Fashion Week takeaway
First and foremost, the SS27 Menswear season came to a close this week. If you’re asking, “What SS27 Menswear season?” Don’t worry, here’s our debrief with all the information you need to know to impress those around you. Main takeaway: it was HOT.

 

Wales Bonner SS27
Forgoing a spot on the menswear show calendar this season, Wales Bonner presented its SS27 collection in the form of a lookbook shot by Senta Simond. Titled Sun Poem, the collection explores the study of portraiture and the idea of constantly reinventing and refining oneself. As a result, the garments move between the private and public self, shifting between easeful and structured garments fit for the domesticity of home and the streets of the city.

McQueen TV
There’s a new episode of Documenting McQueen, the house’s film series tracing its codes and stories. This time around, it’s all about the signature McQueen skull motif. Renowned fashion historian and professor Alistair O’Neill traces the imagery’s history, from the debut of the classic Skull Scarf in 2003, to Kate Moss’ skull-printed dress in 2004’s ‘Black Show’, choreographed by Michael Clark. Tune in at alexandermcqueen.com and on McQueen’s YouTube channel.

Moses Martin (son of Chris and Gwyneth) stars in his debut fashion campaign alongside Burberry regulars Edie Campbell, Nora Attal and Sang Woo Kim, together on a summer road trip.

The link-up reveals the ACS PRO, a footwear design that merges Salomon’s performance sensibilities with A-COLD-WALL*’s industrial language. The accompanying imagery is fronted by UK musicians Shabaka Hutchings and Reek0 – two artists known for creating vivid soundscapes through genre fusion.
