Men’s style: a forecast on suit trends
I recently had a chat with a guy friend of mine and he raised the topic of men’s suits. Apparently in the Singapore fashion scene, three buttoned suits for men are out and what is fashionable these days are the two buttoned suit. What he really wanted to know was – is this true?
I wondered some about that and decided to prowl the men’s Spring 2008 collections to see what were the upcoming styles. Below, is a presentation of styles from five different collections spanning Europe and New York.
Burberry Prorsum seemed to alternate between the three button (worn open) to two button suits (worn as one button).

John Galliano, creativity personified
One designer that consistently stands out for me every year is John Galliano. A true artist, I look at his bi-annual shows with wide eyes at every season launch.
A video of Galliano’s 2008, Spring RTW collection.
It isn’t just his shows or models that catch my attention, rather that Galliano is himself a character in his shows; a personification of his inspirations and work for that season. Whether it’s playful, colourful, flirty and light or dark, dangerous and edgy, Galliano is all that.
