Masculine Lounging

This was by far the most surprising collection I came across during Paris Men's Fashion Week. Upon first inspection I was not expecting all of the thought that went into this seemingly simple collection. This is one of those rare times when I glance at a collection first and think, that's pretty interesting and I like the vibe.

Write On

I have always been such a sucker for elegant calligraphy. The way it looks, the time it it took to write in such a exquisite way. The message didn’t even matter much. It could even read something as simple as “I’ve popped out to the store.”, but in calligraphy it is received as a love letter that looks more like, “Darling, I have gone on a short outing to gather some goods. If you need anything at all please text me. I cannot wait to finish my task so that I may once again, be reunited with you. With all my heart…”.

In a world where we are reevaluating the way we consume and live, fashion is not a category to be overlooked. We express ourselves and our identities through the clothes we wear.
