D&G

Mountains will loom large over the fashion conscious man this Fall. From the fur-lined parkas at Michael Kors to the hiking boots at Rag & Bone and Miharayasuhiro, alpine slopes seemed to be on every designer’s mind. Some focused on the downhill aspect: D&G took it all the way ski with snowboard/moon boot hybrids, shearling jeans, and layers of outerwear masquerading as knits. Others went for après ski: Victor Glemaud did cashmere knits in fireside-ready graphics and textures. At Moncler Gamme Bleu, Thom Browne designed quilted ski shorts, chord puffer bombers, and plaid union suits, all of it wearable both on and off the mountain. It also bears mentioning how many in the audience were wearing head to toe Gamme Bleu. Fashion types don’t usually wear the T-shirt to the concert, but a devoted following of snow-ready mountaineers proves the long-term viability of this look.
