High end clothing lines that don't seem to exist anymore

I actually used to like some of the Miu Miu clothing, but you're right, I didn't even realize that they had stopped doing a men's line.

Cerruti is still in operation, Nicolas Andreas Taralis recently did a pretty good collection for them (and was dismissed after one season).

Cloak, Helmut Lang and Jean Colonna are gone.

I'm not sure I get it, Conne is hardly the type to wear HL, and I definitely am. In fact I own pieces from all the designers I listed.

What about Jean Patou?

I always knew you had a Massimo fixation.

I used to go to the Sulka shop in NYC a fair bit.

YSL menswear

A long time ago I used to wear exclusively Carlo Palazzi which was made by Brioni. It seemed to disappear after Palazzi's death then re-emerge as some low-end crap I've spotted from time to time on websites. Not sure what happened to the company but I would be interested if anyone knows.

It's not high end but I don't see much Tommy Hilfiger.

Stefano Pilati designs YSL menswear and last season was especially great. They didn't have a catwalk show, opting to have a video presentation.
