[Hypebeast] January 24, 2024 Weekly Digest
ð Are Skorts Going Mainstream in Menswear? TLDR: The traditionally feminine silhouette has appeared all over the Fall 2024 men’s runways, and it may become a staple sooner than you think. Why It Matters: Skorts are walking all over the Fall 2024 men’s runways. In Florence, British designer S.S. Daley paired a thigh-length skort with a sheepish knit sweater during Pitti Uomo 105, foreshadowing what was to come for menswear in Milan last week, and now in Paris this week. Fendi’s Fall 2024 collection housed a legion of pleated skorts in thick wool and slim cotton, introducing a “new attitude to everything,” per Silvia Venturini Fendi. Country-fried versions appeared on Louis Vuitton’s Western runway in formal suiting ensembles, ranch-dwelling denim looks and classic rodeo attire.

â¹ï¸ââï¸ Will the Air Jordan 4 Jump Over the Air Jordan 1 in 2024? TLDR: As hype surrounding the AJ1 eases, the AJ4 is poised to be Jordan Brand’s “it” shoe this year. Why It Matters: The well-known design is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year and is arriving in 2024 hot off of its in-house collaboration with Nike SB – one that breathed new life into the silhouette by introducing a myriad of improvements to comfort and durability, all while maintaining its original shape that sneakerheads know and love. Moving forward, this enhanced version of the sneaker will continue to see use as colorways such as the OG “Military Blue” (officially named “Industrial Blue” this time around) are said to be utilizing the revamped design.

𧣠Paris Fashion Week Men's FW24 Street Style TLDR: With varying conditions, Fall/Winter 2024 showgoers in Paris showed up with versatile and functional pieces, all while keeping cozy and showing of their best styles. Why It Matters: Some of the biggest trends from this season saw attendees sport various silhouettes of the classic overcoat. From dramatic lapels cinched at the waist with a belt to oversized leather blazers, puffers, varsity jackets and technical zip-ups. Fuzzy hats like the ushanka, beanies, headbands and caps proved to be the perfect accessory to complete the look all while staying cozy. This season, bright hues complement both classic and creative silhouettes. Layering saw coats worn under sports jackets and many opted for the classic hoodie under the puffer or leather jacket look. More so than other seasons, most showgoers opted for wearability and comfort, focusing on everyday tailoring.

âï¸ Dial In to Hell Phone, Bushwick’s Underground Techno Hotspot TLDR: The founders behind Hell Phone speak on their DIY approach to creating the community-centric club night. Why It Matters: Hell Phone, launched only six months ago, may have a strong name but its identity is amorphous. Founders Bree Olsson and Finlay Mangan refer to it as a “techno speakeasy,” though, more broadly speaking, it’s a DIY “multi-use space” for live music. There’s no consistent weekly schedule but events take place typically three nights a week and the founders will share the upcoming roster on the Hell Phone Instagram. “It’s the ethos of Hell Phone to be community-minded, not profit-first,” Mangan says. “We’re driven by wanting to add something meaningful to this scene that we love. Diversify the scene of places that you can go dance is quite cool.” Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
ð Barbour Celebrates 130 Years of Heritage and Innovation at Intimate Pitti Uomo Event TLDR: As Barbour ushers in its 130th anniversary, the British lifestyle label kicked off 2024 at Pitti Uomo, introducing its new season Heritage+ collection. Why It Matters: Taking to its Florence flagship store, Barbour held an intimate party welcoming fans of the brand, fashion figures, and menswear enthusiasts to celebrate its rich legacy. Hypebeast also held a panel talk exploring the power of heritage, what it means to a contemporary consumer, and how Barbour channels its century-long history through its latest collections. Set against the backdrop of five iconic jackets from its archive, the conversation brought together the brand’s director of menswear Ian Bergin, as well as London-based fashion commentators Odunayo Ojo and David Hellqvist.
