Luxury and show by Renata Molho Menswear collections for the 1998 spring/summer season feature soft but risque lines that appeal to anyone with an eye for luxury; to those with pronounced tendencies towards exhibitionism; to those who can carry off a disdainful pose.
The latest men's collections, heralding the 1998 spring/summer season, revolve
around a central theme of luxury: a look set aside for quite a few seasons.
This time around, luxury assumes many forms: a look total of "negation";
a disdainful attitude (see Prada's wide-leg calfskin knickerbockers) with
its wildly mismatched sportswear, demolished refugee shoes with rolled-down
socks; the look of luxury as exhibitionism,interpreted by Tom Ford for Gucci:
rhinestone-studded underwear, gold watches, crocodile shoes worn with imposing,
wide-shoulder suits (something of a parody of the '80s). The models sport
a feathering of gray at the temples: a human touch, lending realism and
intelligence to the overall effect.
