The project revisits a story that began in 1984, when founder Massimo Osti first introduced denim to the Stone Island collection. By the early 2000s, under designer Paul Harvey, the material had earned its own identity within the brand. Now, over two decades later, Stone Island returns to its roots while pushing denim into new territory.

The capsule offers an impressive range of outerwear, overshirts, utility vests, and jeans in a mix of traditional and futuristic fabrics. Polypropylene Denim, David Light Indigo-TC, and Micro Corduroy sit alongside raw Japanese selvedge denim, creating a collection that feels both industrial and refined. Each piece carries a dedicated black badge with a blue compass logo and nickel shank buttons, custom-made to mark this new chapter.

Actor Alessandro Borghi brings attitude and effortless style to the campaign in the Indigo Micro Corduroy Bomber Jacket. Made from finely ribbed corduroy woven with indigo-dyed cotton and white polyester, the jacket takes a fabric usually linked to countryside nostalgia and gives it an urban edge.

It’s lightly padded, finished with ribbed cuffs and hem, and fastened with a concealed two-way zip. The rinsed treatment gives it depth and character, while the signature badge anchors it firmly in Stone Island’s visual world.

Meanwhile, designer Clint 419 steps out in the Indigo Polypropylene Denim Coach Jacket, made from a 14oz denim tela woven that looks classic but feels unexpectedly light. The secret lies in polypropylene, one of the lightest fibers on earth. The result is a garment that keeps its structured denim appearance but weighs far less. With patch chest pockets, metal hardware, and discreet star embroidery on the cuff, it’s a study in functional precision.

STONE ISLAND DENIM RESEARCH feels both familiar and futuristic, a meeting point between heritage and experiment. It’s not just denim. It’s denim re-engineered.

Focusing on friendship and human connection, the brand found no others who could encapsulate this better than them – showing that warmth comes from within, and most notably, from the bonds you share with those around you.

De Niro embodies this truth whilst wearing the Maya 70 jacket: a revitalised version of the original hero piece that is down-quilted and considered one of Moncler’s most treasured and widely worn designs. Made from the brand’s signature longue saison recycled nylon, its design features a logo-adorned pocket on the left sleeve and a detachable hood.

Al Pacino, on the other hand, is pictured in the Bretagne jacket: a new design for the Autumn/ Winter 2025 collection. This short, hooded puffer offers the same protection against the harsh elements of the cooler months. Though smaller in design, it allows for greater flexibility in wear, without a cocooning silhouette or form; better suited to the urban lifestyle.

Shot in New York, the campaign marks the first time the duo has appeared together in a fashion campaign, reframing their partnership through a new lens all these years later. Photographed by British image-maker Platon, the series of black-and-white images, along with five accompanying short films, translates Moncler’s manifesto into a visual narrative.

To accompany Warmer Together, the score is a rendition of Bill Withers’ Lean on Me by Moncler ambassador Tobe Nwigwe and his wife, further reinforcing this notion of shared endurance.

Speaking on the campaign, Al Pacino said: “Friendship is the greatest thing you can have. Friends, people whom you share the same world with. There is just an innate trust. And the understanding of life.” Adding to this De Niro aptly said: “Warmth was never about the outside. It was always about what was happening on the inside.”

The launch includes a 40-Year Archive Reissue of the boxer shorts that became a style icon in the 1980s, alongside a new line made from luxury Tencel, a sustainable fabric known for its softness and breathability.

_{Sunspel AW25}

After all, Sunspel has been crafting underwear in England since 1860 and is credited with introducing the boxer shorts to Britain in 1947. The style was refined by John Hill, great-grandson of the founder, who adapted the design he discovered in the United States.

His updates included a back panel and smoother seams, which elevated the garment from functional to refined. The boxer shorts became a cultural hit in 1985 after appearing in Levi’s famous laundrette advert.

