These collections breathed new life into garments, reimagining them with meticulous attention to detail and proportion while exuding an effortlessly relaxed attitude. The prevailing trend shifted from streetwear to workwear, featuring functional pieces adorned with versatile pockets.

ROSY PINK
The delicate and gentle tones of light pink were highly popular among fashion designers this season, who took a more casual approach to this pastel tint. Amiri and Valentino expertly incorporated several colours and textures of pink in their creations, integrating matte rose-coloured scarves, woven detailing, and bouclé textures. Paul Smith showcased a meticulously tailored three-piece suit in a subtle and dusky pink hue, while Bulgarian-born designer Kiko Kostadinov presented a fun and playful romper suit in the same pastel shade. Additionally, Kenzo enlivened their tailoring with rosy-pink colourways, adding a vibrant touch to their collection.

ORANGE SHADES
Fluorescent orange colours were used to brighten up the runway displays. Études, located in Paris, made a dramatic statement with a silky-textured trench coat in bright colours. Dries Van Noten took a softer approach, showing a trench in a pastel colorway made from an athletic fabric. Issey Miyake, on the other hand, went for a monochrome style with all-over tone colouring. Chinese sportswear brand, Li-Ning, opted for a head-to-toe ensemble with an eye-catching layer of contrasting khaki that perfectly complemented the neon trend.

FLOWER LAPEL PINS
Flower lapel pins, a sign of elegant grace, were given a modern makeover with the inclusion of various ornamental features. This symbol of dandyism and gentlemanly elegance has been rejuvenated by prestigious fashion firms such as Dior Men, Dolce & Gabbana, and Amiri. This classic ornament was reimagined as a brooch or a fabric blossom. Valentino was astounded with exquisitely embroidered roses adorning their jackets, while Yohji Yamamoto delighted with silver dragonfly embellishments on lapel pins.

SUITS
The conventional suit’s timeless elegance has made a reappearance as a must-have piece in men’s fashion. Many designers went so far as to incorporate the three-piece suit, a traditional icon, into more casual ensembles, sometimes even coupling it with a naked torso. Among those who adopted this style were renowned fashion houses such as Giorgio Armani, Paul Smith, Dries Van Noten, Federico Cina, and others. In addition, suits underwent a reinvention through inventive cuts and constructions, with Botter and Egon Lab taking the lead in this innovative movement.

GLITTER EVERYWHERE
Luxury fashion brands have presented bold and expressive styles on the runway. This season, Dior Homme displayed intricate decorations and vibrant colours. Dries Van Noten demonstrated that sparkles can be worn more casually, combining a sequined shirt with cargo trousers and sandals. The creative director of Loewe, Jonathan Anderson, showcased a shiny shirt and jeans paired with slippers, and Ami Alexandre Mattiussi added glistening sequins to khaki shades, creating a dazzling effect.
