There were hints of English suede heads of the Seventies in the larger flare pants and three-quarter lengths worn with boots. Juxtaposed with Moujik pants, caftans and Tibetan coats taken from Tolstoy’s descriptions of humble folks, it was a trademark of Lemaire’s season of zen-meets-workwear.
Amid the clinical crispness, bubblegum pink sweaters, muted overdyed paisleys or marbled swirls — the work of French endpaper artist Atelier La Folie — felt like a thunderclap on a clear day.
Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran have developed a glossary of classic Parisian understatedness in their work — think Yves Saint Laurent, the man and the ultrachic male Parisian. In their hands, an overcoat piled atop a jacket and several other elements do not add much bulk, making their layers more nuance than cold weather strategy. Yet the standouts were undoubtedly those silhouettes in which the volume play was marked: a sheepskin flight jacket, worn with elasticated paisley pants; oversize chimney collars and flowing pants, and a generously proportioned marbled hooded raincoat.
What are you wearing during the fashionweeks? Your Gucci-shoes, that Balenciaga-shirt or your latest Vetements-denim? Maybe we’ll spot you in Paris, Milan, New York or Amsterdam.

From Diesel Black Gold’s native American inspired story to Dolce & Gabbana’s millennial filled show entitled King’s Angels. From Francesco Risso’s vibrant, colorful and contrast (in texture, in proportion) filled Marni collection to Miuccia Prada’s fall collection full of references from the Prada past (hello Nylon, hello banana print). And from preppy Versace looks to the bondage attires at Moschino. Milan Menswear Fashion Week was both exuberating and surprising. And just so you can wrap your head around all the new styles or even fully prep your wardrobe in time we’ve selected five of the biggest trends straight from the Milano catwalk. Looks to sport next winter or even try out right now, while winter’s still here.
Our own fashiondictionary Kirking It is a verb, as in: you are kirking! It means to fall asleep while eating dinner with colleagues, while gently rolling ones upper body in a semicircle while wanting to go to sleep, eyes flipping inward uncontrollably. It happens because of jetlag and is age related. There is no cure yet.
