Fendi just presented their AW24 menswear collection at Milan Fashion Week. It is an interesting combination serving a balancing act of the great outdoors and city swagger. While the collection itself wasn't ground-breaking per say, it posed a beautiful tapestry juxtaposing textures on textures in a Fendi fashion, albeit the earthy, muted colours. Accessories form a big part of any fashion show, and in this one we see the camera focusing on a Fendi x DEVIALET Mania portable speaker, dressed in Fendi's famous FF monogram and promising "outstanding audio purity".

Sabato de Sarno just presented his first menswear collection for Gucci. Replacing Alessandro Michelle exactly a year ago, the designer is tasked with transforming the brand and tackling the ultra rich. From the get-go we can see a transformation from the flashy, over-the-top, maximalist approach of Michelle, to this more commercial and tailored look, which makes sense, since it will appeal to a wider audience. This was followed by a look in 3 colours, of a double-breasted blazer with a signature draping on the sleeves and the mid-blazer area, which creates an interesting silhouette. The next two outfits comprised of floor length coats, one was normal, the other was sleeveless, long to the waist ties, and interesting take on the Gucci loafers, one of them was even studded.

Yesterday Prada released their ad campaign for Spring/Summer 2024 with a selection of over 40 portraits showcasing individuality and taking inspiration from cinematography. This wouldn't be a fashion campaign without a few familiar names featured across the ad - HARRIS DICKINSON, KELVIN HARRISON JR. , TROYE SIVAN. The press release stated - In an era dominated by contrived narratives and curated lifestyles, the Prada Spring/Summer 2024 campaign emerges as a reaffirmation of timeless values. It signals a return to the essence of fashion – clothing woven into the fabric of life, encapsulated in the living procession of the fashion show. This campaign extends the narrative of that fleeting runway moment, transforming it into a season-long exploration. Leveraging Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons' September runway presentation as a catalyst, the campaign delves into the ecosystem of the fashion show, a complex tapestry that simultaneously expresses individuality and community, the ephemeral and the everlasting. The medium itself becomes the message, part of an ongoing quest to answer fundamental questions about the role of fashion in our daily lives. Renowned photographer Willy Vanderperre captures a sequence of honest and pure portraits, delicately poised between spontaneous intimacy and elegant formalism. These portraits, featuring all 40 models from the show – a mix of familiar faces and new talents, focus on each woman individually. Prada emphasizes the significance of each model, highlighting her presence and agency through singular portraits that address ever-evolving notions of femininity. These images amplify a dichotomy between the singular and the collective, portraying both individuality and a connection to a broader narrative. They mirror the procession of the fashion show itself while engaging in a broader conversation about fashion as both a symbol of belonging and a reflection of personality. Prada serves as a reminder that the fashion profession is a collective endeavor. Likewise, cinema embodies both collective collaboration and individual expression, with actors valued for their unique abilities. Continuing the tradition of Hollywood actors embodying the Prada man, the campaign features three internationally acclaimed actors and creatives: Harris Dickinson, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Troye Sivan. Celebrating their personal characters, the campaign showcases these individuals as protagonists of their own narratives, framed alongside each other to highlight the intersection of their distinctive personas. HARRIS DICKINSON Commencing his career with Eliza Hitman’s acclaimed Sundance film Beach Rats (2017), British actor Harris Dickinson received nominations for the Independent Spirit Award in the categories of ‘Best Male Lead’ and ‘Breakthrough Actor’ at The Gotham Awards. His diverse filmography includes notable works such as County Lines (2021), The King's Man (2021), The Souvenir: Part II (2021), and the Palme D’or winning and Academy Award-nominated film Triangle of Sadness (2022). Presently, he graces the screen in the FX miniseries A Murder at the End of the World (2023) and stars in Sean Dirkin's latest film, The Iron Claw (2023). In 2022, Harris received a BAFTA Rising Star award nomination. KELVIN HARRISON JR. Embarking on his acting journey in 2013, American actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. gained recognition with his role as Travis in A24’s 2017 horror film It Comes at Night. He continued to make waves with lead roles in Luce and Waves (2019), and the 2023 film Chevalier. Upcoming projects include portraying Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Genius: MLK/X and taking on the role of Scar in Disney’s live-action Lion King prequel Mufasa, both scheduled for release in 2024. Kelvin has been honored with a Screen Actors Guild Award and received nominations for a British Academy Film Award, Gotham Award, and Independent Spirit Award. TROYE SIVAN Grammy-nominated Australian singer-songwriter and actor Troye Sivan achieved global acclaim with his third album, Something to Give Each Other, named one of the Best Albums of 2023 by over thirty esteemed media outlets. Sivan's acting career kicked off with the portrayal of the younger Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and the lead role in the Spud film trilogy (2010–2014). His filmography also includes Three Months (2022), the MAX series The Idol (2023), and Boy Erased (2019), where he not only acted but also wrote and performed an original song nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

