FENDI

It was grey and glam at Fendi. Traditional wool fabrics were teamed with metallics, beading and leather. Beauty had a glam rock edge with smoky eyes and wet-look hair. The contrast of matt and shine was artfully presented on the Fendi runway.

ZEGNA

Zegna presented minimalist tailoring and monochromatic grey looks in a way that feels fresh. Cashmere and recycled wools were highlighted throughout the collection and made for a relaxed but rich-looking silhouette. Beauty was natural and the hair was v nonchalant with the model's natural hair texture being embraced and amplified.

Tones of grey on the Zegna runway are clean and sharp.

MARTINE ROSE

Fashion Editor, Anna Dello Russo, once famously put forward the idea of wearing a coat as a dress in her hit single ‘Fashion Shower’ and we love how Martine Rose presented this concept on the runway. An ankle-length charcoal grey coat dress is finished off with Wiggy curls and pencil-thin eyebrows. Pump up the volume!

PRADA

Miuccia and Raf Simons reworked traditional Prada staples for the Fall 2023 Menswear collection. A classic grey wool boucle coat was teamed with a 70’s style tapered collar. The hair was clipper cut and complemented the clean looks perfectly. Brava Prada.

CHARLES JEFFREY LOVERBOY

It was industrial vibes at Charles Jeffrey Loverboy. The Scottish designer showed classic grey garments with a camp “worker” twist. The oversized Baker Boy style hat is giving us full early 2000s flashbacks.

SAINT LAURENT

Anthony Vaccarello showed grey in varying fabrications for Saint Laurent. Silhouettes were long, lean and tres chic. A grey marled knit turtleneck sweater dress provides the perfect incognito look. Hair was glossy, slicked and centre parted. A total 1920s buzz.

BIANCA SAUNDERS

Bianca Saunders took an avant-garde approach to the suit in the opening look of her Fall 2023 collection; reworking traditionally masculine silhouettes in the tone of the season. Grey, if you need reminding.

Who needs to see when you look this good? A grey overcoat with draped detailing teamed with a feathered pageboy-esque hair look.

HED MAYNER

Scale and form were the subjects of Hed Mayner’s Fall 2023 collection. A grey shrunken jacket teamed with a pale grey asymmetric shirt and cropped ankle grazing grey trousers. So obsessed with the combed forward-slicked-down fringe which became spiked at the back of the head, it is a perfect hair pairing.

FENG CHEN WANG

Feng Chen Wang featured grey contrasted styles in their Fall 2023 Menswear collection, referencing the deconstructed and reconstructed effect Feng has become known for. Sculpted tendrils of hair framed the face and elevated the looks to a theatrical level.

DRIES VAN NOTEN

“Sophisti-rave” was Dries Van Noten’s buzzword for Fall 2023. The jackets were boxy and oversized. Trousers were loose and ravey, reminiscent of 90’s JNCO jean silhouettes. Hair was textured with short choppy fringes or long and loose. Faces were sweaty, giving a post-all-night clubbing vibe. Grey tones featured heavily throughout.

DIOR MEN

For Dior Men, Kim Jones took references from Dior himself and the early work by Yves Saint-Laurent. Models were boyish with slick side parts that look almost private school-esque. Animal print was used as a nod to Yves' love of leopard print, and tones of grey added to Kim’s penchant for a minimalist streetwear aesthetic.

Kim Jones sent a slew of fisherman-inspired looks down the runway in tones of grey. Baggy knee-length shorts were inspired by Dior womenswear and looked almost skirt-like as the models walked the runway.

COMME DES GARÇON HOMME PLUS

For the Fall 2023 Comme Des Garcon Homme Plus Collection, Rei Kawakubo did what she does best. The shapes were (as always) avant-garde. Grey suiting was blazoned with text and reshaped the body. Models wore cage-like headpieces with sections of hair flattened and spiked. It was a très arty.

OFFICINE GENERALE

Officine Generale gave a romantic spin to grey, it was very Parisian. Multiple grey fabrications were layered with flouncy pastel hues which pushed that romantic vibe. Hair and beauty were minimal and natural looking.

LOEWE

Lastly Loewe, Jonathan Anderson focused on form and function, subverting it for his Fall 2023 menswear collection. Garments were elevated into the realm of 3D sculpture. It was a very “less is more” showing, with Anderson focusing on material and shape. Everything was stripped back including the runway. Similarly, hair and beauty were paired back and the models' faces were clean with the hair slicked back.
