Editor's Pick: YSL L’Homme Cologne Bleue
Dive into the coolness of the new, fresh and aquatic interpretation of L’Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, L’Homme Cologne Bleue, our beauty editor's favourite!
Christos Theophanous (YSL Beauté Expert) notes "At the opening you feel a cool freshness awakens your senses." An essence that's zingy - with blood orange, grapefruit, mandarin and bergamot that is contrasted with a hint of black pepper and cardamom. "
Calm, controlled and composed, the heart opens with a blend of apple, geranium, thyme and lavender, inviting you in. And then, the Marine Accord, Oceanol, brings the freshness of Bleue. Understated Cedarwood essence rounds out the fragrance, bringing a sense of elegance and sensuality.

JOVÅN Spring/Summer 2019
JOVÅN (based in Milan) has been our addiction last season with his SS18 collection and we have to admit that he did it again with his Spring/Summer 2019 lines.
The founder and Creative director Jovan Stevanovic, continues his fashion journey and he presents men & women pieces in one collection with many lines available for him or her at the same time.
Unisex is the new black and JOVÅN SS19 meets Urban streetwear on its best. Metallic gold, black, yellow and lilac have been combined with red, white and denim blue elements and they propose the ideal look for those who dare to be different, to be unique.
Another remarkable statement are the JOVÅN accessories which have been combined in a really playful way. Caps, backpacks, jewellery and our favourite JOVÅN socks have already been the new trend in Milan.
In conclusion is worth to mention the references to the LGBTQ+ community which have been added in line with the new collection, reminding us the identity of the brand.
Sexy, playful, unique; JOVÅN is ready to hit the European market.

5+1 menswear trends for Fall/Winter 2018-2019
From bucket hats to hiking boots, and from extra large shoulders to superlative layering, these are the Autumn Winter trends to know about.
Sportswear is well-anchored in this new fashion vocabulary, but this season it made way for a few fashion foibles and chic accents ( thank God, tailoring is coming back!).
LOGOMANIA
Street style is not as strong as last year but the 'logomania' trend is here again and this time is more bolder than ever. After all the new and upcoming brands 'stealing' the top positions of the fashion industry last year, now the big Fashion Houses are assuming the style heritage that they rejected for so long. Go loud with all-over print, or go home.
WESTERN
A symbol of hopes and dreams, the wide plains of the American West are a seemingly inexhaustible source of inspiration for designers across the fashion capitals. From Raf Simons to Calvin Klein and Dries Van Noten the winter collections are proposing the style of the 'modern cowboy'. All you need is camel or earth colours, jeans, cowboy boots and your shearling jacket and you are ready!
XXL SHOULDERS
80s have been in our memories as the years with the most fashion statement looks. Extravaganza womenswear and more bold and androgynous menswear than ever. That was the decade when Mr Armani took over menswear and shoulders got wider... and wider. Today’s times recall a little of the same ambiant zeitgeist that pushed designers to create jackets and coats with shoulders that were ever wider.
"Fashion armour for an uncertain world."
EXTREME LAYERING
Demna Gvasalia did it again... Balenciaga and Vetements ''were doing the most!'' with superlative layering and really similar looks on the runway, supporting Demna's unique street style aesthetic. A kick in the teeth for global warming and tension around the world, or simple seasonal styling? You decide.
CLUB TROPICANA
From Prada’s archive flame print revival, to rebel skulls at SSS World Cop and Wales Bonner’s sensitive motifs, the print shirt will run and run through next winter. Refreshing and definitely something new for a winter season.
MidNight GLAM
Sequins and metallic are back again but this season all the midnight glam becomes 'a man thing'! Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, SSS World Cop and Balmain have already shown the way - you only have to find your favourite now...
We have to admit that this winter is full of new entries when it comes to trends. Some others that we love at REY and you will definitely see in our next editorial stories are the Fetishism of Moschino, the new Tiger print addiction and the Space Fantasy ( see Heron Preston or Undercover).

Massimo Dutti Autumn/Winter 2018: Watch the full show
Massimo Dutti unveiled its autumn/winter 2018 Limited Edition Collection in Shanghai.
The collection consists classic pieces with chic aesthetic with contemporary details.
Watch the full show below:
LES DEUX AW18 collection
The Danish brand Les Deux has been created back in 2009 as only a t-shirt concept, but the brand has evolved with a full collection and premium finish. Les Deux consists of contemporary, practical pieces with scandi aesthetic and elements, and it has become one to watch on REY.
.This AW18 season, Les Deux have worked to develop a collection that embodies the coming together of subcultures. The brand has submerged itself into three different brotherhoods of society’s misfits from around the world- The Bluecoat Brotherhood, The Foreign Legion and Hooliganism.
The collection attempts to reflect the communities that have, and continue to disrupt the social norms, defining their own space within society. This is translated through a delicate balance of its heritage minimalistic-Scandi-style, combined with key stand-out staples that create a feeling of diversity.
Wool and knitwear, along with slogan T-shirts and sweatshirts, crisp cotton shirts and bomber jackets have been combined with tailored trousers, accessories and trainers for a cool contemporary look.

Versace’s AW18: New campaign with the longest-ever advertising image

Side by side, the image features a cast of fifty four models symbolizing inlcusivity and diversity, key values for Donatella Versace and her vision for the brand.
“My team doesn’t just extend to my work team. The Versace Clans are made of all members of the Versace family – from customers to models, fans, photographers, stylists, friends, artists and all who believe that staying relevant means moving forward and making your voice heard – all who believe that fashion is not a way to just say ‘look at me’ but rather ‘look at me, I have something to say’.” she stated last when the very first promo video came out.

Richard Biedul x King & Tuckfield AW18 collaboration collection
King & Tuckfield is a new menswear contemporary brand, founded by Stacey Wood just 3 years ago. Its signature aesthetic fuses a distinctly British 1950’s feel, with sharp contemporary styling inspired by the colourful stories of Stacey's family history.
The design team is passionate with quality and sustainable materials, and their inspiration comes from the British fashion heritage and culture. They always love to mix everything that looks vintage with something that looks modern creating the new classic.
Model, Art and Style director, Richard Biedul joined that team to create his first 5 pieces-capsule collection and with these AW18 pieces makes his debut in the design world.
The collection consists of pieces which everyone needs all the time and every piece seems to be ideal for your wardrobe. Richard mentioned "We've created almost an off-duty uniform… it is about comfort, it's about function and formality"
And it's actually true. Everything can go from casual to formal depends on the way you style them on you. Modern, elegant pieces that will always be in fashion.
During this collaboration Richard has discovered a new found love for quality denim and has merged this new passion on his designs too. Focusing also on 100% fine merino wool in a bold spectrum of Navy, Fiesta Red and Clover Green, the collection is inspired with vintage references and a 1950's notion.
. Richard Biedul x King & Tuckfield AW18 capsule collection translates back to the main SS19 collection which we had the opportunity to see during London Fashion Week and we have to admit that we fell in love with...
The AW18 collection is now available on kingandtuckfield.com
Jacquemus’ first menswear collection for SS19
JACQUEMUS unveiled his first men’s collection titled “Le Gadjo”, in the south of France, by the seaside.
Masculine topless models in track pants and with no shoes, have presented a really different collection from what we expected to see from Jacquemus . A collection which sits on really different level and aesthetic from his latest delightful SS18 womenswear collection.
Street style and 90s casual elements on numerous looks along with some tailoring references have been combined and created his SS19 menswear collection.
