The Peril Of Imposing Fits
MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia|June/July 2023
Could the shift in work-from-home culture call for the "death" of conventional formal wear?
The Peril Of Imposing Fits

We have heard whispers of an impending economic crash - the elusive "free market boogieman" that rears its head once every decade - since the end of 2022. The fashion industry and fashion consumers alike are listening, and perhaps the emerging popularity of "quiet luxury" is simply a consequence of the divine providence of penny-pinching prudence. Quiet luxury has spotlighted the likes of The Row, Jil Sander, Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli. Minimalist appeal and exquisite simplicity aside, these labels share a common narrative - each providing understated elegance and ease of movement with relaxed silhouettes and proportions.

The shifts in fashion trends mirror the times we live in. At the height of 2020's social distancing, the trend at the time was space-enveloping, almost absurdist pieces that provided distance to the wearer from their surroundings. Outrageous hats, facial coverings, larger-than-life ensembles and gloves from the structured sleeves at Moschino's Spring '20 collection to the closing looks at Louis Vuitton's Fall/ Winter '22 collection alongside avant-grade showcases from Craig Green and Comme des Garçons.
