Editorial / Fantastic Animals

In the contemporary fashion scene, no man’s wardrobe is truly complete without a few stylish swimwear ensembles. The summer is fast approaching, bringing with it the seasonal challenge of piecing together an outfit that says more with less. Layering becomes less of a focal point as the attention shifts to narrowing down that one defining power piece. More often than not, the gentleman’s swim shorts alone will actually be his entire outfit, meaning that the right choice is absolutely essential.

For the Spring/Summer 16 season, Italian fashion house Valentino takes us into the wild and wonderful world of the animal kingdom with their Fantastic Animals graphic print. Initially debuted for their Spring/Summer 15 presentation, the Fantastic Animals graphic is a natural evolution of the iconic camouflage print that has often permeated Valentino’s previous collections.

Coming in a vast array of styles, shapes and colours, a compelling argument can be made that the backpack is the number one accessory of choice in the contemporary wardrobe.
