When it comes to male brands and male fashion, there is
something so specific about it; we all get immensely excited whenever there’s a
new collection on stock and we are ready to do anything to have it. Sure,
fashion does have that effect on people where everyone goes ballistic if they
don’t manage to get that one piece they were eyeing, but when it comes to male
fashion – despite all the craze, there is a particular dignity about it, even
when you are fighting over a particular outfit with your best friend.
Our favorite brands this season range from super sleek and
chic designs to edgy and amazing streetwear; already known and trending names
are getting competition from the upcoming fashions artists but we’re finding it
in our heart (and wardrobe) enough space for all of them.
Here begins the countdown…
J W Anderson
The Samurai fashion
has been trending for some time now and we’ve been seeing it in male
hairstyles, predominantly. Now, we’ve got the opportunity to see it in clothes,
too. J W Anderson made sure the
samurai vibe is dominant, however with the roughness that was toned down with
waist-bands that ran throughout.
Leather jackets were
paired with multi-pleated pants, and strange talismans were worn around as
accessorize. Are we sensing a new trend?
The entire brand is
based on the idea of nirvana cool look this season.
Alexander Wang
Deviant, raw and
rough were the cornerstones of this collection. The sportswear, as well as the
luxed-up work-wear was aimed at the bad boys,
which certainly seems like something we’ll be obsessing with all throughout
2016. For men who enjoy the lack of color, the moleskin-like fabrics in dull,
dusty hues are present in the entire collection.
Mission Mercantile
Leather, leather, leather! Mission Mercantile is a brand with the longest tradition in
the leather market and superbly crafted designs aimed for both a modern and
traditional man, with an incredible sense of style and quality. The Mercantile
brand has a much longer tradition than you think, but this time around they’ve
surprised us with incredibly bold handbag designs, superbly crafted belts and
wallets and virtually everything you may think of when you think leather
fashion.
Judging by their recent collection, it seems we’ll be
turning to them for all that’s leather all throughout 2016 and beyond.
Palace
Street wear! Palace’s
cheeky attitude has got this relatively new London skate brand quite a
following and we are pretty convinced we’ll be seeing a lot of it in the
future. The brand is recognized for witty and funny lines on the clothes, like
that bomber headline saying "ON THE DANCE FLOOR LOOKING LIKE THE GUY OUT
OF THE FANTASTIC 4." Palace founder Lev Tanju
pens much of the hilarity himself.
Off White
Virgil Abloh is a
designer who’s managed to create a fantastic mashup of what's popping in the
street and put it on the runway. His inspiration comes from everything from
architects (Mies Van Der Rohe) and graffiti artists (Terrible T-KID 170) to
mid-2000s streetwear like ALIFE and aNYthing.
Obviously, his other gig as Kanye West's creative director
and a globe-trotting DJ helps fuel his increasingly eclectic influences.
Fashion's current
obsession with street culture is evidently present in Abloh’s aesthetic that is
based on screen printed military jackets, distressed jeans and self-described
Céline-meets-Air Force 1s. We love it!
Supreme
This influential
skate brand was founded back in 1994, and it has managed to become and stay a
cultural powerhouse! The label has a fondness for bridging the gap between
generations, whether through putting Neil Young and Kate Moss on T-shirts
that instantly sell out or through working with Larry Clark on a collection
inspired by his film "Kids". Obviously, most kids obsessed with the
Supreme hadn't heard of these people before, but owing to this amazing brand –
they do now!
