Taking cues from the defined shapes of the Japanese samurai armour, Abloh added padded shin guards, pieced body protection and even skirts to a base of tracksuits, in outfits befitting a modern-day warrior. Over at Louis Vuitton, Virgil Abloh presented his latest collection as a filmed tableau, with dancers, GZA from Wu-Tang Clan playing chess and Goldie – one of the UK originators of drum and bass – swinging a samurai sword. UK musician Goldie was one of the models for the spring/summer 2022 menswear collection. The saddle bag pioneered by John Galliano reappeared as a double pannier man-bag, and even a faded snakeskin print travelled over V-neck jumpers, flares and hoodies. Slim-cut suits and knee-length coats arrived in mottled satins, while lapels were folded closed and held with jewellery, as the Dior logo was rethought across knitwear, to read Cactus Jack, instead. Riffing on Scott’s upbringing in Houston, Texas, the show, dubbed Cactus Jack, was awash with desert-influenced tones of faded sunset pinks, warm sand, ochre and hickory, lifted with hazy sky blue and pops of citrus green, in a way that will resonate with this region. Scott’s preferred trouser of slim-cut flares was used throughout the show, with and without side zips, with cowboy-ish medallions up the side and in glossy satins the colour of wet sandstone. With Scott often spotted wearing Dior Homme, the resulting tie-up feels so natural, as if it was always destined to be. Unlike for previous shows, however, this was not someone else's art splashed across Jones's designs, but something more fundamental, with the two men designing the collection together from the ground up. Courtesy Courtesy DiorĪt Dior Homme, creative director Kim Jones embarked on another collaboration, this time with rapper Travis Scott. Inspired by Kim Jones and rapper Travis Scott, the new spring/summer 2022 men's collection has a top with the word 'Dior' spelt out in cacti. Here's a look at what went down the runway. Just remember where you hid them, especially if you use them frequently.The French fashion houses of Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and Hermes all unveiled their spring/summer 2022 menswear this weekend, with diverse but meaningful collections. Put them away somewhere out of sight and inaccessible. It’s not enough to make sure they’re not on the counter. Pack them for your impending move instead.Īs trivial as it seems, also put away your prescription medications and cosmetics. These can be easily palmed and pocketed, despite their fragility. And make sure your video surveillance equipment is properly set up and powered up to add an additional layer of protection.īy the same token, think twice before you set out your Lalique crystal stemware, Lladro nativity scene, or Lladro menorah this year. This is just while your house is for sale and has a lock box on or around the front door.
And think twice before you store them in their branded dust covers, which scream, “This package contains an expensive designer item.” Hide these treasures in the back of your closet, at the bottom of the laundry basket or up in the attic. Same for you Rolex collection, your Tiffany jewelry, your Hermes scarves and your Jimmy Choos. Any Louis Vuitton purses, suitcases, weekender bags or shoes should be placed out of sight and in an area that is inaccessible to any visitor.
