Dior Men: If Kim Jone's latest collection looks like it was plucked straight from history books depicting French artists of Montmartre, that's because the designer's inspiration came from the ceremonial uniform worn by artists from the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Think: intricate embroidery, military buttons, dramatic coat-tails topped off with berets. To amp up the romance, Jones collaborated with Scottish artist Peter Doig whose Impressionist artwork can be found splattered on shirts and recreated in mohair knitwear. 

Loewe: Continuing his DIY arts-and-crafts format for his presentations, Jonathan Anderson showcased his collection in the form of a book, this time with the works from the estate of American artist and writer Joe Brainard. Anderson was particularly enamoured by Brainard's use of repetition, applying the technique to paintings of poppy which can now be found in Loewe's intarsia knitwear, tops made of three jumpers, as well as to a row of leather straps on punk trouser-boots. Brainard's paintings (like that of a small greyhound) are printed on Loewe's iconic Puzzle bag while his literary quotes are written on the Hammock bags.

Entitled "Ebonics," Virgil Abloh's latest collection is a celebration of Black culture, beginning with a spoken word film by Josh Johnson depicting a snowy mountain-scape which then bleeds into an indoor set lined with green marble walls. Rapper Saul Williams and poet-activist Kai Isaiah Jamal continue the performances, weaving through the collection of shamrock green found on exaggerated plaid and motocross outfits. Marble-print suiting and beautiful coats dominated the looks, from sweeping, vintage-esque fur to transparent trenches. Accessorised eclectically with cowboy hats, soccer scarves and an airplane-shaped monogram Keepall, the collection also evoked the style of travellers bustling through airports in the Seventies. 

Silvia Venturini Fendi means for this collection to be "therapeutic" which explains the plethora of puffers and piumino, but diagonally-lined, gracefully elongated or made statement, the pieces are anything but drab. With built-in layers of knitted sleeves as scarves as well as the reimagined logo doodled on robes and bags, one can imagine wearing the collection straight from bed and into a Zoom call. We're partial to the quilted culottes in burnt orange or lemon that can be worn across seasons. 

Ermenegildo Zegna: Set in a dystopian cityscape that bleeds into vignettes of conjoining rooms, Zegna's fashion film-slash-presentation is an artistic representation of today's reality, with a collection to match. Capacious coats, roomy suiting layered with turtlenecks and loose trousers in soothing camels and greys are shown easily transitioning from outdoors to indoors. 

Tod's: Whether you spent lockdown in the countryside or are dreaming of it, Tod's has a collection for it. The fashion film depicts a man hermitically cocooned in a cabin, trying out various cosy looks of argyle knits, Prince of Wales checkered coats, forest-green jumpers, quilted gilets and corduroy suits. The oversized leather goods stand out the most, from giant totes to messenger bags, while leather footwear, for which the brand is known, took a back seat to the Wellington boots and hiking trainers on display. 

Hermès: As with all Hermès collections, it's difficult to grasp the true craftsmanship in the clothing without getting up close as the attention to details is where the Maison shines, but it's immediately obvious that the silhouettes fall looser this season with joggers abound, and anoraks sitting lower and wider. But sophistication can still be found in the subtle colour-blocking—a fresh lilac shirt contrasted with orange stripes on a sweater-vest or pink trainers with an aqua blouson.
