Continuing with the comments about the autumn/winter 23/24 collections, I'll talk about another men's show, the one by Louis Vuitton. A slight smile appeared on my face when I saw that the first pieces of the show were in light shades of purple. The smile grew when I saw that the brand also brought men's skirts to the runway and long coats with closed bottoms, like men's dresses. Are the boundaries between male and female finally being broken down in the fashion industry? Apparently not yet, as many shows are still separated by gender.
The skirt was my favourite piece, of course. But the collection has other interesting pieces.
Regarding colours, the brand used tones of purple, red (wine) and brown as the basis of the collection. In the prints, the variety of colours was greater.
The trousers are quite roomy, and one of them reminds me of the pantaloon trousers that were a hit in women's fashion in the 80s, a type of design that I really like for men.
Like others, the brand also presented some coats with sleeves a little shorter than ideal.
The formal pieces in the collection are a good demonstration of how fashion can be formal without being conservative. The classic tailoring base is there, visible, but the modern approach to the pieces is equally visible.
Is lavender (or whatever name is given to the shades of lilac used by the brand) going to be the new navy blue for men in suits? I would love to see this on the streets, as long as men who opt for the change seek my professional guidance, because if they make mistakes with navy blue (and they make a lot of mistakes!) it won't be any different with any other colour.
The more casual part of the collection fell into unnecessary clichés. Whoever can create such interesting formal fashion should create equivalent casual fashion. Maybe it's a marketing strategy to attract new riches and rappers, because the design of most pieces is only attractive to them. Some pieces are interesting, but overall the casual looks were disappointing (I liked one from head to toe).