_{Sunspel AW25}

The Archive Reissue taps into this history, offering three original stripe designs in packaging inspired by pieces from Sunspel’s own collection. Alongside this, the brand also debuts a Tencel range that includes a T-shirt, trunk, and brief. Tencel is made from renewable wood sources and offers a silk-like feel with moisture-wicking properties, combining comfort with sustainability.

Both collections are available at Sunspel stores and online.

Best known for being a brand that explores fashion as both experience and performance, often in unconventional ways but globally successful, the brand was awarded the BFC Fashion Trust in 2025. Originally gaining brand recognition and fame for its work with latex, HARRI pushed boundaries with its craft, striking three-dimensional forms.

Yet, this collection takes a different route, aiming to make the clothes more liveable. The collection, named Museumwear, offers a more subtle vision and a debut into ready-to-wear.

Across a myriad of jackets, vests, and trousers, the pleasure of wearing HARRI is still maintained through its signature and identifiable latex. The jackets came in rich shades of brown and deep black, grounding the collection in wearability, while flashes of silver and a mint-blue cropped style pushed latex into unexpected territory, striking a balance between experimentation and function.

Denim two-pieces and jeans broke up the latex-led garments, softening the overall mood with a more casual energy. The denim is often treated with printed patterns and geometric washes, adding depth and a tactile edge to the fabric.

Chic, boxy wide-leg styles are paired with tailored latex jackets, giving the ensembles a streetwear sharpness that feels both grounded and futuristic. This interplay of latex sheen against patterned denim reinforces HARRI’s ability to merge performance with practicality, without losing its bold identity.

What catches the eye most are the bags, designed to brighten the collection and spark conversation. Used consistently, they add pops of colour and texture, punctuating darker, stronger silhouettes with moments of playfulness—like a tiny yellow bag styled with a huge boxy top. One design detail sees the bags crafted from beaded vests, a technique also applied to the garments themselves, creating a sense of continuity between accessory and clothing.

This new direction does not erase the brand’s identity. Elements of bold form remain, from inflated latex square shoulders—reminiscent of an American football uniform—to styled black shiny trousers that temper the sage-green top, and twin models in sculptural hoodies. Like folded bat wings, pillars protrude from the shoulders with dramatic force. These designs recall earlier collections where geometry was at the forefront.

This collection is made for those who appreciate culture. The clothing acts as a bridge between art and life, accessible to anyone willing to communicate with its design language. By stripping back from extreme silhouettes, HARRI opens itself to a wider audience while staying true to its artistic core.

“Music is about self-expression, originality and belonging,” Lee writes in the show notes, and the collection unfolded like a remix – sharp tailoring spliced with hand-worked check, checks refracted on chainmail and raincoats given a foil finish to shimmer. It was a study of eclectic contrasts: tradition versus rebellion, town against country.

Looking deep into the profound stitchings of Britain’s musical heritage, silhouettes naturally arrived narrow, somewhat mod-ish: slim three-button jackets, tapered trousers and skinny silk ties, you get the vibe. And you can probably guess who was on his moodboard!

Craft was foregrounded. Dresses cut entirely from beads and mirrored tiles caught the lights like a disco ball; leather was laser-cut to mimic lace, suede coats whipstitched to promise movement; and chainmail minis arrived in colour-blocked Burberry Check. Crochet appeared to shape-shift into multidimensional knitwear and hand-worked into party dresses with artisanal heft. Off the back of the brand’s festival capsule earlier this summer, this felt like a luxury evolution from the bucket hat and wellies we have all come to know and love.

This wouldn’t be a Burberry show without an impressive roster of outerwear on display. Trenches returned – Summerside, Rayne, Isleworth – echoing a 1927 archival coat but sliced with macramé or woven through with raffia. Wet-looks were made possible using waxed cotton, and python-print calfskin coats were designed for the wannabe rockstar.

The show itself was scored by Black Sabbath and unearthed by Benji B. A heavy bassline injected an undercurrent of rebellion, reminding the audience that music plays as much of a part in the UK’s culture as fashion.

