Raf Simons obviously decided his neon brights from the spring summer 2011 womenswear collection were worth continuing, so he translated them into accents and all over colours for the Jil Sander autumn winter 2011 menswear show. I think they look great, and the catwalk has a balance of the brave colours (an all over pink suit) with a few for the guys who like to play it safe (slashes of neon in an otherwise conservatively coloured outfit.) And the shapes are all modern without being too trendy. Great cuts all around.
I love…
minimalist tailoring.
a very good looking pink suit.
flashes of bright colour.
that Raf Simons can make neon coloured menswear look cool and not stupid.
a super bright quilted parka.
I loathe…
a shirt that looks like it is part of a male nurse's uniform
shiny t-shirts on men.
