Givenchy Takes Flight

January 19, 2019

The Givenchy A/W ’19 Men's show was all about “perverse poshness.” A sleek dope-on-a-budget type of collection (even though nothing Givenchy would ever really fit on anyone's budget), its sharp yet baggy tailored shapes took us straight back to the '90s with all its individualism, and to the '70s, in all its glory.

With this collection, Clare Waight Keller wanted to reimagine menswear as more than just suits and tuxes. She wanted to create day-to-night looks that felt effortless and fluid, yet still artful and undeniably masculine, giving the “Givenchy man a new means of expression.”

Models wore petrol-finished leather with vibing color-blocked suits, “collage” shirts of classic Givenchy prints and this season's Pegasus theme, hybrid down parkas, and reversible waffle coats as they walked through the Haussmannian apartment in the Palais Brongniart, which used to be Paris' stock market.

As for the palette, Keller’s use of electric blue and iridescent fuchsia, panned against minimalist black and camel, gave us serious '70s vibes.

Peep some of our favorite looks, below.

A Ride With Rapha

April 29, 2024

To celebrate the coolest (and finest) cycle-centric brand Rapha's latest drop, we kept the party going after its New York Clubhouse launch with dinner and drinks at Ella Funt.

With a first campaign shot in New York, capturing riders through the lens of street photographers Sarah van Rij and David van der Leeuw, Rapha Performance Sportswear strikes the perfect balance between style and functionality, tailored for life in motion. Just in time for prime sunny weather here in New York, the collection is a perfect choice, both on and off the bike. "For someone like myself who lives in Amsterdam and commutes by bike daily," says Fayrouz Salem, Rapha Head of Lifestyle, "this is a dream come true. We've created pieces that work on the bike without having to compromise on style."

Shop the collection at rapha.cc and in select Clubhouses.
