MONCLER GAMME BLEU reflects the synergy of Moncler’s expertise in active sportswear and outerwear with the hand-made tailoring sensibility of Thom Browne.

To emphasize this concept, many of the items are made in fabrics utilizing special techniques and detailing with mountaineering rope graphics and carabineer attachments. The silhouettes are designed with various layered proportions in mind.
The collection includes quintessentially Thom Browne classically tailored pieces such as sport coats, Peacoats, Chesterfield coat, trench, capes, cardigan, polo shirts, trousers and shorts as well as mountaineering inspired silhouettes such as jumpsuit, oversized bomber jackets and hand-knit pieces.
All with graphic rope details on fabrics such as wool jacquard bouclé, intarsia on fur or knit, printed wool, nylon, sequins and rubber and Harris tweed and rip stop and other technical fabrics mixes with wool suiting, such as wool flannel, cashmere, Shetland wool, wool tweed, Donegal wool. Additionally there are cotton corduroy, Mackintosh and cotton Cavalry twill.

VERSACE FALL WINTER 2017-18 MEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK
The brotherhood of Versace – the strength of individuals, the power of unity. Pride in identity, the coming together of clans, and the sense of belonging from new archetypes for a male wardrobe. Outerwear includes long, knitted coats that wrap the body, or sharply tailored coats that are held by belts to dramatize the silhouette.
Prints throughout are like mark-making, as if the hand-painted pattern of an ancient tribe. The prints unify and blend the collection between formal and casual. Nylon trenches have light yet dynamic volume, with double-length belts to hold and exaggerate their elegant fluidity.
Photographic prints of classical sculptures are collaged with images of hardware, symbolising the idealistic beauty of male power through the ages. Shearling coats bring the survival instincts of the wilds to the city, while plaid shirts are rugged for the urban landscape. Positive words of hope are embroidered on the chest of shirts and nylon zip-ups, with hidden messages of affirmation also sewn inside coats to embolden the wearer.
The pattern and beauty of African textiles are found in jacquard coats that are woven like blankets, or graphic sweaters that were proudly knitted by hand. The Versace suit is refreshed and lightened: the strong silhouette is now neat to the body, with a soft constructed shoulder for the way men wear tailoring today.
Hiking sneakers punctuate the silhouette with their energising shape, often mixing traditional shoe detailing with a technical sole. Empire bags have been hand-painted in the marks of the collection, while the new Palladian bag is neat, compact and versatile. The V-Extreme Pro watch brings the rugged outdoors into the urban environment, while a special edition of the Dylos with grey stone or total black is sleek for the city.
“This is a collection about the different tribes of Versace men, and the powerful positivity that can happen when men from different places, different cultures join together.” Donatella Versace

LES HOMMES FALL WINTER 2017-18 MEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK
The new Les Hommes collection takes the world of aviation right into late 70′s Punk. For Fall Winter 2017/18, creative directors Tom Notte and Bart Vandebosch outline a precise trajectory that brings two apparently distant universes together through constant references of inspirations.
Contemporary young men flaunt inverted triangle silhouettes. Large shearling collars increase the volumes on shoulders, while a skillful layering bestows vigor and thickness to outerwear, subsequently slimming down reaching rigorously skinny trousers.
Multi-material jacquard suits feature all-over prints inspired by aeronautical badges, decorated with removable straps borrowed from parachutes for a rebellious and urban touch. The spotlight is on outerwear. Shiny details and zippers stand out on shearling and military bomber jackets.
Coats often come printed with a couture overlaying that shows an almost imperceptible camouflage jacquard. Abundant metallic embroideries and studs enliven and brighten the more strict looks. Noteworthy is the comeback of knitwear with heavy extra-large wool sweaters and trousers feature long johns reinterpreted for the outerwear through a thick Milano stitch jacquard.
The color palette is precise and sharp: the total black tone of the collection only allows the incursions of red and blue shades. Accessories include fur lined aviator hats, leather long gloves to wear pulled down and aviator sunglasses. Silver studded military boots finish the look.

ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA FALL WINTER 2017 MEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK
Winter 2017
Crafted Modernity: A “Made To Measure” Fashion Show
A merging of the intensely artisanal and the resolutely contemporary. Alessandro Sartori debuts in the role of Artistic Director for Ermenegildo Zegna in a dialogue between the art of exquisite tailoring and the fast-paced needs of the contemporary urban and globe trotter. Out of progressive contrasts – technology clashes with tradition as the outdoors spirit stems from sartorial constructions and sportswear permanently alters the look of formality – new categories arise. The message is synchronic: ease, speed, luxury that’s relevant for the moment and that’s thought to be lived out there. The spirit is as multi-cultural, multi-age, multiple as contemporary masculinity is.
The show is set within the iconic premises of Anselm Kiefer’s The Seven Heavenly Palaces. His brutally poetic, conceptually expansive architectures of pure raw materials and effortless engineering becomes the perfect environment for Alessandro Sartori’s new aesthetic which evolves and breaks codes relying on intense textures and keen constructions that define new functions. Casentino felt is made with ultralight cashmere, allowing suits to turn into outerwear. The textile research of Ermenegildo Zegna is manifested in the exclusive Trofeo Cashmere denim as well as in felted cashmere jersey and tubular padded jacquards. A special wax tanning process gives baby calf a papery, waterproof feel and a surprising weightlessness. Geometrics jacquard – hand-drawn and intricate – add a spin to classic suiting patterns.
The silhouette is soft and active, defined by the strong line of the shoulders and a natural flow. Inside-out constructions bring functionality to the fore; drawstrings mold the shape of formal coats and field jackets. The proportions of blousons and parkas have a defining lightness. Rubberized zippers close tailored outerwear. In the global shifting, an elegant informality arises.
The organic color palette grows from tones of winter white and light grey to notes of camel, vicuna, rusted nail and African earth to deepen into shades of oxblood, pond, peacock green and journal blue.
Accessories make a bold presence: active sneakers, sturdy brogues with silicon-dipped soles, outsized portfolios and backpacks, book briefcases. A special loom turns super thin leather strips into a woven fabric: the innovative Pelle Tessuta.
To close the circle creating a real dialogue with the customers, in the spirit of Couture the day after the show a selection of looks will be available to order Made to Measure in global stores worldwide, scheduled for a six-weeks delivery according to the meticulous atelier timeline. This unique experience expands the reach of the show to a global audience, keeping the authenticity of Zegna values in soulful pieces meant to be really worn.

GOSHA RUBCHINSKIY FALL WINTER 2017 MEN’S COLLECTION – KALININGRAD
Gosha Rubchisnkiy’s FW17 collection takes the symbol and strength of international partnerships one step further and marks the beginning of an ongoing collaboration with adidas Football leading up to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Titled the Football Collection, Gosha’s FW17 apparel is inspired by today’s football fans : young, multidimensional individuals as passionate about the game as they might be about techno music and fashion. Gosha mixes iconic adidas Football on and off pitch pieces with classic suiting, all designed in his signature style to represent this plurality.
Stamped with the word « FOOTBALL » written in cyrillic, the adidas Football x Gosha Rubchinskiy collaboration includes items ranging from a winter padded coat to striped football jerseys, hoodies and accessories as well as the ACE 16+ SUPER and COPA sneakers.
Teaming up with UK milliner Stephen Jones for his FW17 headpieces, Gosha emphasizes the importance of being on a global team. His football fan is nurtured by German technology, British heritage and Russian youth. He is international.
The location of the show is symbolic of this strong worldwide connection. Kaliningrad itself is a piece of Russia in the middle of Europe, and historically a German territory known as Königsberg. The city’s Youth Centre, formely the old Königsberg Stock Exchange, is the perfect backdrop to present this east- meets-west collection and represents the link between past and future.
For this new Russian period Gosha comes back to the motherland for the first time since his 2008 Moscow debut to present a very personal show : from the hair & make-up, styling to a very special casting of boys from all over Russia, all is directed by Gosha.
The music score produced for the occasion in collaboration with Buttechno, as per previous seasons, is constructed exclusively around recorded interviews of the models. Their voices are the sole instruments in the soundtrack not only providing the rhythm to the show but also a portrayal of youth in Russia today.
