DIOR HOMME SS 2018: The iconic tailored suit

Kris Van Assche amazed the fashion world with the SS18 show for DIOR HOMME and we note what you must remember for the next season. The Belgian designer and creative director of the brand, celebrated 10 years in DIOR HOMME and he paid tribute to the iconic tailored suit.

“Tailoring will never be over, but I’ve been here for 10 years and it made me think about the DNA of the brand, the black suit and the white shirt” noted the creative director.

He combined really classic suit lines with trainers, wide-legged trousers or shorts and he marked to the new generation the DNA of Dior. Kris Van Assche also styled the collection with varsity inspired bomber jackets and colourful tops and shirts, showing once again that the sport-luxe trend is still on the top of the fashion world list.

Must Have Fragrance this winter: NOIR Anthracite

 

World-renowned designer Tom Ford has created a true luxury brand for the 21st Century. 
He is also well known for turning out fragrances that are as sleek as his tailoring. 
The house of Tom Ford has the ability to create very special, original scents that are depraved by the traditions of mainstream fragrances.
Tom ford introduces the new Noir fragrance, Noir Anthracite.
The latest icon of seduction, Tom Ford Noir Anthracite reflects the light in the dark. 
It's deeply, softly dark, without so much of the apparently intentional style of many of the brand’s other releases.

The brand-new Tom Ford Anthracite has notes of ground citrus blended with a masculine oak moss base.
A mixture of bergamot sandalwood and ginger make for a statement scent. I believe it makes the perfect scent for fall.

Fall/Winter 2017-18 TRENDS: OUR PICKS

1.Padded jackets :

padded jackets

Comfortable dressing was a huge influence for designers this season. Oversized and cosy - padded jackets combined with wide-leg trousers created the ideal winter outfit. A padded jacket is definitely the finest choice to invest for the winter as it keeps you warm but look uber-cool at the same time.

2. Snow Ready

snow ready

As seen in Moncler, Gamme Bleu, Lanvin, Balenciaga, Facetasm and Cottweiler the ‘mountain’ outfiy is a big trend for winter 2017-18.  Designers presented technical wardrobes of snow-ready style, trying to convince us that ain’t no mountain is high enough.

3. The office

the office

Business outfit is back, with a slightly sinister edge. Think about Wall Street circa 1985 and all the early 90s tv shows but add extra-large shirts and patterned satin neckties (worn a little longer than the usual) and red color as the new black. Workwear maybe, but for 2017 it’s normcore and the anti-skinny pants version of the business outfit.

4.Red

the red

This season feel free to be festive like its Christmas every day. Red is the new black as we mentioned above! Head-to-toe at Dior, red on knitwear at Dries van Noten and normcore red outfits at Balenciaga. The ‘naughty’ color choice has provided a burst of color that electrified the menswear


5. The Supreme x Louis Vuitton bag

the bag

The fashion world was shocked when it came out that the 90s skate label from New York with the cult following will collaborate with the most iconic French house! Everyone was super excited to see the result. Two different words became one on the runway and the Supreme x Louis Vuitton red logo bag, was sold out at the same time; sending the bag to the top of collectors wish lists for the next ten years.

Erdem x H&M

Erdem x H&M

Every year we excitedly anticipate when the next collaboration of H&M will finally be announced. This year is going to be extra special, as the news of Erdem collaborating with the high street brand blew up on social media, following last year’s collaboration with Kenzo and previous ones such as Balmain, Isabel Marant, Versace, Anna Della Russo, Marni and many more.

Erdem as a brand exudes a bold yet elegant feminine image as the womenswear collections usually consist of flower patterns, lace and bold patterns. It stands out as a brand for the dreamy and unique floral patterns with a predominance in silk and more structured textiles. This is the first time that Erdem Moralioglu will be presenting a menswear collection and I’m really looking forward to see the translated femininity that he usually takes on in a menswear aspect. The collaboration is going to be available in-stores and online on the 2nd of November and the promotional video produced by the film director Baz Luhrmann was so stunningly shot that I have very high expectations of the entire collection. The designer Erdem Moralioglu is considered to be one of fashion's most romantic designers, whose exquisitely crafted pieces rejoice the power of beauty by exploring historical references seen in the prints selected and personal narratives. ERDEM x H&M will create a full wardrobe of his famously feminine womenswear available and even an accessories line, with a menswear collection debuting for H&M.

A tiny glimpse into the collection is going to make you fall in love with every single piece, from structured dreamy dresses, to floral scarf’s, to leopard print faux-fur and a beautiful grey suit for men as well as a smaller floral print in shirts with sleeve piping.  Indeed it is shaping up to being one of the best collaborations that H&M has done so far. Statement, luxury pieces in affordable prices are worth investing on, so keep an eye for the collection launch a few days prior to November 2nd so you can make up your mind and head straight for the rails. For what I’ve seen online I’ve already spotted a few pieces that will be mine.