While Lee has been quietly re-establishing Burberry’s codes for the past few years – the trench, the check and the rooted relationship between urban and rural life – SS26 was the point he added rhythm to his landscape: a celebration of performance, both on and off the stage.

The Central Saint Martins graduate has quietly carved out a distinctive space in London’s fashion scene blending historical inspiration with modern construction. Known for his meticulous, process-led approach, he crafts garments that balance tactility and resilience, favouring adaptability and substance.

His latest collection, titled Season 5, reflects a careful dialogue between material, colour, and form, establishing him as a designer who values thoughtful innovation as much as visual impact.

Acting as a a driving force, colour flows from hard greys, and slices of a metallic fabric through to washed blues and earthy greens, culminating in flashes of red and purple: a slow crescendo that structures both mood and form.

Fabrics carry weight and tactility with linens and cottons fused with technical weaves, surfaces brushed, puff-printed, or irregularly dyed. Washed grey tees are ruched in the side pulling in the silhouette to the body and creating texture.

Subtle historical echoes thread through the silhouettes: shoulders shaped like armour, trousers recalling breeches, and metallic silver accents glinting on knee pads. Geometric motifs and protective detailing suggest protection without costume, producing garments that feel both contemporary and enduring, resilient yet fluid in movement.

Zippers punctuate the collection, not just as functional details but as tools for texture and visual rhythm, catching light and breaking up surfaces. Sharp lines and precise tailoring cut into the silhouettes, creating a contemporary edge while maintaining the collection’s architectural flow.

The resulting pieces appeal to those who value understated innovation. Individuals seeking garments that are modern, adaptable, and quietly powerful, designed for movement, resilience, and a wardrobe that balances history with forward-looking style.

Accessories continue to evolve in SS26 reflecting Constantinou’s interest in adaptability and texture. The designer’s signature expandable quilted bags return: now treated with silver pigments that catch the light and new finishes that enhance tactility, creating a sense of both weight and movement. Their modular design allows them to expand and contract, echoing the collection’s theme of transformation.

By the finale, Constantinou’s world has moved from shadow to light, each garment a quiet testament to transformation. Colours, textures, and subtle historical echoes converge, creating pieces that feel lived-in yet eternal. A collection that whispers of resilience, tactility, and the enduring poetry of thoughtfully made clothing.

“The feeling of this collection is town and country, and how those two worlds come together,” begins the designer, back at his studio the day before his show. Nearly a year into his tenure, and most notably a total revamp of the brand, Fletcher feels in control and settled at his new post. So much so, his ambition is to take components that you’re so familiar with and turn heritage into hedonism.

The collection comprises design paradoxes. Sequin mini-dresses set against sensible cotton stripes and cable knits arrive with a surprising authority as they drape over silk tailoring. He’s redefined the “Sloane Ranger” stereotype through his own lens, one that magnetically pulls the character in both directions. The palette of the season is equally restless – racing green and chocolate brown clash with baby blue and lavender.

But Fletcher’s subversions go even further. A carpet is transformed into a cocktail gown, the popular sweater sleeves reincarnated make a return from Pre-Spring, and puffball taffeta frocks flirt with irony. There is built-in decadence wherever you look. Shirts take on tuxedo shawl tassels, and nylon Harrington jackets get a lift with formal evening-wear detailing. Or as Fletcher puts it: “When you apply two things that shouldn’t make sense together, it creates this kind of very eccentric English way of dressing”.

Accessories push the collection into storytelling mode – and evolve the foundations of what the Mithridate wardrobe looks like. Doctor bags swell into oversized luggage with trunk stitchings; tasselled golf shoes and sharply cut riding boots march from pavement to party. Costume jewellery in malachite and crystal ties the partygoer back to the imagined estate.

Aptly titled Edge of Seventeen, Fletcher’s SS26 outing for Mithridate is the rallying cry for the new era. It’s knowing, eccentric, and unafraid of contradiction. Going between London and China has afforded him a new sense of freedom, where experimentation to play with characteristics and to change their meanings has paid off. You don’t need to choose between the two lifestyles, because in Mithridate’s world, you can have both.

