Lanvin Fall 2008 by Lucas Ossendrijver

When he started work on Lanvin’s menswear for fall, Lucas Ossendrijver knew he wanted to go in the opposite direction from the style that has made the collection a fashion editors’ favorite. Previously, all the fabrics were washed to give the clothing a lived-in, louche character. Here, everything was crisp and defined, to fit a new structured silhouette: The double-breasted jacket of the suit that opened the show was almost boxy in the breadth of its shoulders. After the show, Ossendrijver talked about wanting to convey the idea of boys growing up too fast, so that their clothes were always too big or too small. (Raf Simons was also inspired by such moments of transition—do you think these mythical “boys” have any sense of the sway they hold over the vanguard of men’s fashion?) Anyway, that notion determined the dimensions of jackets cut larger and trousers shrunk to fit just above the ankle, often with a ribbed cuff, like sweatpants. It was especially odd in a camel suit.

The “grown-up” clothes—like a long, lean topcoat or a cardigan jacket (worn over a waistcoat, crisp white shirt, and flesh pink silk tie)—looked better. But tradition with a touch of iconoclasm has been a Lanvin signature since Ossendrijver started working under Alber Elbaz at the house, and here, it was simply the shapes that had changed. Elsewhere, he extended the dressy/casual dialogue with coats that wrapped with the ease of a bathrobe, and he pushed the technology of the collection with great success. A coat had the dull, rubbery sheen of neoprene, but it was actually one layer of silk wool bonded onto another. Despite the new structure, coats and jackets had a lightness that was achieved by removing linings, bonding the insides with jersey instead. It was lightness that also made a soft suede slip-on look fresher than the patent sneakers (though it wouldn’t be a Lanvin show without a shiny shoe).

Valentino Fall 2008

Ferruccio Pozzoni, newly appointed creative director of menswear at Valentino, has one very distinct memory of the legacy he’s been hired to perpetuate. It’s an eighties-era image of David Sylvian—the lead singer of the group Japan who was once known as the best-looking man in the world—wearing a Valentino tux. But for his first Valentino collection, Pozzoni’s inspiration was actor Helmut Berger, renowned in his day for his exceptional good looks. Clearly, male beauty is a Pozzoni preoccupation, which is no doubt why his dream is to design men’s haute couture at Valentino—mere bespoke is simply too classic for his tastes.

There may have been glimmers of Pozzoni’s nascent ambition in the clothes he showed, particularly the eveningwear, with its revisionist pairing of black and midnight blue, a mink-lined cashmere coat, and a pair of graphic plaid pants, deep-pleated, beltless, and available to order. After all, his background is Prada, Miu Miu, and Brioni, which led one to hope for a hybrid of luxury and edginess (remember, there were collections when Valentino himself carried off the same juggling act with great success). The designer did make a cautious stab at independence from current trends by opting for a constructed shoulder in his jackets versus the soft Neapolitan tailoring that currently has menswear in its grip. And there were quirky sartorial touches—a three-piece suit in tan mohair had a matching tie—and some deluxe outerwear suggesting that Pozzoni has a grip on what's needed. He might have pushed things further, but perhaps caution isn't such a bad thing in these early days after the much-mourned retirement of Valentino himself.
