uniforms he once sewed for the staff at his studio, Ruby has launching his own fashion... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/3016371/fashion-designer-sterling-ruby-steps-spotlight-his?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/3016371/fashion-designer-sterling-ruby-steps-spotlight-his?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 29 Jun 2019 04:00:12 +0000 The curtain came down on Paris Fashion Week on Sunday with two high-concept shows that had walk-on roles for American singer-songwriter Solange and K-pop star Lisa of girl group BLACKPINK. Kenzo’s design duo, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, said adieu to the French label with Solange – the younger sister of superstar performer, Beyoncé – as the surprise performer in the same Paris stadium where English veteran singer Elton John had performed to a sell-out crowd a few nights before.

However, the vibrant collection didn’t need VIPs to promote its message, a colour-rich ode to world culture. Designer Virgil Abloh, meanwhile, sent spring wafting into the air on Wednesday with the offering for his Off-White brand, which attracted renewed interest after the... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/3015560/paris-fashion-week-rihannas-fenty-goes-online-while?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/3015560/paris-fashion-week-rihannas-fenty-goes-online-while?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 21 Jun 2019 16:00:16 +0000 The French capital, in all its splendour and architectural beauty, was the star of fashion week in Paris on Thursday as houses put on elaborate outdoor displays in some of the city’s most iconic squares.

Infinite motion from one extreme to the other is a simple way for brands to get your attention. From London, to Paris, via Milan, most used a form of self-hypnosis during their spring 2019 menswear collections – and in more than 200 fashion shows, it was impossible to find a clear pattern for a distinct print or colour that stands out. The presentations threw up florals, bright neon, snakeskin prints, soft palettes, vintage denim, striking... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2188493/runway-streets-heres-how-rock-latest-menswear-trends?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/2188493/runway-streets-heres-how-rock-latest-menswear-trends?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 05 Mar 2019 02:00:23 +0000 Paris Fashion Week has become the most important capital for the menswear industry.

While established figures Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake and new stars Sacai, Undercover, Junya Watanabe were among more than 12 Japanese designers and contemporary South Korean brands, Juun J and Wooyoungmi, a new generation of Chinese designers has grasped the initiative.

Here are some highlights of the day’s fall/winter 2019-2020 menswear shows in Paris.

British-born designer Kim Jones, creative director of Dior Homme, drew inspiration from the French capital’s heroic statuary to suggest that there was no better armour for the modern man than well-cut clothes. For me the suit and the tailored jacket are the key things which say Dior.

Having set Instagram alight by sending out Michael Jackson-style sparkly white gloves as invitations for his Louis Vuitton show, the American designer took his scissors to the business suit in his own Off-White label show.

The designer – the first African American ever to lead a major Paris label – did not make a direct comparison between himself and the “King of Pop”.

At the brand’s menswear show in Milan on Saturday evening, the designer showed a heady mash-up of textures, prints and palettes to the soundtrack of Supermodel (You Better Work) by drag queen RuPaul – highlighting that in 2019, men have more freedom than ever to express themselves through fashion.
