DIRECTIONS BY
FLUORESCENT NEONS
F
lashes of electric neons flooded the menswear
runways at major fashion capitals for the S/S ’19
season. A heavy dose of bright, reflective colours
popped across a variety of materials such as
cotton, polyester, PVC, and even gabardine.
Paired alongside earthy or neutral palettes, the
trend is indicative of juxtaposing colours that are
usually not worn together.
Among the top runners, neon yellow – with
a lemony undertone, neon blue, and neon
pink, emerged as the ones omnipresent across
collections.
SUIT SPACESHIP
A
s far as S/S ’19 goes, tailoring is back – and
in a big way at that.
Taking references from the ’80s, the international
runways had a lot of permutations and
combinations doing the rounds when it came to
suiting. Besides the traditional houses who’ve
always championed tailored suiting, even brands
and designers who usually border on the edge
of outlandish (read: Comme des Garçons and
Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton), gave into the
trend. Steering away from the outmoded style of
suiting, what set the suits of S/S ’19 apart is the
way they are being worn bare-chested. Instead
of layering under multiple layers of outerwear or
over shirts, the summer suits go solo, sans any
article of clothing underneath.
