As men – and women – around the globe grapple with the idea of what does, in fact, “make” a man, Italian menswear designer Ermenegildo Zegna is stepping into the fray by questioning the concept of masculinity itself with its new brand campaign, #WhatMakesAMan, which emphasises the inherent... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3027692/style-edit-nicholas-tse-ting-fung-and-mahershala-ali-suit?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3027692/style-edit-nicholas-tse-ting-fung-and-mahershala-ali-suit?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 18 Sep 2019 01:00:15 +0000 “Gucci Grey” is creative director Alessandro Michele’s key colour of the season, with the hope that these grey tones will add a timeless quality to one’s wardrobe.

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.

It is immediately obvious, however, when you touch and feel – and actually wear – a garment. Though not necessarily perceptible at first glance, the engineering and artistry that go into creating a single zip can make the high prices of designer clothing far more understandable. In recent years, those small details and closures have become a place for menswear brands to create innovative... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/3011714/louis-vuitton-and-white-show-how-streetwear-drives?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion-beauty/article/3011714/louis-vuitton-and-white-show-how-streetwear-drives?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 25 May 2019 08:00:13 +0000 Spring is here in full force, and our male muses are looking impossibly dapper as they welcome the wet season.

For the consumer, it feels extremely soft.  The smaller the fibre, the softer the wool. Superfine Merino wool can sometimes have a diameter of 17 microns. For wool to be considered “very fine”, it must have fibres smaller than 24 microns. Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri expresses her love of dance with costumes for ballet show ‘Nuit Blanche’  Ermenegildo Zegna was the first company to support... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/article/3008958/style-edit-ermenegildo-zegnas-wool-awards-we-reveal-years-winners?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/article/3008958/style-edit-ermenegildo-zegnas-wool-awards-we-reveal-years-winners?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 07 May 2019 01:00:12 +0000 The philanthropic activities of the Zegna family are as praiseworthy as their fashion collections. The Zegna family – and the Italian luxury fashion house under its name – have preserved the Zegna legacy for over four generations in high fashion and social consciousness. This goes back to founder Ermenegildo Zegna’s symbiotic code of “ethics, business and aesthetics”.

Tired, poorly tailored suits are more detrimental to your sense of style than wearing a Gap T-shirt and jeans combo, as they show that you’re trying – but simply not doing it right. Who is Quan Yingmei, the first Chinese female tailor to make history on Savile Row? It’s tricky, we know.

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.

Now you can have it. When Lamborghini revealed plans to make a super SUV – the Urus (the ancestor of modern domestic cattle) – in 2012, jaws dropped. Well, the SUV with its 650hp and 850Nm of torque, and that takes 3.6 seconds to go from 0-100km/h, is right before our eyes.
