IT'S A MAN'S WORLD

THE BRANDS, THE TRENDS AND THE BUZZIEST NEWS TO KNOW NOW

TRIPLE THREAT

A recent three-way collaboration has brought together three Italian fashion powerhouses from the realms of outerwear, footwear and streetwear. The Tod's x 8 Moncler Palm Angels capsule is a reinterpretation of two of Tod's most iconic shoes by Palm Angels' creative director, Francesco Ragazzi, for his brand's latest release under the Moncler Genius umbrella. The two shoes are Tod's signature Gommino loafer, newly adorned with an eye-grabbing flame motif; and its W.G. boot, now a cross between a snow boot and a mountaineering boot. The rest of the 8 Moncler Palm Angels collection is a re-examination of American uniforms and archetypes resulting in new takes on the puffer, parka, varsity jacket, tracksuit and five-pocket jeans.

FLUORO FEEL

Kick off the year on a bright note. The most arresting shade of the season is something between a highlighter yellow and an acid lime-guaranteed to add a zing into your wardrobe whether worn as a statement piece or an accent. For the daring, Versace presented a cut-out bodysuit worn with loose-cut black trousers. For those looking to dabble, look to the fluorescent kicks from the Nike x Ambush collaboration, or to accessories from the likes of Aries and Homme Plissé Issey Miyake.
