Jeremy Strong in Loro Piana. ’24.
Fashion boy. Jeremy Strong always dresses with a hint of aloof, bolstered by luxury.
Here, he’s total fuck-boy in white suit, black loafers and watch.
Saddling him with sophistication, we’ve floral tailoring: a youthful bloom disintegrated to petals, so that the unexpected deconstruction strikes centre stage.
To make sense of this look, let’s coalesce these floral scratchings to full flower; the fashion journey: morsels of success/ beauty building to bright celebration.
When both a career, and an awards night, bloom.

Dior Men manages masculine and androgynous, reworking heavy fabrics into a clean character.
Gwendoline Christie- case in point- saddled in billowy layers, impressing genderless power play.
Those midnight layers hint at deeper meaning, and that formlessness, at concealment, an exercise in subtlety, an art, perhaps.
And let’s be true, the unnecessary expense of brand name, fully delivers art world.
This is why Gwendoline sits front row at fashion shows- in that look.

This, perhaps proof why sheer dressing works. It’s fundamentally playful, as Ashley demonstrates, beginning with a high pony.
A black bodycon leotard suggests shapewear, thinly disguised flesh, fitted, in turn, to a mesh dress. Gives sheer enjoyment, rather than overt display of form.
And those Cleopatra-gold earrings.
The look, grounded by subtle strappy heels, effortlessly matched to the dress by girly, mute ribbons.
