AW16's best ad campaigns and why we need them!

While admiring this season's finest fashion ad campaigns, I Carrie Bradshaw-ly got to thinking - do we still need these?!

Best of the Rest: A round-up of my favourite looks this season

And there it is - another menswear micro-season wrapped up. We've seen 70s hippies at Moschino, 90s psychedelia at Gucci, naked kings at Commes des Garçons, British heritage marrying Parisian elegance at Dior and a celebration of the British seaside at Topman Design. What a trip! 

While this has probably been the best set of collections I've seen in years, there's still a long way for menswear to go when it comes to experimentation and boundary pushing.

Here, I've pulled together some of my favourite looks from some of my favourite brands which deserve shout out for showing something different, playing around with proportion, print and generally being less conservative and more experimental. Something the world is in dire need of - bravo!

V Man 24: The Decades Issue

For their 24th Issue V Man has decided the celebrate the trends and designers that defined every decade from the 1930s up to this one! 

Beautifully photographed by Benjamin Lennox and expertly styled by Tom Van Dorpe, the issue is on sale now! 

The 1930s - Ralph Lauren

 1940s - Louis Vuitton 

1950s - DSQUARED2

1960s - Prada 
1970s - Gucci

1980s - Dolce & Gabbana 
1990s - Calvin Klein

2000s - G-Star 
2010s - Jil Sander

I'm completely in love with this editorial, a wonderful idea for now and for reference. It clearly showcases the way fashion always comes back around and that some things are timeless. On another note, it terrifies me that G-Star is considered to define the 2000s... or anything at all for that matter.
