Burberry RTW Spring 2024
Daniel Lee, previously known for his work With Botega Vanetta, has become the creative director of Burberry as of September 2022. Lee has created a fall/ winter collection showing us only half of his vision for the brand. However, on September 18th at the London Highbury Fields during London Fashion Week, we got to see the full direction in which he plans on going.

Daniel Lee has officially taken Burberry to the next level as a whole and within the clothing itself. Throughout his new spring/summer 2024 collection, the London community appreciates the attention to detail and commitment to the overall theme. The collection is an homage to British Themes such as fruits and English Meadows and there is an emphasis on British clothing styles that are fitting to the body. Daniel Lee’s vision allows for a more fluid collection that has multiple layers.
The floral prints give off a light and airy sensation allowing people watching to feel a sense of freedom. However, when discussing the asymmetric seams, fun prints, and sharp cuts throughout the collection, one could say Daniel Lee is reinventing the traditional trench coat we all know and love.

Now seeing the full direction in which Burberry is headed, it can easily be said that the house is in good hands. Daniel Lee has proven twice that he can take an ever-so-loved brand and not change it but enhance its attributes while also adding his personal touch.

Alexander Wang is reimagining the male look
Alexander Wang has taken the classic male look and modified it into something Unique. It’s been seen before but most certainly not like this.

On October 26th, 2023, Alexander Wang released his Menswear 2024 Resort line, first shown on his official Instagram. He created this line to bring a different light to the classic male look and did it by mixing outerwear, workwear, and suiting.
Many different aspects of this line make it phenomenal. The layering adds different perspectives to proportions allowing for a larger range and versatility. Each layer and piece of fabric is unique to the specific outfit, when looking there is a wide variety of materials and different kinds of accessories, giving the collection that armor-like aesthetic. The Rocco bag was first launched in 2009 and is not only making a comeback but is the new star of this collection, the main accessory. Wang told Vogue Runway, “When people started asking me for the Rocco again, I said, ‘are we really there yet? Are we really back here?” The truth is we are because Wang has officially given these bags relevance once again. Wang also told Vogue Runway, “I felt like it was just literally yesterday when I thought, ‘there’s too much Rocco,’ we need to purge.”

Some of the textures and fabrics that can be seen throughout this collection are, cotton, silk, leather, ruffles, and fur. Wang combined different fabrics that all nicely mesh not only in the look but in the color scheme too. By adding the Wide toe shoe to every look, it gives it a sense of uniformity just like a traditional suit although when working our way up the pieces we can find a different assortment of belts, cow print fur coats, leather jackets, trench coats, and even these chunky silver chained necklaces many of the models are seen wearing. Although there are so many different aspects to these pieces there is a sense of cohesiveness throughout the line. Each piece nicely fits together.
When looking at the colors there is not a wide variety, for the most part, Wang stays within the neutral and silver tone. There are some colors seen throughout the collection and although those pops of colors allow for a nice breakaway, they are mostly overpowered.

This collection bends all norms for menswear in clothing while also still allowing that same charm that comes in the traditional style. In every layer or piece, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
