We are back with the journalist and critic Philippe Pourhashemi to review the Fall / Winter 2025 men's season. We discuss the Setchu runway debut at Pitti Uomo in Florence, and touch upon the meaning of and the need to put on a fashion show, Peter Copping's debut at Lanvin, the new direction at Dries Van Noten, and the shows of Auralee, Comme des Garçons, Rick Owens, and more. We talk about the continuous grotesquery at LVMH, as well as our surprise reactions to the latest collections from Kim Jones and Prada.Support the show

Tager man på weekendtur, er det som regel en tur væk fra ens hverdag og den daglige trummerum, men det er også en mulighed for at tage væk fra sig selv. Det prøver Kristoffer Dahy Ernst og Oliver Enné i dette afsnit af 'Arbejdstitel', hvor destinationen er Firenze.  De er nemlig af den overbevisning, at hvis man tager afsted med et lyst sind og godt humør, så har man muligheden for at få et afbræk fra den version af en selv, der har en tendens til at falde ind i nogle kedelige rutiner derhjemme. På turen tager de også forbi modemessen Pitti Uomo, hvor brands og indkøbere fra hele verden rejser til for at blive opdateret på det nyeste inden for herremode. Her møder de Kasper Hostrup, der står bag herretøjbutikken Goods på Østerbro, og han deler generøst ud af gode restaurantanbefalinger og giver et tip til en særlig servering, man kan få i Firenze. 'Arbejdstitel' var inviteret til Firenze af Pitti Uomo. Holdninger i programmet er værternes egne.

Si conclude oggi la 107ma edizione di Pitti Uomo, famosa manifestazione espositiva dedicata alla moda maschile, iniziata il 14 Gennaio alla Fortezza da Basso di Firenze. All'ultimo giorno dell'evento sono già quasi 12.800 i compratori registrati. Dei quasi 13mila buyer segnalati dalla nota di pre consuntivo diffusa ieri da Pitti Immagine, la società che organizza i saloni fiorentini, 4.700 sono arrivati dall estero e rispetto all edizione del gennaio 2024 (la numero 105, alla quale è seguita quella di giugno), sono proprio gli stranieri, in crescita del 6%, a a guidare un edizione che Pitti Immagine definisce «molto positiva», pure se a fronte di presenze italiane stabili (ma i dati definitivi potrebbero riservare sorprese anche su questo fronte, positive, si intende). I dati sono un iniezione di (cauto) ottimismo per la moda maschile internazionale e per tutto il sistema del made in Italy. "Avevamo bisogno di una partenza per uscire da un clima di attesa e di incertezza", ha spiegato Raffaello Napoleone, amministratore delegato di Pitti Immagine, "La grande parte del merito va, inutile dirlo, agli espositori: primo perché hanno rinnovato la fiducia e l investimento nel salone; secondo perché hanno portato collezioni di grande qualità produttiva, di ricerca stilistica e con tanti elementi di innovazione. Non ultimo - ha aggiunto Napoleone - mi sembra che molti listini prezzi indichino un equilibrato rapporto tra giusta valorizzazione dei materiali e della manifattura e opportuna sintonia con una certa prudenza espressa dai consumatori". La difficoltà del settore della moda made in Italy è certificata dai dati: il fatturato nel 2024 è tornato sotto i cento miliardi di euro, soglia che aveva superato nel 2023 trainata dall'aumento dei prezzi. Secondo i Fashion economic trends di Camera Moda, quest'anno il fatturato si fermerà a 96 miliardi circa, in calo del 5,3 per cento. Il dato, che rispetto alle stime di settembre è peggiorato, "beneficia" della crescita che, comunque, hanno registrato i settori collegati alla moda, come occhiali, gioielli e beauty. I cosiddetti segmenti core, come tessile, abbigliamento, pelletteria e calzature, hanno registrato flessioni ancora più marcate.Raffaello Napoleone (nella foto), amministratore delegato di Pitti Immagine, è intervenuto ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni a Focus Economia.

