a creative FORCE • Glenn Martens, creative director for Y/Project and Diesel, is flexing his couture chops by creating a one-shot collection for Jean Paul Gaultier.

L'O Dossier • Streetwear was born in the ‘80s, at a time when streetwear designers and their fans did not see a place for themselves in the established luxury fashion industry. With strong influences from skate, surf, and hip-hop cultures, designs of fashionable, casual clothing debuted on city streets instead of on the Paris runway. Over the past decade, however, the distinctions between “streetwear” and “fashion” have essentially disappeared with basics such as hoodies and sneakers becoming the foundation of menswear collections. The streetwear values of comfort and community have been embraced broadly across the industry, from independent designers to historic fashion houses. L’OFFICIEL editors from around the globe highlight seven emerging brands that are reinventing and elevating streetwear in 2022.

SPIN THE GLOBE • As the world continues to turn on an ever-more-unpredictable axis, old definitions and categories fall away and lose their sharpness. This invites a fresh sense of freedom: Men’s fashion turns toward an entirely new way of being. We asked 15 of L'OFFICIEL’s farflung global creative teams to dive deep into a universe of possibilities for the season. From off-kilter suiting on the streets of Madrid to surreal streetwear in a Seoul studio, here’s what our editors came up with. Enjoy the ride.

WHERE HE belongs • Interior designer Billy Cotton creates subversive yet livable spaces, merging modern with traditional, bold color choices, and an overall warmth.

More than a fashion signature, the logo is a universal symbol of values.
