Fashion: Monti Castello, French Cinema And Rugby Nostalgia
He Blue It
At the Fifth Annual Academy Museum Gala in October the fits were good, and a number were spotted in Prada. Our favourite goes to Damson Idris who wore a PRADA light blue mohair suit, white poplin shirt, black grosgrain tie and black leather monk strap shoes.
Monti Castello – Made in Italy
Whether it’s finishing off a Friday work jacket or adding a subtle pop for a special occasion, a burst of patterned colour from your pocket is the answer for effortless sophistication.
Freshly curated to elevate your summer wardrobe, this trio of Monti Castello’s latest pocket squares, showcase the natural charm of linen. Its raw structure softens tones of slate, sage and cinnamon, while fresh marine blues jostle with sandy hues across a medley of designs, from detailed paisley and mosaic medallions to fanciful florals.
Finished with traditional rolled edges, Monti Castello pocket squares can be pouched from the centre or fluffed more effervescently to display their rustic borders.
French Cinema Chic
AHLEM is finishing off 2025 with their FW collection celebrating the “human capacity for transforming raw experience into art” which in NZ means telling a really good shaggy dog story, but for AHLEM means celebrating French film. Below our model is wearing Rousseau RRP$560, this suave silhouette’s perspective-driven architecture moves seamlessly from the office to the courts. Featuring an elongated form with disappearing edges that blend vigor with control. Comes in four colours.
For the Originals
The new Originals For Originals 2025 All Blacks matchwear collection has taken everything we love about rugby’s heritage and hit it with a modern spin. The collection’s been rocked by rugby’s finest, Ardie Savea Damian Mackenzie, and Reiko loane.
