“CFDA menswear designer of the year, Shayne Oliver has been expanding the conversation on fashion since he stepped on the scene. This season he brought ‘babycore’ to the runway with soother accessories and hairclips.”—Ronald Burton
“Sebastien Meunier continues to evolve his vision for Ann Demeulemeester. With a new turn for the house, he maintained the same emotion infused into the collection.”—Ronald Burton
“Rousteing debuts his first menswear show, and indeed it is about the #BalmainArmy. With a milarty touch througout the collection, there was also a soft touch. Sandals that resembled combat boots, intricately detailed jackets—which Balmain has always been known for—and relaxed trousers were the stand-out pieces.”—Ronald Burton
“The latest collection offered a brilliant combination of the 80s and everyone’s current obsession with athletic wear. Key sporty elements such as windbreaker jackets, shorter than short, shorts, striped tanks, and high-waist track pants were shown in a variety of attention grabbing colors, so that in even your most casual attire, you still have that cool factor.”—Ronald Burton III
“Timeless classics are which the house was founded on. And designer Veronique Nichanian honored this tradition, but infused a bit of cool with prints across trousers and bomber jackets.”—Ronald Burton
“Incredibly clean cut mixture of sportswear and work wear. The jackets have utilitarian traits, while the pants sit high and relaxed in fit. In more expected sportswear offerings there were patterned three-piece suits, and all outerwear though seemingly minimal were cut to perfection.”—Ronald Burton
“The latest collection offers up an eclectic mix of the most stylish musical identities. Strong silhouettes included flared trousers, boxy sports jackets, extremely fitted suiting and bold pops of color that in one combination reveals a very well dressed man.”—Ronald Burton
“Referencing the past, present, and future, there was a sense of nostalgia to Raf’s latest collection. Cropped boyish knits, hand painted coats, loose fitting proportions, and chained rucksacks all feel a bit vintage, but in the most seemingly modern way.”—Ronald Burton
“Hedi continues to praise California culture in his latest collection. What may look like thrift or second hand pieces to some, are carefully crafted pieces in some of the most luxurious fabrics that still work within this West Coast cool musician.”—Ronald Burton
“Less isn’t more when looking at Walter van Beirendonck’s latest collection. The loud prints, extremely oversized trousers, and subtle hints of latex made into t shirt layers make this collection a visual masterpiece.”—Ronald Burton
