SUAVE SUEDES
It’s about easy
silhouettes, sensible
shoes and jumper
vests as we see
a resurgence of
old-man style. With
Fendi and Hermès
at the forefront of
this particular form
of comfort dressing
- we’re talking
layered knitwear,
rubber soles and
high pants – it affirms
the revolutionary
concept that style
need not be
sacrificed for
comfort. So go
practice what’s
being preached.

LONG LIVE
THE LOGO
SENIOR SARTORIAL
Branding is back and
bigger than ever, as
heavy hitting fashion
houses have revived
their status of the
’90s. Emulated by
Versace, Dior and
Valentino, the
unexpected came
from Christopher
Bailey, who has
finally embraced the
street association
with Burberry by
joining forces with
normcore man of the
moment, Gosha
Rubchinskiy, to
present a signature
plaid-heavy
collection.
PALM A NGELS
MILAN, ITALY
A huge construction tractor
and pile of soil were

SEYMOUR LEISURE
CENTRE, LONDON

OFF-WHITE
EMPTY SPACE GALLERY,
PARIS
A gallery re-see in Paris with
original show in Pitti.
Chalky shades
of buttery suede
reigned supreme
across the runways
as winter’s favourite
fabric finally
translates to
a warmer climate.
Stick to pastel tones
and pair with
tailored separates
to wholly absorb
the trend. Else, keep
it really easy
and breezy
with a sky-blue
monochromatic
Tom Ford look,
asserting a carefree
approach to an
otherwise delicate
textile.
