Menswear - Spring 2020
Neil Barrett
16 June 2019 • By Tim Blanks
Barrett nailed his first twenty years in business and is feeling the need to expand in different directions. Once the totem of restraint, he is now the guru of the mobile disco.
Marni
This collection came across as a commercially astute proposal from the designer, who already proved himself a master of prints. Now we get that he’s also a pretty mean tailor.
Versace
15 June 2019 • By Tim Blanks
Masculine stereotypes were well and truly challenged on Donatella’s catwalk by a killer combination of rococo decoration and hormonal teen rave culture. But even her challenge was overtaken by the speed of life.
Ermenegildo Zegna
Alessandro Sartori is a curious combination of iconoclast and traditionalist. His latest collection was notable for its precise formality, moving away from streetwear in men’s fashion.
A-Cold-Wall
11 June 2019 • By Tim Blanks
Samuel Ross’ most accomplished collection to date came with newfound softness.
Fashion East
The three designers couldn’t have been more distinctively different, but each of them had something more to say.
Martine Rose
If there was a level of chaos in the layers of Rose’s collection, you could imagine it reflecting her own frustration.
Craig Green
The fact that all of the shimmering possibilities that inform his collections also animate a global fanbase is the single most encouraging thing about the current state of menswear.
Alexander McQueen

Sarah Burton sought to offer a worthy male counterpart to the poetry of the womenswear collections.
Chalayan
Hussein Chalayan showed a collection of menswear that was as fresh, light and relaxed as the season it celebrated.
