VOGUEHOMMANIA

SAILOR BOY • Overalls, military orseaman’s uniforms, the functional spirit continues to be the golden influence for men’s style this season.

ANATOMY OF A GESTURE • Thanks to the experience and the thrill of tradition, made–to–measure remains one of the noblest arts known to man.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR • The season’s fragrances may be less predictable but they are certainly more textured, full of colour and character. Breaking with tradition, they herald in a new age of creativity and liberation.

GENDER FLUIDS • Men’s cosmetics have evolved over the years to keep pace with trends and expectations. A new age is now dawning, with the latest generation of products taking their cue from women’s skincare problemsandsolutions.

TIME SUSPENDED • Head of watch sales for Christie’s Americas, Rémi Guillemin explains how these timepieces are objects of culture, craftsmanship and legacy.

PERFECT FIT

PERFECT FIT • Having learned early on the impeccable cuts of Savile Row, IDRIS BALOGUN honed his skills at Burberry then Tom Ford before starting his own label, Winnie New York. A career built on transmission.

HELMUT NEWTON, AGENT PROVOCATEUR • What to make, in today’s light, of the German photographer’s hypersexualised work? For the one–hundredth anniversary of his birth, a documentary of interviews with the women he photographed (Helmut Newton: The Bad and the Beautiful) and an excellent biography (Helmut & June. Portraits croisés) offer a deeper perspective on Newton’s pointedly ambiguous legacy.

NO MADS

THE KING • Sporting true Brit elegance and a killer smile, actor JOSH O’CONNOR is hot property. His career took off in earnest when he slipped into the apparel and erring ways of Prince Charles in the TV series “The Crown”. Which is no small paradox for this staunch, erudite republican. The young actor, who’s just turned 30, intends to carry on dividing his time between cinéma d’auteur and Shakespearean theatre as opportunities come his way.

THE COLLECTOR

FREEDOM

CULTURE VULTURES • A Native American headdress to accessorise a lingerie show, wax prints pillaged by Western designers, a white actress playing Nina Simone: cultural appropriation is no longer tolerated. Music and fashion are regularly called out for this banalised racism. It’s a fine line between appreciation and appropriation.

TEEN SPIRIT

THE FASHION LEGACY • How do you put the heritage of a fashion house to good use? Contemporary designers find themselves confronted with the onerous task of modernising brands that are centuries old, without betraying the spirit that the name has come to embody. What they inherit from the past can often be a burden, and striking a balance can lead them down a whole host of paths —from referencing to reinterpretation, from tradition to transgression.
