Multiplicity

“Visibility is essential for change.

We can’t be what we can’t see.“

Michaela Coel

The Fall/Winter men’s directions reveal a more expressive, playful, and layered view of masculinity. No longer confined by rigid codes, this new language of dress embraces contradiction, lightness, and personal identity. Classic elements, tailoring, sportswear, and utilitarian shapes are reimagined through unexpected proportions and styling. Softness meets strength, humour meets elegance, and tradition lives alongside subversion.

This multiplicity reflects a cultural shift, where men are encouraged to explore a broader emotional and aesthetic range. While research shows a return to more conservative expressions of masculinity, these directions offer another path. A way of being that makes space for vulnerability, creativity, and change. Visibility matters, when new possibilities are seen, they become easier to imagine and embody. Style becomes more than expression, it becomes an exploration, a way to redefine what masculinity can look and feel like.

1/ Beyond the Horizon

These clothes express individuality while acknowledging legacy, history, and the codes of work culture. Dressing up becomes a personal statement rather than a uniform, signaling identity, not conformity. Through styling, combining and material choices, it claims formality as a space for self-expression. In a time of shifting values and social divisions, the codes used navigate class, culture, and belonging.

2/ Roots of Renewal

This direction is inspired by the durability and functionality of workwear and outdoor clothing, reimagined through layered silhouettes and expressive materials. Warmth and textured materials are comfortable. The garments are built to last, both physically and symbolically. It is a vision of dressing that supports resilience and stability, creating the heirlooms of tomorrow.

3/ A New Kind of Freedom

A playful and imaginative approach to menswear, where elements of fantasy, surprise, and childhood nostalgia are combined. Softness becomes strength, dressing is infused with humour, colour, and a sense of freedom. Creativity is used to express irony, not to detach, but to reconnect with real feeling and meaning. This is a soft, gentle rebellion, a call for sincerity, imagination, and the joy of being fully oneself.

4/ The Power of One

Tension is created through clean mono colours, architectural volume, and interresting material combinations. The silhouettes feel both grounded and forward-looking. Material innovation offers function, tactility and volume. The garments are softened through imperfections, shifts and small distortions. The sense of stillness becomes a statement of confidence, control and autonomy.
