But we’ve witnessed a shift in recent years, with many designers dispensing with hard-line categories and adopting a more fluid approach: featuring womenswear in men’s shows and vice versa. Yet this season, creative directors managed to steer clear of nostalgic tropes by leaning into more traditionally masculine details, whether it was Victoria Beckham’s boxy tailoring and hip-skimming waistbands, or Bally’s oversized outerwear and sturdy buckled brogues. Elsewhere at Prada – a brand known for being reliably unreliable in its direction of travel – it was all about reconfiguring classic ’60s silhouettes via black slim-fit trousers paired with offbeat boat-neck tops and flea market-inspired faux furs.