On a catwalk made of love notes and forgotten letters, the brand presented 20 looks that told the tale of a night-time ball and a lover now lost. The Central Saint Martins MA graduate utilied silk and linen as he knits and stitches each stage of the night.

Each look conveyed unspoken words and hidden meanings, a sense of freedom being released from the details of the garments. Structured and oversized knitted shirts were paired with fitted golden shimmery micro-shorts that bore bare legs. Speaking of shorts, tiny chinos were spotted on the models, with tongue-in-cheek keyholes embroidered on the fly. And I fear that Ouyang, with a subtle Paul Mescal–length crop that reveals the thighs, has made the chino quite fun.

Feathers were constant adornments throughout the show. Placed on beanies, hats, and collars, they are even detailed onto the knuckles of fingerless gloves. More literal interpretations of birds were shown, as pairs of wings grew on the backs of jersey t-shirts, and strings hung from their hems, creating a floating effect. A standout detail was the Converse shoes. Acting as modern reiterations of talaria, the high-tops were decorated with feathers in black and white, in both short and long styles. These feathered trainers refresh the standard high-top silhouette and breathe natural glamour into wearable designs.

Knitwear is the foundation of Ouyang’s designs. Weaved into the collection, traditional cable-knit jumpers and yarns are spun into polo shirts and hooded vests. Hand crochet is used throughout to create structured masculine silhouettes. Many knits were presented alongside traditional winter flannel shirts, with some being worn buttoned up. Others, like an earthy yellow flannel, were tied around the waist to be layered over knit trousers for a sense of casual coziness in the upcoming winter.

As the music picked up, the ball comes to an end, not with the ring of the clock reaching the midnight hour, but with the rumblings of a cannon. Deeper bangs and thuds give way to distressed wool that has been splattered with mud as they run from the dance. Lightweight jackets and mid-length white trench coats are buttoned at the collar.

Rectangular shoulders are appliqued in contour feathers as they grow wings, ready to fly away and escape the night. As the music comes to a sudden halt, there is stillness. Ouyang longs for his love, now gone from London as the buttonholes become poison weeds.

Within this show, Ouyang presents a story of longing and freedom. They are very much a designer who focuses on the details and craftsmanship, and he has delighted with a whimsical and fresh tale.

As of mid-2025, men’s fashion is enjoying a rare moment of stability. Instead of wild new fads, the focus is on timeless pieces and subtle luxury. Fashion is fickle – what’s “in” one day can be “out” the next – but style is enduring. Right now, well-dressed men are relying on classic essentials that never go out of vogue: think quality navy suits, white shirts, dark denim and fresh white sneakers, all foundation pieces that keep you looking sharp year-round. The mood is all about quiet luxury – understated excellence without flashy logos. Accessories reflect this steady vibe too. A timepiece like the Rolex Sea Dweller as a statement fashion piece remains perennially popular, often fetching five-figure prices on watch marketplaces. Rather than chasing gimmicky “it” items, many men are investing in heritage watches and other pieces that hold their value (and polish off an outfit nicely).

Even style advice these days emphasizes getting the basics right. Fashion writers (like the wonderfully acerbic DieWorkWear on Twitter) encourage men to prioritize fit and quality over fast thrills. In another well-known recent guide, men are yet again urged to “invest in high-quality pieces… that will stand the test of time,” leaving fast-fashion quick fixes behind. Building a confident look is perfecting the fundamentals of one’s wardrobe, not necessarily being a peacock. It’s a calm, classic moment – the menswear equivalent of clear skies.

