Antonio Grimaldi Couture Collection SS 2017 Paris
BOSS Menswear Fall/Winter 2017
New York City, January 31, 2017. With a collection designed for the global traveller and focused on the fundamental elements of the brand, the BOSS Menswear show presents a man prepared for everything and ready to take on the world.
Adventures and explorers provide the direct inspiration: those who voyage across the world and rely on performance and functionality. This approach, informed by a nautical influence, is combined with key foundations of BOSS Menswear – precise cuts and construction, and a love of detail – to create a collection that’s primed for the modern traveller.
Tailoring sits at the heart of the collection. Each look is grounded with precision cuts and expert construction: the starting point of BOSS Menswear. Wider silhouettes based on BOSS suiting from the 80s and 90s are mixed with slimmer, modern cuts, and long and short designs are mixed together.
The contrast in each look – heavy, dense wool with lightweight nylon, precise suits under practical parkas – emphasises an attitude to dressing that’s modern and exemplifies what BOSS does best.
A maritime influence is found in design and detail. Pea coats and duffles are cut from heavyweight cloths and secured with buckled straps and chunky fastenings, while hardware reflects nautical equipment.
Innovative fabrics reinforce this theme, with boiled wool and bonded leather and cotton providing protection from the elements while also creating oversized shapes that feel new. Fisherman-style knitwear is crafted in generously chunky constructions, and zipped closed with functional ring pulls, providing a practical, masculine look.
The story continues with the construction of the garments. Many pieces have sealed seams for protection, while specialist equipment has been used to sew the heavier fabrics to create truly sturdy outerwear.
Colours are precise and masculine: off-white, burgundy and olive green tones sit against grey and navy shades. The same slant is taken with accessories, where sturdy leather shoes are reinforced with substantial rubber soles, and bags come in practical shapes based on holdalls and sailor’s duffles.
In keeping with BOSS’s considered approach, each piece in this bespoke collection is perfectly fitted to the model who wears it. Every item of outerwear has the model’s name sewn into the collar, reflecting this personalised approach.

RALPH & RUSSO
SPRING/SUMMER 2017 COUTURE COLLECTION
A seamless fusion of geometry, metallics, graphic florals and an underlying essence of athleticism; the Spring/Summer 2017 collection explores the coexistence of urban and natural spheres, interpreting contemporary femininity through its opposites.
Channeling the intersection between natural beauty and modern architecture, adornment is botanical; crystal pleated and foil fringed, synthesising the innate symmetry of nature with contemporary configurations. Lurex stitched San Gallo petals and slashed brush strokes of metallic ink add city hues to fresh garden tones of sky blue, powder pink, indigo and evergreen.
The reciprocal action of geometric lines, latex appliqué and the effortless ebb of frills, degradé ostrich feathers and diaphanous chiffon trains interconnect like longitudes and latitudes in homage to women; all.
DIGITAL OASIS – THE HUGO SPRING / SUMMER 2017 CAMPAIGN
This Spring / Summer 2017, enter HUGO’s Digital Oasis campaign, exploring the crossing on- and offline worlds and those who live at the intersection.
Shot in the desert in California, a cast of bright young things is photographed against shifting natural and man-made backdrops – from the arid landscape, punctuated by blurred pylons and pixelated shards of light, to the clicking and bleeping of a whirring power station control center.
The campaign features portraits of up-and-coming and established talent from the worlds of art, music, film and fashion. Each individual was chosen for his or her original spirit and energy, as part of a generation whose lives are inextricably linked with digital.
The line-up features musician Soko; model and actress Devon Aoki; artist Alexandra Marzella alongside her boyfriend, photographer Jasper Briggs; stylist and entrepreneur Luka Sabbat; models Anwar Hadid, Kiki Willems and Felix Gesnouin; and twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears of band The Garden.
The campaign was shot by photographer Harley Weir, renowned for raw and intimate depictions of her subjects. Short video vignettes run alongside the imagery, featuring Weir in conversation with the faces of the campaign. These offer a deeper look into the individual personalities of the cast, as well as their unique and often very unusual perspective on digital.
The cast wears new Spring / Summer 2017 styles from HUGO Menswear and Womenswear, designed under the same concept. The collection features clean silhouettes, influenced by the precision of digital, but thrown together and styled with relaxed attitude. Prints and patterns include 3D optic grids, while a bold cactus flower motif is cut, flipped and positioned onto lightweight fabrics. Inspired by the fading light of the desert at sundown, the color palette features tones of light purple, chartreuse and sahara, creating ready-to-wear and accessories that fit seamlessly into this new HUGO world.
DIESEL BLACK GOLD Fall Winter 2017 show in Milan
Moschino 2017 Men’s and Women’s Pre-Fall
The place: an ancient palazzo. The time: an indeterminate future. The collection: a curated clash between dystopia and hope presented by Moschino designer Jeremy Scott.
For Pre-Fall and Menswear Fall/Winter 2017 we are on a mission. The models emerge into the scarlet glow of digital clocks set to countdown. The collection is half artful collision, half meaningful division.
The baseline uniform is military. Olive cotton drill and parachute silk are issued as jumpsuits, elongated MA1’s, field jacket skirts, and camouflaged combat separates. These are worn alongside webbing harnesses, combat boots and cavalry boots.
Ripcords provide ruche and gather, a hooded wind-cheater is deployed as a ruffled dress, and that camo’s color-scheme is twisted from you-don’t-see-me to oh-please-do: but this much more than a by-the-numbers subversion of military gear.
Because – BANG – there are tulle-pumped evening gowns and tailcoats strafed with scenes of conflict. Elegance fighting back, beauty uprising. These scenes run from Italianate frescoes depicting the eternal struggles through to Transformer laser-lit panoramas of epic battles in space. Sometimes the decoration is a source of conflict: a fresco half painted over by heavy black brushstrokes, an olive drill evening gown or overprinted denim jacket daubed with the outline of roses. There are other tensions, other ambiguities at play here too. Moschino-classic black leather biker pieces are cut in with panels of gold on back floral jacquard: hard and soft. Jeremy Scott is proud to have recruited Judy Blame to contribute his hand-hewn headpieces: berets strafed with metal hardware that resemble disassembled Swiss Army knives. Beauty conjured up through the magic of feeling. Pre-Fall or Pre the Fall? From then, for now, until when? Beauty and freedom are worth fighting for. That marabou rainbow burns brightest when set against a dark background. This season Scott delivers an anti-uniform for whats to come. So rise up and get dressed before the clock counts down to zero.
