Relaxed Silhouettes with a Touch of Mode
Pre-collections have become a fixture in recent years. They are not only for checking the trends of the upcoming season but also offer items that can be worn throughout the season if purchased now, steadily increasing their importance. This season, Hankyu Men's theme is 'Soft Fiction'—a style that infuses a contemporary sense of relaxation with a subtle edge.
The Giorgio Armani coordination perfectly embodies this theme. The blouson, inspired by rider's jackets and crafted from the brand's best-selling fabric, is made of stretch mesh. By styling practical, realistic items within the 'Soft Fiction' theme, one can achieve a subtle yet sophisticated differentiation in fashion.
The Key to a Modern Look: How to Add Edge
Among the 2016 SS pre-collections, Maison Margiela demonstrated a masterful approach to adding edge. The coordination of a wool-silk blend suit worn directly on the skin, layered with a single-breasted trench coat made of linen with a coated finish, exudes a unique and sophisticated atmosphere. The boots, featuring embroidery to mimic python, add a touch of craftsmanship.
Meanwhile, Neil Barrett's biker jacket, crafted from eco-leather and eco-suede, is also noteworthy for casual wear. The coordination, composed of items incorporating the latest essence not only in material selection but also in silhouette and design details, boasts high versatility, instantly elevating one's style.

Brioni's style stood out most distinctively within the tied-up looks. While traditionally focused on classic styles, the new collection imbues suits with the brand's 'Second Skin' philosophy. The short-length jacket with narrow lapels paired with slim-tapered trousers creates a decidedly modern impression. The choice of a pin-collar shirt to complement the suit is also exquisite.
Additionally, new arrivals include small leather goods like wallets and bags, which are in high demand for spring. This collection offers valuable information not just for fashion enthusiasts but for anyone seeking useful items, so be sure to check it out.
