Da Man的Style Spring/Summer 2019目录

For decades, if not centuries, fashion has often been cited for being out of touch. The usual accusations tend to either lean towards “putting up impossible image standards” or “creating things that no one will ever think of wearing.” Naturally, these become especially common during Fashion Week. Responding to these kinds of criticisms more often than not feels like trying to herd cats. Those who know understand that there is much more to fashion shows, wildly creative designs and professional modes than perpetuating impossible standards and art for the sake of art. For one, just look at the stories of the models we have in this issue of DAMAN Style. There’s Jason Anthony who didn’t let the promise of a glamorous life convince him to abandon his pursuit for a…

Home to a bevy of major fashion houses and labels, Milan’s image as a stylish capital has well embedded. Milan is known to take menswear seriously with the meticulous designs and polished executions. They have their own standards, reputation to uphold, and legacy to protect. So what do the designers has to offer this time around? This season somehow feels more alive and loose, now that street wear is influencing the luxury fashion more than ever. High fashion brands have long been referencing street wear and urban clothing, but it’s nothing like we have seen these past year. Collaborations alone is not enough, they need to quickly adapt and attract the next generation of luxury lovers. It seems like the worlds of tailoring, sports, outdoor, active and street wear are…

Reinvention is a risky business, especially when it comes to Braun Büffel. As a leather goods and accessories brand, who for more than a century pioneered collections of classic elegance, changing that DNA into something else sounds nearly impossible to do. Loyal customers, for example, might not react suitably to the change. Yet styles have transformed drastically over the years, trends have shifted and customer behavior have changed. So while there are a lot of high stakes placed on the table, at the end of the day, a change is definitely needed for a brand to pull through, especially in this day and age where everything moves so fast. Meet Fabio Panzeri, Braun Büffel’s creative director, who understand what customers wants today. Originally aspired to be a comic designer, the…

There is something special about linen; the way it looks and moves with your body makes it a staple wardrobe for the summer. Yes, they wrinkle and they don’t hold shape well but that is why we love them. It is the most unobtrusive cloth known to man and summer would not be such a terrible affair without it. It’s simple but a scene-stealer. Made from flax fibers, linen is maybe one of the oldest fabrics in the world, dating back thousands of years. Fun fact, the Egyptians even used linen as currency back then. The image above was taken from the 2001 movie, The Tailor of Panama. Based on the 1996 spy novel of the same name by John le Carré, the movie was starred by Geoffrey Rush, Jamie…

Case in point: This spring/summer of London Fashion Week and London Fashion Week Men’s—or LFWM to be precise—has showcased the length and breadth of the British menswear market. Considered as a melting pot for creativity and innovation, LFW and LFWM brings together an international audience to shine a light on the talent from the city through catwalk shows, event activations, pop up shops and performances, alongside previews of collections from international design houses and award winning British designers. Of particular note, for this year’s spring/summer season, one of the biggest story were coming from London Fashion Week, when everyone wants to see Riccardo Tisci’s first collection for Burberry.…

Fashion and lifestyle brand Biasa, which means “ordinary” or “usual” in Indonesian, was founded by Italian-born designer and art enthusiast Susanna Perini back in 1994. As a label inspired by Indonesian lifestyle and Italian design ethos, they were the first on the island to offer visitors and residents sophisticated resort-wear collections along with treasures from around the world; hand cast homeware, objects d’arts and exotic handmade furnishings. On top of that, there is a certain luxury captured in the brand’s simple pieces from many of their collections that possess an effortlessness that actually encourages the wearers to push the boundaries of their dressing habits. Now the brand have grown to become an award winning and internationally recognized label, art space, with a growing reputation, fans, partners and customers not only…

Who would’ve thought that this Romanian model was once a professional rower. Florin Sopcu was discovered when he was 18 years old and since then he has walked for some of the biggest fashion houses around the world, from Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana to Roberto Cavalli, to name just a few. And he’s not slowing down. With big fashion campaign on the way he still manages to find the time to be a mentor with his own modelling agency, Dejavu Models Management, based in Bucharest, Romania. DAMAN: Hi, Florin, how are you doing these days? Florin Sopcu: Hi! I am just relaxing after intense presentations for the men’s collections and enjoying the first sunny days at home after a long winter. Also I’m preparing for a fashion campaign in…

Among the questions we asked to Michael Oder, there was one he declined to answer. It was about what he thought what his best trait as a model. Never one to boast about himself, he humbly left it for others to answer. So, Kevin Ziehenberger, who is Oder’s booker since day one, offered his views. “Sometimes this industry can be very hard, but Michael knows that everything can only work when all of us work together and give our best every single day,” he says. “So, I would say the best characteristic is his character. Because at the end of the day, if you are a pretty face people will book you once; but if you have the right character, then clients will fall in love with you and want…

1 IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO WEAR SUIT-AND-SHORT COMBINATION? Men’s short suits have become a staple of men’s summer fashion over the years. Shorts are not only reserved for sport or casual wear, it’s one of the signs of the ever-evolving nature of men’s fashion. So, the answer is yes. Short suits provide an old school class with an innovative fresh style that is perfect for any summer occasion. Make sure wearing light colors and light materials, or even you are wearing patterns. 2 YAY OR NAY: BUCKET HATS Since the ’90s music scene had a big presence at the shows, it’s official that the bucket hat is back and dominating the runway for this season. Not only plain, it came printed, textured and patch worked too. Bucket hat will give…

Change, in the world of fashion, is inevitable. Of course, as the famous saying goes, “fashion changes, but style endures.” So, for this spring/summer season, we once again see plenty of welcome change on the runways of Paris; but at the same time, the city manages to present all of these new changes in its own, timeless way. Something Old, Something New For spring/summer 2019, Paris Fashion Week Men’s saw quite a few new faces—or old faces in new roles. First and foremost—and the talk of the entire fashion world for months after the show ended—was Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton. The mid-2018 show was, essentially, the biggest test to his credibility as a creative director. Even today he has no shortage of detractors who would constantly tell anybody willing…

New York Fashion Week went through quite a shakeup for the spring/summer 2019 season. Alexander Wang, for example, showed his collection earlier in 2018, in June. Public School, meanwhile, was absent entirely, along with Helmut Lang. While the impact of these departures clearly resonated across the Big Apple’s fashion scene, NYFW S/S 2019 still managed to become something people still talked about a good six months later. With new designers making their debuts and established names showcasing their latest creations, there’s plenty to reminisce about when it comes to New York Fashion Week’s spring/summer 2019 edition. New Kids on the Block Now, most of the new debuts at New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2019 were in womenswear. There was Escada, a 40-year-old brand that was quite big in the ’80s…

Like many greatest names in the industry, Harry Halim’s story did not start conventionally nor it was predictable. A turn of events and interests in life during his college days in the mid 2000s eventually led him to shift his artistic prowess –which was previously filled with music, photography and graphic design-into fashion design. Fast forward to 13 years later, Halim have opened headquarters in Singapore and Paris (where he mostly resides to this date,) and established himself as a consistent and powerful household name. Known for his dark and sensual takes, Halim finally launched his first men’s collection, “Homme01” for this spring/summer 2019 season. A hardworker and highly organized Creative Director, we were lucky to be able to pick how his brilliant mind works. DAMAN: Can you tell us…