Yet this stability may be short-lived. The industry is buzzing with an unprecedented shuffle of creative directors at major fashion houses – a sign that seismic change is coming. In Paris, Dior has tapped British designer Jonathan Anderson to take over menswear (as well as womenswear and couture) after years of Kim Jones’s tenure. Anderson’s known for his playful, artful touch at Loewe, so his Dior debut could bring a jolt of fresh energy and new silhouettes to men’s high fashion. So his baton at Loewe passes to the acclaimed duo from Proenza Schouler, likely heralding a blend of Spanish craftsmanship with New York cool in their upcoming collections. Also to watch: ex -Sportmax designer Miguel Castro Frietas’ Mugler, Mark Thomas’ Carven, Duran Lantik at Jean-Paul Gaultier and Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Balenciaga, all of whom are starting with their Women’s Ready To Wear collections next month. Glenn Marten’s Margiela and Michael Rider’s Celine may drop unisex pieces this Paris too like their predecessors. And will Mathieu Blazy’s Chanel cause menswear tremors too?

Milan is seeing its own upheaval: Donatella Versace has stepped aside, with Dario Vitale (a Miu Miu alum) now installed as Versace’s creative chief. It’s the first time in 47 years someone outside the Versace family leads the brand – a truly historic changing of the guard. Observers expect Vitale to respect Versace’s sexy, maximalist heritage but also infuse contemporary twists from his avant-garde background. Likewise at Bottega Veneta, a new creative vision is taking shape under designer Louise Trotter. More changes afoot too at Jil Sander with Simone Bellotti (ex-Bally) and Marni with Meryll Rogge. However the earthquake will be Demna Gvasalia’s New Gucci who will release a sneak peek of his vision next month with a full collection next March.

All told, nearly every big-name label is bracing for a reboot. As these new designers unveil their first collections in the next few months, men’s style could shift dramatically. We may see the reign of safe neutrals and quiet luxury give way to bolder statements, innovative tailoring, or a revival of opulence. For now, men’s fashion is enjoying a steady groove, but it truly feels like the calm before the storm. By this time next season, the style status quo may well be overturned – so watch this space.

The new collection modelled by Trent offers consumers modernised features in classic CK undergarments, such as seamless technology and stitch-free Infinity Bond waistbands. He was also styled in casual denim silhouettes and seasonal layers, from the American label’s latest 90s Straight Jean, to their Wool Blend Overcoat and Padded Harrington Jacket.

Speaking on the campaign, he said: “Stepping into Calvin Klein’s iconic underwear and denim for this campaign really got me in a powerful, confident state of mind. Reuniting with the team on this shoot was an unforgettable experience, made even more special by the fact that we got to shoot in Madrid, which means a lot to me. It made the whole experience even more personal and fun.”

Captured in a series of stills, Bellingham wears superfine-crafted tailoring that moves seamlessly from classic businesswear to refined evening attire. Each look showcases the House’s dedication to craftsmanship and detail, aligning with Pharrell Williams’ vision of menswear as a space for bold personal expression.

Accessories from the newly reimagined LV Aerogram line add a layer of quiet sophistication. Key pieces such as the Boarding Messenger, Duo Pouch, and Keepall 50 are crafted in waxy grained calf leather with matte tonal hardware and precise topstitching. These designs blend practicality and elegance, suited to every aspect of the modern gentleman’s routine, whether for business, travel, or special occasions.

Part of the Autumn/ Winter 2025 menswear collection, the brand introduces eight looks captured by Brett Lloyd, each one embodying a quiet, undercover kind of luxury. There’s a clear touch of streetwear influence—think a dark denim bomber and a leather-sleeved version that nods to classic varsity cuts.

_{Diorling Capsule}

Every look is styled with clean, straight-leg jeans and finished off with a pair of exclusive B33 sneakers for that easy, elevated edge. The slogan Diorling runs throughout the collection, written in an elegant cursive script. Most notably, it appears on glitter-detailed slogan tees that strike a perfect balance between essential and standout.

Accessories round off the capsule in a way that feels considered. A navy tie and matching baseball-cap offer pieces that can be styled up or down, depending on the mood. But the real scene-stealers are the bags: a sleek Dior Saddle Bag and an oversized backpack that somehow make even the most casual outfit feel intentional.
