Effortless Mode Styling

While maintaining an air of luxury, the runways of various brands are showcasing increasing diversity. The reason behind this lies in a more realistic approach to mode. The collections are increasingly presented not as runway ensembles, but as outfits for actual wear. This season's representative items blend elements of sport, street, and military, appearing at HANKYU MEN'S TOKYO and OSAKA in forms closer to everyday wear.

Within this trend, a key keyword emerges: "effortless." This term, signifying a relaxed attitude, points to the current direction in men's fashion. It's about wearing mode brand clothing in a more personal, real-world context. This philosophy has led to the theme for HANKYU MEN'S TOKYO and OSAKA: "PORTRAIT OF A MAN."

Various Forms of "PORTRAIT OF A MAN"

The catalog "THE STYLE MODE EDITION Spring＆Summer 2015," which outlines the direction for HANKYU MEN'S TOKYO and OSAKA this season, features 33 looks and items, ranging from the maisons presenting runway shows to the edgy brands gathered at 'GARAGE D.EDIT.' Each has been captured through the lens of the "PORTRAIT OF A MAN" theme.

Gucci proposes a sophisticated take on adult marine style, blending a fresh aesthetic with modern touches. The jacket's lapels feature stripes, and cropped trousers lend a sense of lightness. The bit loafers on the feet are finished with a vintage treatment, contributing to an "effortless" mood. Meanwhile, Alexander McQueen showcases a jacket and trousers ensemble that masterfully combines different patterns through tailoring expertise. The overall silhouette, emphasizing a vertical line within the brand's signature boxy form, is designed to flatter the wearer.

Victor & Rolf presents items that skillfully blend basics with mode. The trucker jacket with a ribbed collar exudes refined individuality when worn layered, with the inner shirt tucked out.

The above is merely a glimpse of what is featured in "THE STYLE MODE EDITION Spring ＆ Summer 2015." After exploring all the styles and items available at HANKYU MEN'S TOKYO and OSAKA, why not discover your own unique "PORTRAIT OF A MAN" look?
