Men Fashion
Men’s: What’s Hot (11.5.14)
There is a new change coming to Design & Culture by Ed… from now on, every Sunday we will have a What’s Hot dedicated to men! The selection will be surely full of Public School, Adieu, Saint Laurent, Rag & Bone… and many more! So, here is the first one!
Men’s: Skinny. Saint Laurent AW14
Who could end men’s fashion month in such unique style? Only Hedi Slimane, that leads Saint Laurent to total grunge destruction. The AW14 collection is very… hard. Some pieces are very cool, and some more affordable for a rockstar! Take the green sequin suit; or the leopard printed bomber jacket. Or even these creepers ‘on fire. Hedi knows what he wants and moves into his direction- the rock’n’roll era, that inspires him so much. If my size would be XS and I would have such skinny legs as the models here, then I would definitely love everything. But while I am certainly not, then I don’t really feel the mood of the collection. However, from the crowd of elegant suites and coats, Slimane really catches my eye from the whole fashion week from Paris… See you for Haute Couture SS14!
Men’s: Beast. Thom Browne AW14
Thom Browne, the enfant terrible of New York have just presented his AW14 collection for men in Paris. In the grey forest full of wild animals, we met the man vs. beast fight- models wore highly tailored suits in abstract forms with bunny, elephant or deer masks, looking like creatures from fairy-tales. The collection was kept in misty grey colour, with lots of embroideries on jackets and trousers. The suites had some mis-proportions in them- too huge sleeves, to filled trousers… Nothing was normal. Not only Thom entertained us with all these illusions and tricks, but also took us to another dimension of tailorship, that he is so good in.
Men’s: Paris Chic. AMI AW14
AMI is the moment’s hottest label coming from Paris- it’s aim is to bring cool Parisian chic back to men’s wardrobe. As it’s their first runway collection (the venue was a snowy park), it was really buzzy. And not only because of the guest model, Caroline de Maigret, who wore a tuxedo in super chic way. The collection itself was fantastic, full of vibrant red colour and comfortable pieces that every men ought to have. My favourite- the totally camel look. This is a perfection.
