As the men’s spring 2024 season opens in Paris with a Pharrell-shaped bang at Louis Vuitton—upcoming collections WWD has its eye on Toyko-based Bed j.w. Ford, Parisian label C.R.E.O.L.E., Lagos Space Programme and 4SDesigns.
Born in a fishing village in the Ishikawa prefecture on the coast of the Sea of Japan, Yamagishi grew up admiring the fashions of big cities like Tokyo and Paris from a distance. He’d been developing his personal take on fashion through observation but the true bolt out of the blue that cinched his path into fashion design was discovering the work of designer Takahiro Miyashita and his Number ine brand.
The brand now counts some 50 stockists around the world and is priced between 130 euros for T-shirts and 260 euros for shirts and an average of 400 euros for trousers. Coats come in under 1,000 euros. Paris-born Frederic-Colombo was raised in Guadeloupe, the French overseas region in the Caribbean. After graduating in product design, pursuing a dual sociology and anthropology degree, and a stint at the HEAD Geneva art and design school, he eased his way into fashion by joining Paris-based retailer Kokon To Zai.
Frederic-Colombo intends his work as a commentary on how those who emerge from the post-colonial space express themselves. “It’s interesting to show we can propose something different from the pleasant, joyful Caribbean cliché of exoticism,” rooting the label in a community that is “always living in crisis, always with limits so they try to find joy on the hard reality,” he said. — L.T.
“I see myself as an eternal student of fashion and I’m very aware of fashion history, and have tried to frame LSP as a label that is trying to create a very fresh conversation,” they said. “I know that’s something that’s very hard to do in fashion because everything has been said and done, but I do feel like Lagos Space Programme has something very unique to contribute to the global dialogue.” — JOELLE DIDERICHAngelo Urrutia is no stranger to fashion.
His good luck has continued, with his collection now being sold in Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Kith and other retailers in the U.S., as well as a number of stores in Italy, Ireland, England, the Netherlands, Sweden and Asia.He also caught the attention of the team at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, which selected him as one of its finalists for this year’s $300,000 award, as well as the Federation de la Haute Couture in Paris, which invited him onto the official calendar.
That translates into everything from suit separates to yoga outfits designed with vintage and military references.
