The Newest Names in Menswear
This season we celebrate all that it is to be a man and are proud to introduce some of the newest brands to Lane Crawford’s growing roster of leading names in menswear. From peerless technical pieces to the best denims and everyday essentials, these are your newest wardrobe must-haves.
Tim Coppens
Who
Belgium born and raised Coppens graduated from Antwerp’s prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
What
Clean, athletic styles with a focus on supreme craftsmanship and technical fabrics. With previous experience at Ralph Lauren RLX and Adidas, Coppens’ speciality is his luxurious interpretation of performance wear.
Why
There’s no better brand that epitomises this season’s fascination with the streetwear aesthetic.
NLST
Who
Designed by the dream team behind denim and leather label R13.
What
Pronounced “enlist”, NLST is a contemporary brand offering utilitarian basics with a distinctive military slant. The entire collection is crafted with Japanese fabric and heavy doses of detail and authenticity.
Why
Beyond anything you’ll ever find at your average surplus store, we particularly love NLST’s innovative take on proportions and silhouettes. Look out for the military-inspired jumpsuit.
1.61
Who
Kimberly Wesson and Aimee Cho launched the workwear-inspired label based on the mathematical golden ratio that is seen across forms in geometry, art and architecture.
What
Utilitarian separates with that beloved broken-in feel. Designed around the concept of a uniform, the collection offers a refreshing alternative to jeans with its utility pants and chino shirts.
Why
Exclusive to Lane Crawford in Asia, this cutting-edge brand fits seamlessly into your existing wardrobe, instantly elevating its status.
Siki_Im Den_Im
Who
Designer Siki Im was born to Korean parents in Germany and currently runs his multi-faceted fashion line from New York.
What
After cutting his teeth as a senior designer at Karl Lagerfeld and Helmut Lang, Im launched his own line in 2009. An extension of his eponymous line, Den_Im looks at reworking the classic fabric with a modern edge. Expect a collection of must-have jeans, tees and sweatshirts.
Why
His degree in architecture translates into razor-sharp essentials that are anything but basic.
Giles & Brother
Who
Brother and sister duo Philip and Courtney “Giles” Crangi.
What
Based in New York, Giles & Brother presents a collection of men’s jewellery that pioneers a true American spirit. You’ll love the nautical inspired brass and rope bracelets, and playful motifs of daggers and safety pins.
Why
The pieces each have a different story to tell, from baroque ironwork details to Greco-Roman artefacts, making them great conversation starters.
Oakley
Who
Established in 1975, this Southern Californian-based brand is a sports industry favourite.
What
An iconic brand among world-class athletes, Oakley most recently captured the fashion world when its mirror-lens sunglasses became a staple for editors and style insiders alike.
Why
Sport and style aficionados alike will love how perfectly Oakley marries performance innovation with style.
Vita Fede
Who
Born in Los Angeles, the label’s designer, Cynthia Sakai, is inspired by art, architecture and different cultures.
What
Intricately designed handcrafted jewellery for men with an emphasis on clean, classic shapes. Look out for this season’s slick take on the brand’s signature Titan cuff in matte black and silver spikes.
Why
Designed to be mix and matched to personalise your look, each piece looks just as good on its own as it does with your favourite watch.
