Versace opened its flagship store in Ginza, Japan. Versace Ginza store becomes the main enclosure subsequent to Versus Versace and Versace Home. Japan’s first road surface store for the brand by artistic director Donatella Versace is conceptualized by the British architect Jamie Fobert.

It consists of sleek marble, mosaic tile reminiscent of Byzantine style of the 19th century, acrylic, and of course Brass metal.  Upon opening the road surface store which is a brand symbol, Donatella Versace says, “The new store of Versace pays tribute to the cultural heritage of Italy, as it makes a space for Habatakeru the spirit of the nascent Versace. This new boutique is our past and future, for me and Jamie Fobert,”.

1While we see all magazine and web flooded with fall women’s fashion, men’s have very little space for them. It’s a feel good factor that somewhere women’s are given priority. It also reminds me of an instance when one of the menswear designer suggested us that we should have a section dedicated to men’s only to later realize that he has started designing womenswear.2

Coming on to fall men’s 2015, there is been some very key trends. Starting from looks this fall men’s are seen in beards even with glitters. Coming on to apparels fur had a very strong presence on the runways with 1970’s style ruled all over from flares to flyaway collars. There were double breasted pullovers, spec pants, turtleneck sweaters, unbalance long tee.

Coats fell just off the shoulder to give a slouchy, oversized vibe. Layering as always is the technique to keep you warm with trench over stitched liner over flannel. The most popular colors were grey, green, turquoise, and military, blue making rounds on the runways.
