Men’s fashion: ten new season statement pieces
Yes, yes, it’s still summer. But the weather is crap, and in fashion terms we’re officially in autumn/winter with new season deliveries landing daily. Stores are reporting that key men’s fashion pieces selling out, leading me to suspect that a new breed of male fashionisto has evolved. This man wants star catwalk pieces – the ones that street style snappers and bloggers go crazy for. Possibly he pre-orders things straight after fashion shows and right now he’s spending hard money on the final collection by Raf Simons for Jil Sander. Here are ten key items that will help you identify the male fashionisto:
Jil Sander’s paper bag clutch
Mr Porter has sold out. Totally. They’re gone. Yes, a bag that looks like the sort of thing Americans get their lunch to takeaway in, but made in leather for just shy of £500, is a fashion champion. It’s the new men’s portfolio clutch. Also selling like hot cakes from Jil Sander are the whale and dinosaur print knits – Liberty have sold out of the whale while Oki-ni also report brisk trade. It’s the end-of-a-Raf-era effect, make no mistake.

YSL’s razor jumper
This piece of knitwear costs £880 and Matches don’t even have it on the shopfloor yet, but they’re predicting big things. It’s all part of the trophy jumper trend which is set to have another successful season. Think of this YSL one as a Christmas jumper with Parisian tendencies.
Dries Van Noten prints
Liberty already have several racks of Dries Van Noten autumn/winter on the shop floor and report strong sales of the printed pieces. See the scenic, almost wallpaper-like shirt with owls and swans and trees (top picture, right).
Givenchy shark t-shirts and sweats
Mr Porter has sold out of all things shark but report that a re-order is underway.

Prada accessories
It is a given that during any fashion show season that there are always a generous helping of Prada accessories. At the most recent men’s shows their garish studded golfer shoes were seen on many a FROW foot. Expect the floral corsages (they’re actually pens), the circular sunglasses, as worn on the catwalk by Adrien Brody and the lapel badges to be particular winners in the coming months.

Burberry’s studded gloves and umbrellas
There were a lot of accessories on the Burberry catwalk for autumn, including a finale of umbrellas that feature animal heads on their handles. Expect to see these in a million fashion editorials. The studded gloves (bloggers are already reporting they’ve got theirs) and portfolio clutches look likely to be be hits too.
Kenzo’s two-tone jeans
Well, men have embraced coloured slacks so why not ones with multi-fabric sections? Liberty say these jeans are currently popular on the shop floor. There is also a re-freshed interest in Kenzo right now because it’s being designed by Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of cult Opening Ceremony fame.
Pierre Hardy’s patterned trainers + Jimmy Choo’s paisley trainers
Selfridges report that fancy designer trainers, such as Choo’s paisley ones and designs by Lanvin are flying out. It’s a similar story at Matches. They’re seeing strong Balenciaga sales and lots of customer interest in forthcoming designs by Pierre Hardy (below).

Louis Vuitton feather lapel pins
Since designer Kim Jones took over at Louis Vuitton menswear things have gone from strength to strength. These feathery pins look set to adorn the most fashion forward male lapels this season.

Versace printed t-shirt and leggings
Versace buzz continues to scorch since it’s collaboration with HM despite it being of an acquired taste. Selfridges note that T-shirts and leggings with house prints have flown out while all jazzy print shirts by the brand is also selling well.

Burberry’s studded gloves and umbrellas
There were a lot of accessories on the Burberry catwalk for autumn, including a finale of umbrellas that feature animal heads on their handles. Expect to see these in a million fashion editorials. The studded gloves (bloggers are already reporting they’ve got theirs) and portfolio clutches look likely to be be hits too.
Kenzo’s two-tone jeans
Well, men have embraced coloured slacks so why not ones with multi-fabric sections? Liberty say these jeans are currently popular on the shop floor. There is also a re-freshed interest in Kenzo right now because it’s being designed by Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of cult Opening Ceremony fame.
Pierre Hardy’s patterned trainers + Jimmy Choo’s paisley trainers
Selfridges report that fancy designer trainers, such as Choo’s paisley ones and designs by Lanvin are flying out. It’s a similar story at Matches. They’re seeing strong Balenciaga sales and lots of customer interest in forthcoming designs by Pierre Hardy (below).

Men’s fashion: ten new season statement pieces
Yes, yes, it’s still summer. But the weather is crap, and in fashion terms we’re officially in autumn/winter with new season deliveries landing daily. Stores are reporting that key men’s fashion pieces selling out, leading me to suspect that a new breed of male fashionisto has evolved. This man wants star catwalk pieces – the ones that street style snappers and bloggers go crazy for. Possibly he pre-orders things straight after fashion shows and right now he’s spending hard money on the final collection by Raf Simons for Jil Sander. Here are ten key items that will help you identify the male fashionisto:
Jil Sander’s paper bag clutch
Mr Porter has sold out. Totally. They’re gone. Yes, a bag that looks like the sort of thing Americans get their lunch to takeaway in, but made in leather for just shy of £500, is a fashion champion. It’s the new men’s portfolio clutch. Also selling like hot cakes from Jil Sander are the whale and dinosaur print knits – Liberty have sold out of the whale while Oki-ni also report brisk trade. It’s the end-of-a-Raf-era effect, make no mistake.

YSL’s razor jumper
This piece of knitwear costs £880 and Matches don’t even have it on the shopfloor yet, but they’re predicting big things. It’s all part of the trophy jumper trend which is set to have another successful season. Think of this YSL one as a Christmas jumper with Parisian tendencies.
Dries Van Noten prints
Liberty already have several racks of Dries Van Noten autumn/winter on the shop floor and report strong sales of the printed pieces. See the scenic, almost wallpaper-like shirt with owls and swans and trees (top picture, right).
Givenchy shark t-shirts and sweats
Mr Porter has sold out of all things shark but report that a re-order is underway.

Prada accessories
It is a given that during any fashion show season that there are always a generous helping of Prada accessories. At the most recent men’s shows their garish studded golfer shoes were seen on many a FROW foot. Expect the floral corsages (they’re actually pens), the circular sunglasses, as worn on the catwalk by Adrien Brody and the lapel badges to be particular winners in the coming months.
