BAND-MAID × The Warning June 12, 2024 In Japan Show Poster shirt

Previously a one-day affair at the end of London Fashion Week – British menswear has long been shunned as sub plot to its women counterpart. BAND-MAID × The Warning June 12, 2024 In Japan Show Poster shirt However, this weekend saw a change to that; for the first time in history men from London and beyond were treated to a three-day feast of stylish delights. London Collections: Men saw a mixture of established British names stand side-by-side with young pioneering new talents to produce an innovative range of shows. Residing among the bold checks of Hackett London lay an array soft pastels, kick-starting the move from English gent to gentleman abroad. This theme continued to the tale of Sir Wilfred Thesiger, the protagonist which inspired E.Tautz’s latest collection. Awash with a wild fire of swooping capes, simple silhouettes Patricks Grants rendition was one to remember. Although colour was an abundant theme, there was no dismissal of classic ideals. Spencer Hart showed a cascade of well thought out tailoring, as did the equally accomplished Oliver Spencer – both displaying just what can be done with a single breasted suit.

Considering the fact that Khaite was just founded in 2016, BAND-MAID × The Warning June 12, 2024 In Japan Show Poster shirt the journey of this brand thus far is quite remarkable. Founder and designer Catherine Holstein started the brand as an ode to American staples and all the classics that went along with it. Since its beginning, the brand has evolved into much more. Khaite’s first runway show in 2019 had every editor and buyer clamoring as one glamorous look after another came out. It was here that we were truly introduced to Holstein’s vision for the brand, and her S/S 20 collection was just the cherry on top. It’s rare that one major (and first-ever, might I add) runway collection can convince an entire industry that this is the brand to know, buy, and wear, but the elegance and drama of her last two collections had everyone drinking the Kool-Aid. While the brand hasn’t quite reached the same status as Bottega Veneta, its trajectory over the last two years has proved that it is on its way to the very tip-top. “Cate Holstein of Khaite is creating such beautiful, showstopping pieces. The craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable and something that everyone can appreciate. My personal favorite is their denim—the fit and wash are flawless,” says Shopbop’s fashion director, Caroline Maguire. And that’s the thing about Khaite—buying into the brand is buying into a very well-curated wardrobe that will never go out of style. “From the jeans to the shoes, this is definitely going to be the next It brand in 2020,” said a Who What Wear reader. Yes, iconic pieces are already highly praised, such as those zebra boots and all of the noteworthy knitwear, but to be simultaneously recognized for the subtler items in a collection, like denim and poplin shirts, means this is a brand that is destined for success.
