Soccer is the beautiful game, the world’s game, and its more than century of global play has created a culture of mingled high and low influences, of working-class toughness and international glamour. Carlos Campos deals readily in this magnificent dichotomy in his Spring 2014 collection. The motif of the goal net is repeated multiple times

Zilli is not the most commonly known label- and perhaps that’s as it should be. The French house has since 1970 provided only the most exceptional garments and shoes for men with extremely fine taste- and extremely fine resources to match. “The Finest Garment for Men in the World,” its slogan reads. Still, such high

Dior Homme SS’14 Collection

Charles Shoultz — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 15:09:47 +0000

Dior Homme’s collection for Spring 2014 is a contrast-filled work of unserious seriousness. Designer Kris Van Assche sought to explore the gulf between the tuxedo, most formal of menswear’s types, and the swimsuit, as casual as it is possible to be. The space he finds between them is populated by a lot of blurred lines

Saint Laurent’s Spring 2014 collection glitters and glistens as its models walk down the runway. The lineup makes heavy use of reflective material, from the shiny leather in the pants and jackets to the glinting metal on the lapels of suits. The proportions are skinny, almost painfully so, and black is the most dominant color,

Brilliance and vibrancy resonate through John Galliano’s Spring 2014 collection. Bright blocks of color-robin’s egg blue suits, shirts and slickers of neon orange-jump into the eyes and swim there, compelling us to follow the models long after they have vanished from the runway. Elsewhere, pants and jackets are printed in dots large and small, patterns

Dries Van Noten takes us into a verdant garden for their Spring 2014 collection. The line is dominated by floral prints, bursts of petals and stems that look as fresh as new-cut blossoms. Not all of it is bursting with color, however; the collection makes strong use of blacks and whites, stark shades that only
