The year 2019 is poised to begin with a bang in the fashion world, as the industry prepares for the highly anticipated men’s fashion shows and haute couture events in January, followed by the traditional Fashion Week. In addition to these significant gatherings, certain designers are set to capture the spotlight this year with exciting news that is sure to make waves in the fashion world.
One designer who will undoubtedly dominate the fashion scene in 2019 is Hedi Slimane. Already causing a stir in September with his debut show for Celine, Slimane is set to steal the limelight once again in January. This time, the French designer will present his very first menswear collection exclusively for the fashion house, which is sure to draw a crowd. During the last Fashion Week, Slimane showcased a mixed collection with a few menswear looks, but this upcoming show will focus solely on menswear. According to the tentative schedule released by the French Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion, the show is expected to take place on January 20th at 8pm, serving as the closing event of Men’s Fashion Week.
Another designer who will be eagerly anticipated during the upcoming Men’s Fashion Week in January is Kris Van Assche, the former creative director of Dior Men. Van Assche will unveil his first collection for Berluti, a brand where he was appointed as the artistic director in April of last year. While a few creations and a debut campaign have already given a glimpse of the brand’s revitalization under Van Assche, this runway show will provide further insight into the new direction of the prestigious fashion house. The show is currently scheduled for January 18th at 1pm.
Glenn Martens, an esteemed Belgian designer who serves as the artistic director of the Parisian label Y/Project, will also be closely observed in 2019. However, Martens will be absent from the fashion capital of Paris this season as he presents the brand’s latest collection during the highly regarded Pitti Immagine Uomo. This prestigious trade show in the menswear industry has invited Martens as a special guest, ensuring that the event will not be missed by the fashion world. The Pitti Immagine Uomo is scheduled to take place from January 8th to 11th in Florence.
