Just as quickly as a parade of models walk the runway, mens fashion month is over! There were billionaires sitting front row, cowboys walking the catwalk and a lot of new takes on suits, serving as catnip for tailoring aficionados worldwide. Plenty to get you starting that autumn/winter clothing wish list.
But in between all the theatrics – elevating catwalks, snowfall during the finale parade, celebs-turned-models; that type of thing – that come with these fashion extravaganzas, it can be hard to identify what is actually going to be in your wardrobe next season. Sure, you can have your hopes pinned on a pair of Dior ballet flats or a Louis Vuitton cactus-embroidered blazer, but the likelihood of them ending up in your favourite retailers is all down to the buyers that work for them.
This group of sartorial stalwarts riffle the rails post-show and decipher what’s going to fit best into their customer’s collections – meaning you can count on them to know what’ll flop and what won’t. That’s why we asked a handful of London’s best shops what they loved from the autumn/winter ’24 shows, and what they’ll be stocking next season.
