Les Hommes’ might have turned the dial down on their use of beads in their latest collection, but that does not mean that it’s any less glamorous. The spring collection is like a dreamy caravan of gold that is quickly approaching. Heavy on the use of satin and suede, it’s shaping up to be a rather expensive spring for Les Hommes. The luxurious satin numbers at times see overindulgent, but they are so perfectly matched with slouchy suede boots and sandals that bear just the right amount of strap. Honing in on monochromatic numbers of black, white and brown, Les Hommes’ flowing silhouettes perfectly accent the male form, often resulting in fabric meticulously pinched in all the right places to craft a stunning pair of billowing trousers. Finally, if satin, silk and suede are not lavish enough, Les Homme’s spring collection is deemed complete with a hint of sparkly glitz in the form of an exuberant beaded pants number.
I think the casting on this collection was a real misstep… darker, more exotic models would have worked better in my opinion. Plus the champagne-ash hair present on most models just doesn’t emphasize the garments, it dulls them.
