Stuart Vevers pays tribute to the NYC gent for Autumn/Winter 2016
Since taking pole position at Coach in 2013, Stuart Vevers has taken the American heritage brand from fashion castaway to a reputable brand that screams wearability and, thankfully, accessibility. For menswear, it was his Autumn/Winter 2015 presentation that really sealed the deal on the British designers capabilities to revive a brand and next season is set to follow in those footsteps.
Citing none other than Bruce Springsteen as his inspiration, Vevers showcased a outerwear heavy collection with fur coats, down jackets, pea coats and, of course, an abundance of leather; shearling had a strong presence also, once again, proving to be one of the brands strengths. Aside from the rock legend Springsteen having an influence on the designers creative process, so to did the blue collar workers of the good old USA. Taking the form of lumberjack shirts, parkas, questionable knitwear and a strong presence of the colour itself throughout the lineup.
Safe to say, if 2015 was anything to go by, you can expect to see many a man (and woman) relying on Coach to keep them warm come winter.
Take a look at the full collection below.

Designer of the moment, J.W.Anderson, defines LCM androgyny.
This weekend, J.W.Anderson decided to showcase his autumn/winter 2016 collection to both a live audience and, controversially, over gay dating app – Grindr. While many eyebrows were raised at the decision to use such a platform to stream the show, Anderson’s lineup was directly beamed to the devices of over 7million users worldwide – exposure like that doesn’t come easy.
The collection itself was a demonstration of what Anderson does best; flowing silhouettes in delicate fabrics, a cropped floral jacket and very wearable knitwear, many of which featured either a snail motif or an Asian influence. Models we’re adorned with chokers and delicate bracelets which further cemented Anderson’s gender bending predilection.
For a designer who won both menswear and womenswear designer of the year at the BFA’s – the first time ever for one designer to win both – the pressure must have been immense. To say that Jonathan stepped up to the mark would be an understatement, an outstanding collection that’s remarkably wearable for the Northern Irish designer – safe to say, the bar has been raised.
