GQ Australia x Coach Menswear Launch






Earlier this week, New York's luxury leatherware label, Coach, collaborated with men's magazine GQ Australia, to host a night dedicated to bringing in their latest menswear collection. On Tuesday eve, the historical Queen Victoria Building boutique played host to the launch event, attracting many fashion devotees from around town.




The collection features minimal logo embellished leather ware that is retrospective in aesthetic. The focus in the menswear collection is minimalism, bordering on the edge of Bauhaus and Post-Modern. Cleverly panelled stripes are present amongst some of the technological accessories, whilst the contrasting earthy colours and pops of brights of the wallets abring life to the collection.’




According to Wayne from GQ, key styles for this Autumn/Winter include bright and dark hues of orange, tartan, mismatching patterns and tones, and sports luxe, all of which are straight from the European menswear shows and collections. The more daring looks included Mountaineering parkas and puffer vests, grunge as inspired by Saint Laurent Paris's Hedi Slimane's revival of the rebellious movement and Neo-Futurism reflecting the trend that Dior Homme has put in motion with their latest collection.

"Heritage Square" by Christoffer Aguilar





The city streets are filled with sartorial wonders who capture the eyes of those who truly look the finer details. Elegant masculinity is a look and personality which has risen in the last few years, resulting in the comeback of a lost and found men's wardrobe essential - the pocket square. Street style photographers worldwide have caught onto this, and this editorial gives viewers a chance to see how an outfit's dynamic changes in different environments throughout one city and how one outfit becomes an extension of one's personality with the addition of one simple accessory.



Sophie Robertson is from Atoll, and is a designer of uniquely patterned scarves and pocket squares, giving men and women a chance to incorporate a piece of art into their daily wear. Coming from London, the city that cradles the masterful tailors of Savile Row, she knows the highly tailored man's demand for pocket squares is high. What's even more special about her pieces is that every pocket square and scarf's print is based on the designers underwater photography in the pristine Great Barrier Reef, a testament to her photographic and fashion design skill. With her name firmly secured in the mouths of dapper men all over, Sophie's squares will be featured in the upcoming July issue of GQ Australia.
