TECH WARRIOR

U R B A N

ADVENTURER

Establishing a

connection between

function, form and

style, the new

season integrates

technical textiles

with street-worthy

separates. At Dolce

& Gabbana,

Balenciaga and

Lanvin it was

artificial, weather-

proof outerwear,

while Hermès,

Off-White and Palm

Angels showcased

airy puffed pieces in

metallic sheer

shades set to rival

the guise of NASA’s

space voyager.

Perfect if you’re

planning a trip to

other galaxies.

Luxury runways

have never been

so urban as the

utilitarian jacket

walked for the likes

of Ermenegildo

Zegna and Paul

Smith. The daring

types need not

sacrifice style, with

the practicality

of the piece

contrasted in rich

fabrics and boxy

shapes with

signature pockets

for your adventure

essentials, and more.

Wear your waistline

tight, your lapel wide

and keep a funky

disposition while you

get down to business

in the new summer

suit. Louis Vuitton

paired wide cuts with

bold prints, Fendi

and Lanvin used an

earthy tonal palette,

and Salvatore

Ferragamo kept it

classic with crisp

whites and sharp

collars fit to rival

Travolta’s Saturday

Night get up.

WHITE OUT

An elementary

breeze was

blowing on the

streets of London

as the civil men

of fashion week

kept it simple

and protested the

rainbow. Subtle

separates flew

under the radar

but standout

accessories and

sleek eyewear

kept these men

noteworthy.

STRIKE LANE

Strike out with

the resurgence of

the bowling shirt,

fit for so much

more than just

the lanes. Wear

buttoned with

chinos and a

fresh pair of kicks

to take you from

desk to dinner, or

go loose and

layered over your

favourite tee and

jeans combo for

weekend ease.

SIN CITY

If the shirt

is somewhat

offensive, you’re

on the right track

as the city of

lights shone

brightly on the

Parisian man’s

love for a sinful

print. Pair with

a heavy-duty

belt, grow out

that moustache

and hot tail it

straight to

sin city.

LOGOMANIA

A trend direct

from the runway,

local Parisians

aren’t shy to wear

their heart on

their sleeves -

literally. Be it

monogram

shirting, or bold

slogans, the

luxury houses

can turn you

into a talking

advert. Creative

or simply genius

marketing? You

be the judge.
