Jean Touitou translated his interpretation of Britishness into a vision for his fall 2016 men’s collection. Taken literally, this could be seen in the use of a range of checks and a greater profusion of color than is usually his wont, especially red.

With the Nineties trending in Paris, obvious references to the period can be a temptation. Stephanie Hahn steered clear of them, producing an athletic collection with a deluxe feel that harked back to the ravers of Manchester’s famous nightclub, The Haçienda, mixed with English huntsmen dressing.

In the supersize sweepstakes this fall men’s season has become, Jonathan Anderson has surely secured the prize for the biggest backpack. The scale of a bar fridge, it sags under the weight of the Army green calf leather.

Sébastien Meunier came over all touchy-feely with his fall collection for Ann Demeulemeester, which he described as an ode to a modern-day Adonis. Textural effects abounded as the designer used materials including mohair, fil coupé and an alpaca-silk blend to create deep-pile effects on glossy coats, jackets and pants.

Nothing evokes the Nineties more than a pair of super-tight cycling shorts styled with a nylon bomber or an elongated knitted sweater.
