Live Streaming... The F/W 2025.26 Fashion Shows
wwd.comMARK THE DATES: The next edition of men’s fashion week in Paris, slated to run from Jan. 21 through 25 in the French capital, will include Cifonelli on the official roster.
The Parisian bespoke tailor that launched ready-to-wear last September is to present its fall collection at the Musée de la Chasse, the city’s hunting museum.
But John Galliano is to sit out the week for a second season as it has yet to find a new manufacturing partner. It had hoped to return in January.
Separately, the Fédération Française de la Couture du Prêt-à-Porter des Couturiers et des Créateurs de Mode, French fashion’s top governing body, said it elected Boris Bidjan Saberi and Christophe Lemaire as full-fledged members of the union.
gq-magazine.co.ukFrom Tom Ford to Tommy Hilfiger, we've had some high profile transatlantic transfers sign on to the London Collections: Men schedule over the past few years - and it's good to see the trend continue this season with today's announcement that Coach will show its first-ever men's clothing line in the capital this coming January.
Launched in New York back in 1941, the accessories-maker has recently been busy expanding past its original leather-based offering under the guidance of new executive creative director Stuart Vevers (aka the Brit who previously put Mulberry and Loewe on the map).
By launching a fully fledged ready-to-wear menswear range (the brand has only previously offered the occasional piece of outerwear), Coach's LC:M show is the next logical step in its quest to dominate your wardrobe. While there's no news on exactly what sort of items the brand will be putting on the catwalk, if they're as good as it's recently launched line of men's shoes we've got high hopes.
"London is the standard-bearer of classic men's style but always encourages the next generation of talent," says Vevers of why he chose to show in the capital. "Though Coach is American to the core, that juxtaposition is the essence of our brand: blending the established with the cool."
Welcome to the club, Coach.

gq-magazine.co.ukAnother day, another transcontinental transfer to London Collections: Men. Following yesterday's news that John Galliano and Coach are both coming to the capital, news today is that Belstaff is moving its motorcycle-vibing mainline presentation fro Milan to London this January.
Founded in 1924 in Stoke-on-Trent and now with an impressively huge new outpost on London's Bond Street, signing on to LC:M further celebrates the British brand's return to its roots after it tested the waters with a one-off presentation for its Goodwood line back at LC:M in January last year.
Insider reports say that the upcoming line is inspired by the café racers and greasers you'd see on motorbikes outside British service stations in the Sixties. That means a collection injected with vintage badges, pins, studs, riding suits, bandana prints and, of course, a healthy showing of the label's near-legendary, four-pocket motorcycle jackets.
Welcome home, guys.

wwd.comARMANI’S CHOICE: Giorgio Armani continues to support young designers by hosting the show of Edmund Ooi at his Armani Theater on Jan. 17, the first day of the upcoming Milan Men’s Fashion Week. “The initiative to support the new generation of designers, which started a few seasons ago, continues to excite me because I concretely see the results and I try to keep an international perspective,” Armani said, pointing to the fact that Ooi was born in Malaysia, where at age 19 he received the Best Avant-Garde Designer award, and he now lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium.
“I’m incredibly honored that Giorgio Armani chose me to show my collection in his beautiful theater,” Ooi said. “For a young designer like me, words are not enough to express the emotion and gratitude to be able to unveil my work and the things I trust to the world.”
Previously, Armani put his theater at the disposal of emerging designers including Andrea Pompilio, Stella Jean, Julian Zigerli, Au Jour le Jour’s Diego Marquez and Mirko Fontana, Christian Pellizzari and Angelos Bratis.
