Lemaire

Review of Lemaire Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooPROSThe use of a rich palette of summer darks in garment dye fabrics, and when worn tonally, made a strong statement. ConsThe menswear when set apart from the womes didn’t appear as strong this season, as the layering of washed silks and play with sheers made the womens collection a true play between fashion and style.

Review of Ami Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooLuxury light, stripped bare, missing accents Emerging as a key theme for the mens June season, the trend for stripping back or keeping things simple. But today’s AMI collection was a case on simply not trying. In what could have been a show of looks 90% pulled from the retail store, this was another keen example that not everything needs to have a runway show. Especially when lacking a strong POV.

Review of Louis Vuitton Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooPROSSetting out his sartorial vision for Louis Vuitton men’s, Pharrell Williams expertly managed to weave in a compelling story of Indian dandyism which broke away from euro-centric standards and will set it apart in the market.

Review of Saint Laurent Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooPROSThe beautifully rich palette of summer darks and vegetal shades from womenswear translated seamlessly to the menswear collection, especially when applied to semi-sheers. ConsHaving defined his ideal Saint Laurent man, it may be time that he took a break, as in a vacation or escape to break the mould or the ‘continuity’ of the broad shouldered, svelte silhouette of the last few seasons.

Review of Auralee Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooPROSSpring 2026 see’s the successful expansion into a broader range of lifestyle essentials with the great escape top of mind. ConsThe Auralee brand is riding high on a wave of super basics and refined lifestyle essentials, but innovation through fabric and fit will need to be kept to the forefront to remain relevant in an increasingly crowded market.

Review of Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooPROSThe design duo reinvigorated pyjama dressing for another summer season with the addition of unexpected casual layering and decadent embellished flourishes. ConsThe likelihood of these sets being worn head-to-toe everyday is unlikely, so styling direction for how to wear should be encouraged, even if that means sacrificing editorial control.
Vivienne Westwood

Review of Pronounce Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooPROSThe magic of the fluidly layered looks and colour composition – transitioning from light to dark – has made this collection an easy ‘buy’ for retailers who should back full looks to allow the customer to effortlessly build their own Pronounce wardrobe. ConsThe lighter touch was a new direction that worked for the brand, but the crafted elements which have been a signature should still be a consideration for next season.
Setchu

Review of Setchu Spring 2026 Men’s Fashion ShowBy Angela BaidooPROSSetchu was a well considered choice for brand name, as for spring 2026 Satoshi Kuwata continues to blend opposing concepts to create stand-alone garments which pull from both East and West. ConsThe baskets as skirt felt a little too on the nose, as these sculptural forms could have been utilised to reimagine tailored, or even denim silhouettes, even if that would mean they would remain as bespoke iterations.
