A Mod undercurrent pervades the ZZegna Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection where sartorial expertise becomes a high-impact expression of studied individuality, upbeat energy and relaxed elegance for a younger generation. Edgy over rebellious. A nod at a social movement that in the Sixties planted the seed of change, spawning an unfaltering fashion statement that ZZegna revisits through the art of tailoring, highlighted by taut and sleek silhouettes imbued with a youthful spin.

The collection Fall/Winter 2014-15 is full of movement and shifts focus by easily and effortlessly combining pieces. Private becomes public and vice versa: pyjamas suits are made of classic fabrics with traditional patterns, and coats resemble heavy robes. Styles are modified by changing materials and purposes: five-pocket denims are custom-made and become the unexpected culmination of bespoke tailoring.

How do you update the rock & roll collection from Spring/Summer 2014 and stay credible? By making it even more rock & roll. Hedi Slimane took the house of Saint Laurent one step further to becoming clothes for Rock Gods. And frankly, who wouldn't want to be amongst the coolest people on the planet? Granted the drainpipe trousers wouldn't fit half of the Saunt Laurent customer base but the show wasn't about skinny jeans. An array of beautifully tailored jackets and outerwear ranging

Ready-to-wear doesn't get more luxurious than at the House of Hermès. And the winter season is the ideal time to show innovative fabrics, i.e. expensive, such as a crocodile leather bomber jacket or leather jogging bottoms. Véronique Nichanian's collection for Hermès felt darker and less casual, with a focus on tailoring for the urbanite, rather than loungewear. High end, but low key. There are no branded logos or loud prints that you may find at other big fashion houses. There is no styling
