E. Tautz FALL 2018 MENSWEAR

“Why, why, do people change things up so quickly? When we introduced one pant, it only sold 60 pairs in the first season. We kept at it, and, well on, we sell thousands of it. That’s how it works.”

Patrick Grant - E. Tautz

E. Tautz continues with the "very full thing" as he tells Vogue during London Fashion Week. We are particularly fond of the wide leg pants, the dramatic pleat and the pleated denim trouser.

“There’s this underground music scene, really good 19, 20, 21-year-olds, who can’t afford gigs, but they can really play—and they have something to say. There was a long time when music didn’t have that, but now it’s back. And I wanted to give them a chance.”

Golden Globes Red Carpet Goes Black 2018

/

Dior, Gucci, Tom Ford, Valentino, Miu Miu, Zac Posen, Brandon Maxwell, Prabal Gurung, Atelier Versace, Armani Prive, Louis Vuitton and Calvin Klein is who they wore. No one asked because for the first time in more than two decades, the red carpet focus was NOT fashion! That's not to say that our A-list faves were not chic or glamorous, they most definitely were, but instead they chose to place humanity over clothes and discuss the validity of their career and not the designer labels on their backs.

Black was the color du jour as celebs - veterans and newbies alike - stood in solidarity over gender inequality and sexual harassment within their industry, politics and beyond. Men and women at the Golden Globes brought overwhelming awareness to the #TimesUp initiative that promotes gender equality and an end to sexual harassment and abuse. Many celebrity women walked the red carpet with the founders of women-based non-profit organizations bringing further awareness of their mission and important work. Many of the men, donned the Times Up logo on a black & white pin on the lapel of their tuxedo.

Last night, Hollywood showed the world that glamour has a strong, powerful voice and they used it to ROAR about significant issues.
