Men’s Show Highlights: Summer '13
Burberry boys in pink PVC raincoats, gladiator models in sarongs (they're back!) & daredevil suits - what will your beau be challenged to wear next summer?!
GoRunwayVersace - Spring/Summer 2013
Never, ever laugh at a man who pulls off a black and gold wrestling belt, plus sarong. This chap means serious beach business.
GoRunwayVersace - Spring/Summer 2013
They may have been conjuring up images of Barbie and Ken playing gladiators, but we were delighted to see the boys at Versace kept a steely stare as they strutted down the catwalk. After all, they DO look very pretty in pink.
GoRunwayBurberry Prorsum - Spring/Summer 2013
It’s raining men! Well, it was at the Burberry Prorsum show, as the gents took to the runway in metallic pink (yes, that’s pink, not salmon), PVC raincoats and such like. Please note the double whammy of foil with a lilac collar peeping through. Perhaps one should take a male initiation course before taking these threads off of the shop hanger.
GoRunwayBurberry Prorsum - Spring/Summer 2013
North of the belt loops, this outfit looks dashing and what one would expect on the set of Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby. Southward, we are transported to deep space where 2012’s brights are beamed back into the trends. Captain’s log...
GoRunwayDolce & Gabbana - Spring/Summer 2013
Since Dolce & Gabbana have upgraded swim apparel, Hawaiian shorts have never looked so dapper! Add a slinky leather belt and understatedly cool sandals, gentlemen.
GoRunwayMoschino - Spring/Summer 2013
No, this is not an episode of Supermarket Sweep featuring unnaturally attractive men - it’s the Moschino show! To pull off this collection of Warhol-like prints will require a special breed of gentleman. Wear with confidence or leave it for the professional kooks.
GoRunwayMoschino - Spring/Summer 2013
To avoid confusion, this suit is dry clean only.
Louis Vuitton - Spring/Summer 2013
And so, the pocket watch returns to the gentleman’s artillery of accessories for spring/summer 2012. Bravo.
GoRunwayAlexander McQueen - Spring/Summer 2013
The salmon suit is given a sharper lease of life thanks to the house of Alexander McQueen. With not a skull in sight, this is an instant classic and well worth a splurge on the credit card. Beard optional.
Getty ImagesPhilipp Plein - Spring/Summer 2013
Swapping the New York sidewalk for a Milanese catwalk, Ed Westwick struts down the Philipp Plein runway decked out in leathers and jersey. The star later celebrated his birthday with a meal with his mum. What a well-rounded chap he is!
GoRunwayCorneliani - Spring/Summer 2013
The city boy fashion stereotype – slicked back hair, lazily buttoned-up Italian wool-blend suits, etc – is given a retrospective twist at Corneliani. It’ll be all too easy for young bankers to emulate this trio of sophistication in corridors the world over.
GoRunway3.1 Phillip Lim - Spring/Summer 2013
Now we’ve stopped crushing on the model, we can confirm that razor-sharp tailoring and tone blocking (like colour blocking, but for boys), is a DO for next summer.
GoRunwayViktor & Rolf Monsieur - Spring/Summer 2013
Dear Sir, We are writing to you in the hope that you will attend the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards in 2013. You can even wear trainers with that very minimalist suit. Thank you so much. Yours faithfully, the GLAMOUR.com fashion desk.
GoRunwayGivenchy - Spring/Summer 2013
Boys went bad at the Givenchy show with well-placed studs, chains and dashing separates. The long clean lines and soft, linen fabrics cut a fresh silhouette in tailoring.
GoRunwayDior Homme - Spring/Summer 2013
Dior Homme is famous for the slimline suit – with good reason. Make your man swap shirts for Ts, but please tell him to keep the suit jacket firmly on to avoid paying homage to Simon Cowell.
Go RunwayGiorgio Armani - Spring/Summer 2013
From the croc brogues, masculine pouts and tan to the irresistible blends of classic colours, there is much style to celebrate here. Naturally, we expect no less of Armani; Giorgio or otherwise.
GoRunwayCanali - Spring/Summer 2013
A play on black, grey, blue and white: Canali may have kept its colour palette toned down, but the mix of accessories strike a note of genius.
GoRunwayBottega Veneta - Spring/Summer 2013
Double florals? Yes, really. This outfit was worn by the model with an overload of arrogance, some round sunnies and a bemused smile; a real-life chap could totally pull this off, given the right party invitation.
GoRunwayMissoni – Spring/Summer 2013
Hands off, men in our lives! Missoni’s ombre knitwear, textured layers and artfully clashing prints are so darn cool, we’ll be pinching these pieces for our own wardrobes.
