![]() Nick assures me I am wrong he sits among an esteemed group of far more sophisticated tastemakers – see Harry Styles and Austin Butler – who have determined the giant check is the Big Trend of summer 2023. The successful heritage label is one that can offer something modern while making the traditionalists feel comfortable as well.Īnd what could be more traditional than a giant repeat check? Nick Foulkes, an icon of bespoke suiting, has always been a fan of the Duke of Windsor’s epic windowpanes, although the big check is something I have tended to associate with Weekend at Bernie’s or the pro-celebrity golf circuit. The suit is the subject of ongoing paranoia, especially as the modern professional has dispensed with it and so many of its accessories. Some brands, such as Berluti, are cleaving closer to their specialisms, whether leather goods or footwear, while others have opened up their houses to become broader and more “lifestyle” in range. Even the most illustrious names in tailoring, however, have had to reconsider the working uniform and Jessica Beresford has looked at the challenges and triumphs facing heritage labels as they adapt to changing styles.

Likewise Malick Bodian, who starred on our celebration cover last year and is as busy behind the lens as he is before it. Cover star Leon Dame has already featured on the cover of HTSI and walked dozens of catwalks: he brings a mercurial energy and sense of theatre to proceedings as one of the rare models who really inhabits a character. Along with the casting director and HTSI contributing editor Ben Grimes, photographer Amit Israeli and stylist James Valeri have put together a stunning snapshot of the industry. The “new supers” show how far the fashion world has changed. As such, the names that have arisen within the industry are changing, with menswear models, long the economic underdogs of fashion, emerging as its most exciting stars. Except this season I’ve seen as much menswear on the catwalks as I have clothes designed for women.
