WHO´S NEXT?
Spring/Summer 2024 Menswear
written Chidozie Obasi
There’s a common narrative regularly recounted about the importance of fashion’s diversity problem that has become increasingly ubiquitous. It’s a somewhat depressing dichotomy: it doesn’t just stop on the runways (a prevailing place where it fails to represent bodies and beauties of all kinds) but it’s steeped into the backbone of our system — which, only recently, has learned to eulogise the empowering dynamics of inclusion.
From the frontline to the backstage of fashion, the casting process is a failsafe avenue to ensure that the D&I (reads: diversity and inclusion) conversations continue apace, and this story is one such example: young and established faces of the modeling world were brought together under one roof, showcasing the very best Spring/Summer 2024 fashion while celebrating the potency of representation in its wildest glory (see our live footage for further evidence). But there’s more to the story. For Spring, suiting has swept across the runways: no longer relegated to its classic form, it has gained infinite variations—so, the new word in tailoring? The breezier, the better, as seen in The Attico’s sculptural pieces or Neil Barrett’s wear-anywhere cardigans. For fuss-free staples try key styles from Prada, Alexander McQueen or Tom Ford, and for a more understated – yet equally refined – approach, look to Valentino, Ferragamo and Zegna. Here, peruse LE MILE’s juicy picks and become the very embodiment of summer.
