Fashion Designers Protest Climate Change and Populism in Menswear Collections

Spring-Summer 2027 menswear: The planet is burning

As rising populism threatens freedom of expression, designers can no longer look away. Yohji Yamamoto rages, with clothes scorched by the sun. Issey Miyake celebrates the power of shadow. Jeanne Friot indicts the politicians. The Institut Français de la Mode urges its students to push beyond limits. KML, the Saudi-born label, dismantles Western dress codes. All of them are asking the same question: what does fashion propose for a livable future?
