WHITE is the international contemporary fashion showcase, but also a cultural reference for a generation of designers, stylists and artists. Attended by more than 17.000 buyers from the most important multi-brands in the world. WHITE is a prestigious platform for niche brands and the ideal stage for all those italian and international companies which recognize themselves in the White character, made of creativity, harmony and eco-ethical commitment. Thanks to our friend and alchemist May Moma (previous article here), the team of Lust in Fashion had the privilege to participate in the WHITE. After more than 3 hours of wandering along the stands we finally made a selection of your favorite designers.

Well, I can’t say that this won’t happen, but I can assure you, fashion is a lot more.

Suit 101: The white shirt – camicie su misura
Note: This is part of an ongoing series known as Suit 101. A white shirt can create emotion, even if it is just a shirt. And if we look at shirt-making as an artform and an act of craftsmanship, then we began to sense the possibilities of making this staple…something special. – Sonya Glyn Nicholson, Parisian Gentlemen Bespoke shirts are no stranger to the man’s world — akin to how stilettos are no stranger to a woman’s world (Feminists may argue otherwise but let’s not get too deep here). Like shoes, a dress shirt — with its various permutations of patterns and colours — can give the entire outfit a fresh look. This could explain…

But the mill is one part of the suit game. Tailoring is, in my opinion, what makes or breaks a suit. Thus, a post must be dedicated to the science and art of tailoring – in edible chunks of course. 1. Anatomy of a suit Like body parts, there are parts to a suit. Parts of a suit: I shall not go on a lengthy tirade on each parts of the suit but the image above is self-explanatory. If…

Suit 101: Vitale Barberis Canonico
When I hang out with my guy friends, the first thing I always — always — observe in a guy is the shoes, followed by the watch and belt. If they have a formal wear on, the white shirt, the suit, the way their trousers drape around their ankles, socks (it matters!), cufflinks (if any) and the choice of adornment (pocket squares, ties, bows etc). Yes, I am that anal despite growing up in a country that does not have a strong suit culture. It did not help that I lived in Milan for almost six months, and have a strong interest towards menswear, particularly the suit. When it comes to the suit, the…
