Have you guys noticed this?
Raf simons started going that way towards the end of his Jil Sander work.
Started with Prada with the infamous wingtip creepers
Prada


Is there a reason that this suit does not fit the model? Is there a reason for all three buttons to be fastened? Is it a deliberate policy of the designers?

I can not believe that any clothes designer could possibly think that this looks good. Or is it just me?

Don't call it a comeback - it's been here for years.

Well, it's a runway photo. And runway fashion is generally an exercise to see how much awful garbage a designer can think up...

The real question everyone should be asking is: why are the top and bottom buttons done on these jackets?

No the real question is - why are so many people on his forum ignorant of the concept of a 'hard'' three button suit/jacket?

The model looked like he can't even breathe in that suit.