It’s now been a year since Adidas ended their partnership with Kanye West, also known as Ye. A nearly decade long collaboration which helped the brand get back on the fashion stage was marked with consistent growth, and they took their decision to end this deal very seriously; in fact, many of us thought they would never commit to it because of how quiet they kept while Kanye West spurred antisemitism online. Now the infamous character - Ye; is back with another - to - be - controversial - move, naming Gosha Rubchinskiy, a Russian designer from 2015s, head of design at Yeezy. In case any of our readers have forgotten, a few years ago Rubchinskiy made headlines across the globe with multiple minors coming forward to report suspicious behavior, where the designer himself was asking them for nudes. He later tried to defend his actions by saying that his brand used Instagram to hire models for their shows since they preferred the street male look and they wanted more natural people rather than runway models, but amongst the screenshotted DMs, you could see the models stating their age, only for the designer to disregard and continue requesting for naked photos of them. The news quickly caught fire, and the Gosha Rubchinskiy brand died literally overnight. Playing devils advocate, using the information that we have, we could support either side - on one side, Russia’s age of consent is 16 so practically it is perfectly legal, although morally messed up; but on the other hand, the designer did specifically ask if parents were around, and asking one of the minors to go to the bathroom, so he is alone. Which is severely messed up. Some Ye supporters are now trying to defend Gosha, by stating the legal age along with how designers should be given a second chance. From my point of view, and from fashion history, giving designers a second chance never ends in a different result, due to ego, selfishness and politics within the industry.

Hollywood - a utopian world plastered in advertisements and picture perfect models following their dreams of becoming the next big thing. Strap in for a nearly 20-minute-long runway show which comes with a mind-blowing concept but poor execution of clothes we’ve already seen before. A love letter to LA, referencing pop culture, with the iconic palm trees surrounding the catwalk - a well manicured stretch of Windsor Boulevard with the famous Hollywood sign in the distance; is the perfect destination for such gesture. Commencing with activewear, the collection introduces essentials like shorts, bra tops, leggings, and sweatshirts. A subsequent jersey section pays homage to the velour tracksuit trend of the aughts, featuring low-slung trousers, cropped hooded jackets, and knee-high Alaska boots. The narrative takes a neo-grunge turn with oversized, layered garments, including cut-up asymmetric trousers, hand-embroidered leopard-motif coats, outdoor hotel slippers, and nylon-lined leather bags. Upscaled daywear, marked by outsize proportions and precise tailoring, strikes a balance between informality and glamor. Noteworthy pieces include hooded jackets with integrated scarves for paparazzi deterrence. Eveningwear concludes the showcase, showcasing highly defined shapes and silhouettes that blend past and present Balenciaga designs. Angular, plush wrapped coat-dresses and softer, tailored one-shoulder gowns are highlighted. The show concludes with a monumental white gown in heavy satin, featuring a structured face shield for an incognito effect. Accessories abound, including the croc-embossed Rodeo bag, paying homage to Balenciaga's L.A. flagships. Essential carriers like the knitted 24/7 tote and Monaco tote accompany evolved eyewear shapes and the 10XL Sneaker, known for its exaggerated proportions and exclusive colourways.