Hvordan finder man sin egen stil? Hvad er man rundet af? Og hvem har egentlig været store, ikoniske modeforbilleder i den tid, Oliver og Kristoffer har orienteret sig i modebilledet? Det er nogle af de spørgsmål, de to værter beskæftiger sig med i det nyeste afsnit af 'Arbejdstitel', der handler om alt det, som alle er nødt til at forholde sig til, men som meget få vil indrømme, at de går op i: Personlig stil og kunsten at finde den. Det tager dem på en tur ned af memory lane med stop hos Kanye West, Thom Browne, Pitti Uomo, Tom Ford og mange flere. Dette afsnit er bragt i samarbejde med Zalando.

Our Copenhagen Fashion Week special continues! Clare sits down with Finnish menswear designer Rolf Ektroth.Last season, his hand-knits, made with Finnish yarn manufacturer Novita, were made available as pattern and yarn kits, so that home knitters could recreate his runway pieces. He loves macramé and hand embroidery, yet his collections have a modern street vibe that feels very polished. Perhaps it's because he's not actually a new name - Rolf Ekroth has been celebrated before, with glowing reviews in magazines and shows at Pitti Uomo before the pandemic. His label has had its ups and downs, he lost his backers at one point, but he kept at it. So, in part this is conversation about a career as a progression and taking the long view. It's about perseverance, figuring out what really matters to you and how we are all the sum of our experiences. It's also highly amusing - Rolf is crackup funny. And brilliant! Learn his name - we predict, it's going to be everywhere.Can you help us spread the word ?Wardrobe Crisis is an independent production.

We are back with Philippe Pourhashemi to discuss this past menswear season. We talk about the shows at Pitti Uomo, Milan, and Paris, from the strange department-store-bound debut of Marine Serre at Pitti Uomo, and an unexpectedly joyful show of Pierre-Louis Mascia, about how bad the Milan shows were this season, the gimmicks at J.W. Anderson, the impotence at Prada, about the grotesque spectacles that Pharrell puts on at Louis Vuitton, and how Japanese designers like Undercover, Sacai, Kolor, and the newcomers like Masu and Taakk continue to make Paris look creative. We go in depth about Dries Van Noten's last bow, the show itself, and Van Noten's legacy. We discuss the spectacle of the Rick Owens show, asking when is spectacle good and when is it not enough? And much, much more. Support the Show.

On this episode we are back with Philippe to discuss this past men's season shows at Pitti Uomo, Milan, and Paris. We talk about the contrast between Luca Magliano and S.S. Daley, Gucci, Prada, and Zegna (best of season in Milan), why Rick Owens was the show of the season and Yohji Yamamoto was a letdown, the continued elegance of Dries Van Noten, and Rei Kawakubo's uncharacteristic feeling of lightness, Hermès' uncompromising quality, why the Japanese newcomers TAAKK and MASU (not covered by Vogue Runway, but covered by us) made Paris exciting, and which small brands we loved and why we are going to lean into supporting smaller brands this year. We wonder out loud, how bad can Louis Vuitton and Dior get? We cheat a little in the end by discussing Galliano's Maison Margiela Artisanal show, because how could we not?!Support the show

Highlights of AW24-25 collection what was interesting from Details, Style, Textures, Silhouette, Colour, Elegant and design purpose. I've been following the shows that took place from Pitti Uomo, Milan to Paris, and overall some of the looks in menswear have been very wearable but focus on textiles and textures. Tailoring is huge as it always is, but most of all, it is oversized and loose tailoring with details and sporty. Tailoring is hugely important in menswear for my menswear. I've also like to mix sporty tailoring with classic tailoring. For me, the most stand out menswear has to be the following Neil Barett, Issey Miyake, Dries Van Noton, Botter and Fear of God America Symphony collection. Have a look at them and let me know what you think?

