“We went back to the roots of hip-hop and the fabulous ’70s. The models are dressed in true b-boy style: nylon shorts, track pants, and hip-hop bling layered over polos and tank tops. It’s casual and classic, combined with three-piece suits and tuxedo jackets enriched with flashy metal chains.” –Dean and Dan Caten

“I wanted to refashion the traditional male silhouette by combining tailoring and color-blocking to produce a modern, sleek aes-thetic. Metallics, jacquards, and toning create an optical illusion on the runway, fusing contrasts and opposites to create a dynamic and fresh masculine shape.” –Alexander McQueen

“The collection is about a modern sailor who leaves Britanny and lands in Australia. During this long trip over the seas, he completes his wardrobe by combining the various influences of each place he visits.” –Sophie Albou

“The collection is designed with an individual in mind. We used a different model for each look to underline this point, and to inspire a unique approach to dressing.” –Tomas Maier

“The Spring/Summer 2009 collection revolves around the idea of wearing a suit to the beach; I imagined how surfers would wear a suit. I continue to play with the idea of using classic menswear elements and making them relevant and wearable for today’s sportswear generation.” –Kris Van Assche

“I took inspiration from the modern-classic looks of the German Bauhaus school—clean lines, simple shapes, and innovative detailsand materials.” –Bruno Pieters
