Hed Mayner, the designer from Tel Aviv who keeps on charming the Parisian crowd for a couple of seasons now, loves a big, big silhouette. He is known for blowing up conventional, “normal” clothes to capacious, XXXL volumes, creating garments that are both timeless and absolutely poetic. Those that fall under the roomy category for spring-summer 2024 are the beautifully tailored suits, eternal chinos, (crinkled) cotton poplin shirts and minimal jumpers. Mayner chooses to see the beauty of normalcy and simplicity by giving it a dramatic makeover. The way that the pieces fall on and fit the body, and how these garments with vintage-y soul have characters of their own, is a combination of Mayner’s well-considered design and Samuel Drira’s masterful styling.