Perched right on Christopher Street in the West Village, you'll find J. Mueser, the namesake bespoke tailor that's been featured in GQ, Vogue, and WM Brown Magazine, just to name a few. We chat a lot about the usual suspects, like his vinyl and watch collection, but we also talk about the nuance behind collecting and how it relates to bespoke tailoring, and J. Mueser specifically. Jake touches on how the design process and collecting share a lot of the same attributes, and in this case, all in good taste. If you've ever felt unsure about your decision to own multiple iterations of the same item, this ones for you. Alright, please enjoy, Jake Mueser, for Collectors Gene Radio.- J. Mueser - https://jmueser.com/

This episode is the first time we have had brothers as guests on the podcast. Surprising that it has taken us this long, but it was worth the wait. We have local friends Zack and Mitch who both have influenced each other along their collecting journey. Additionally, many of you may have run across Mitch's website, Menswearmusings.com! We get the inside scoop on his journey and passion for tailored clothing, the experience of going to Pitti Uomo in Florence, and how welcoming the menswear community can be. There is a significant amount of overlap here with watch collecting, so these topics seem to fit like a well tailored jacket, enjoy!

Today we're chatting with the Men's Fashion Director for Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, Bruce Pask. Bruce has had an amazing trajectory in menswear over the last 30 years, especially for someone who grew up in Southern Arizona. Today's conversation on collecting is a little different than something I have done in the past. As a Fashion Director of two of the biggest names in the industry, Bruce's role is really curating collections for well, all of us. Curating for multiple brands has become a fairly easy task for him as he's always got his eyes on the next thing, but what really goes into curating collections and how it relates to collecting as a whole is what I wanted to know. Collecting as a hobby can come in many different forms, and Bruce is the perfect example of that. And without realizing it, he also collects one very specific item of clothing which has become a staple in his everyday wardrobe. It's safe to say that we could all learn something from Bruce. But for now, please enjoy Bruce Pask, for Collectors Gene Radio.B.

In het altijd zonnige en bovendien Opel Astra-luwe St. Moritz stappen de snobs even van de latten en ín de rol van verslaggever, daar het hen ontgaan was zich te moeten melden voor dienst bij de Tonny's. Vanaf de plek waar wereldsnobs komen skiën (lees: lunchen, paraderen en flaneren) halen ze herinneringen op en worden zich gewaar van een verwaterde ballotage. Daarnaast fantaseren de snobs over een nieuwe studiowijn. Via honeytraps en het spionerende, schonere geslacht, belanden ze bij een slechts met een viool bewapende gentlemen spy. Een man zo buitensporig flamboyant en mysterieus dat je je afvraagt hoe kan dat hij Nederlands is.

Elk jaar weer eist kerst vele relaties en familiebanden - de lieve luisteraar van de Snobcast kan ongetwijfeld een snobpeppertje gebruiken. De snobs tonen zich welwillend met deze kerstbonus. Ze verlossen luisteraars met antwoorden op prangende snobvoedingsproblematiek. Titus de Trui kan, mits hij goed oplet, in deze aflevering een verscholen boodschap ontwaren met daarin een hint over een acceptabel eindejaarscadeau. En de snobs blijken onverhoopt in het OV te zijn beland.❤️ Insta: @desnobcast

De snobs serveren u kerst uit blik. Hoe feestelijk wil je het hebben? Ze houden een boerenlunch met steur en truffels. Onze ridder Yvo laat zijn diploma zien. Het café is weer geopend en ditmaal mishandelen de snobs niet langer een kat voor een kopje koffie: Yvo's oog is gevallen op het zwarte goud uit Jamaica. Verder geeft Jort een eerste reactie op de commotie rond zijn grasgroene kersttrui annex jas. Ten slotte een vrolijke proost op kersemus, met Tiny en Lau.

Snobwaardig scheren kun je leren - maar welk mes moet mee op reis? En passant behandelen de snobs de oprukkende snor, die merkwaardig genoeg weer helemaal en vogue is. Jort was onverhoopt onder de indruk van een ritje dat hij recent maakte in een elektrische Porsche, maar verloor zijn hart niet. Wel zag hij aanleiding om nostalgisch te worden over een heden ten dage antiek, maar op het moment van verschijnen flagrant futuristisch autootje. De Lagonda, een elektrische Aston Martin, gelanceerd in de jaren '70. Die mocht wat kosten, met name het ontwerp van het dashboard, dat het viervoudige budget voor de ontwikkeling van de gehele auto opslorpte. De lancering werd een bescheiden anticlimax op het landgoed van een gevatte snob: de 13th Duke of Bedford, waar Jort letterlijk nog een boekje over open doet. Verder behandelt Yvo de vette haren van Jort met een grondig shampootje en kijken de heren TeeVee, alwaar zij meegluren bij de prille liefdesperikelen van Jona en zijn teerbeminde Jolijn.

Hij gaf zijn geld uit aan booze, birds, horses, casino's en fast cars. De rest smeet deze Britse voetbalheld over de balk - al zegt ‘ie het zelf. De snobs memoreren hem terwijl zij zich vergrijpen aan een Blanc de Blanc van Ruinart. Terwijl Yvo zijn eigen voetbalverleden deemoedig opbiecht, verliest Jort onverhoopt zijn hart aan een boer die bedankte voor de bak. En alsof dat nog niet voldoende begrip is voor het volk, presenteert Yvo een waardig alternatief voor het vermaledijde vanilleboompje in de auto.❤️ Insta: @desnobcast

Terwijl de helden van de marechaussee daadkrachtig en rechtvaardig optreden tegen het met fiets bewapende tuig dat dat nodeloos privé-jets hindert op Schiphol, zoeken Jort en Yvo afleiding bij een megalomane maharadja die in plaats van ontbijt een maagd verschalkte. Daarin vinden zij meteen aanleiding om die ándere maharadja te feliciteren met zijn nieuwe nevenfunctie als prime minister van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Ongetwijfeld hét startsein voor de zo zeer verlangde verheffing van het arme, Britse volk. Verder: aangifte wegens grensoverschrijdend tekstueel misbruik.

De snobs beginnen nu écht impact te maken. Met Land Rover als sponsor wisten zij op vernuftige wijze nieuwe bronnen voor footprint-groei aan te boren, en daar klinken zij op. Met? De ideale schoonzoon van moeders, en met Napoleon. Met al heel wat afleveringen snobkennis op zak is het tijd om onderscheid te leren maken tussen de gecultiveerde en geboren snobs. Deswege plaatsen zij naast de opgekweekte Lapo van laatstleden aflevering een heerschap bij wie de snobberigheid door de aderen stroomt: Paul Veenhuizen. Waar de een speelt met autootjes heeft de ander een landingsbaan in zijn Schotse kasteeltuin - verschil môt er wezen.

Terwijl de matige man rilt in zijn rijtjeshuis sympathiseren de snobs met de kleumende kasteelheren, die kou lijden in hun tochtige, overmaatse optrekjes. Daar kan geen heldhaftig stuk haardhout tegenop. Desalniettemin brengt Yvo stoutmoedig een prijzig pakje lucifers-met-een-luchtje ten tonele. In een ander ijdel waagstuk pogen de heren recht te doen aan de grootste Italiaanse playboy aller tijden, die zijn modelletjes (in de breedste zin van het woord) op maat liet maken. Dit alles onder het genot van een kopje koffie uit een kattenkont.

Ben je nu een Windsors of een Willem-Alexander, niemand ontkomt aan de aandachtige analyse van de snobs: van het potsierlijke pochet van Charles tot de kledingkeuze van onze koning. Om de bittere nasmaak weg te spoelen gebruikt Jort een radiante gin van Hollandse bodem. De snobs strijken neer tussen volvette tycoons en afgetrainde svetlanas voor een aangename lunch bij de beste beachclub ter wereld, en herdenken de tijd dat Bond zich nog mocht laven aan de girls die hem toekwamen. Mogelijk is er sprake van een (al dan niet kortstondige) terugkeer van een rubriek van weleer. Ze sluiten de royale aflevering af met een knus klapstuk: een koninklijke onthoofding.

Terwijl de snobs een aan hun gin & tonic nippen mijmeren ze over gentlemen coureurs die stijlvol de kist in slipten, en het race-team dat geen reserve-auto had (maar wel een reserve-jacht).Yvo verheerlijkt de vierwieler die een kind had kunnen ontwerpen om vervolgens zijn schoenen te poetsen met bloed en een oude damesslip. De heren sluiten af met een zieke date met de Broers van Tim H.

Een echte snob sneuvelt niet aan een courante ziekte als K, en tóch steekt Jort een sigaartje op. Om alsnog aan een snobwaardig einde te komen, dagen de viervoudig wereldkampioen kickboxen uit voor een duelletje. Jort doet uit de katoenen doeken door welk stofje hij hevig bedwelmd is. En wie maakte er in de privé-jet rechtsomkeert, omdat het in Afrika toch wel wat warm was?

Jort gaat nat met een biertje in zijn knuist. Voor eerherstel doet hij een drankje met Dries. Yvo smeert salie en majoraan tegen de verzengende zon. De snobs schepen in met Slavische hulpverloofdes in st. Tropez, en leren manifesteren met Selfhelp Sanny. Desondanks blijft Yvo dubben over zijn doelen.

De snobs worden bedreigd en kunnen daardoor nog meer begrip tonen voor de banlieue. Op veler verzoek beantwoorden ze vragen over hun polshorloges, Jort heeft er voor de gelegenheid eentje uitgekozen waar zelfs een blinde nog de tijd van kan aflezen. Ze gaan op huizenjacht in de Hamptons en Yvo verklaart hoe een kappersbezoekje John F. Kennedy en zijn vrouw fataal werd. Verder verdiepen de snobs zich in de wereld van de online coach en leren ze doelen stellen om rappo klappo 10 K te pakken.

Een diepere duik in de bouwstenen van een klassieke Negroni met een gin van Nederlandse bodem. Jort vertelt hoe Yvo 25 zakenlui in zijn eigen zwembroeken wist te hijsen voor een lunch in Ramatuelle. Om verdere verwijten van misogynie te voorkomen eten de snobs een vermetele woestijnheldin die sneuvelde in de Sahara. Ze laten de hondjes happen in Hermes en schrikken van de opgespoten lippen van een tweeling. Verder plugt Yvo schaamteloos zijn kokende vrind Big, tevens de eerste en laatste baas onder wie Jort ooit functioneerde.

Wat draag je op een begrafenis? Jort gaat jasje-dasje naar de groeve. Yvo oreert uit zijn vakantieboek ‘Reizen zonder trekhaak'. De snobs een graslanding op het estate van een vierdubbele duke en rijden vervolgens met 250 km/u over zijn tuinpad. Daarnaast leren ze scrotumscratchen in een nieuwe rubriek, waarbij licht emotioneel moet worden opgemerkt dat die lieve rappers nu al gemist worden. Dit alles onder begeleiding an een 19e-eeuwse Vermout. Al kauwgomkauwend, met dank aan het bescheiden budget van de Tonnies.

John Everard and Caroline Frost on European heads visiting Kyiv; the impact of sanctions on North Korea and Iran; and leaders and their ethics. Plus, they ask: what would you give up to save on energy? Also, we hear from our fashion editor Natalie Theodosi at Pitti Uomo in Florence and Henry Rees-Sheridan's weekly Letter from New York.
