Attachment Tokyo Spring 2026 Collection
To help, he looked at Giorgio Armani's seminal soft tailoring in the 1980s, and landed on Richard Gere's wardrobe in American Gigolo (a perennially popular menswear touchpoint) as a reference. 'It was a relaxed but formal look…the casual way of dressing in that era looked really cool,' said Enomoto at a showroom appointment in Tokyo. 'This time we wanted to express that relaxed image of a man.' He named the collection Easily.
The result was a strong showing of menswear staples that felt exactly right for the moment. Reimagining 1980s suit jackets, Enomoto removed the power shoulders and linings to create silhouettes that were much softer but no less commanding. 'In a sense we're remaking it or updating it to fit with the times, especially by adding soft fabrics.' Tactile silk-cashmere sweaters were another focus, and looked as fantastic when tried on in the showroom as they did on the runway. Shout out for the colors, too: coral, amber, charcoal, sky blue, brown—everything was as soft on the eye as on the skin.
Enomoto—who took over Attachment from the late designer Kazuyuki Kumagai in 2022—is skilled at putting out collections that feel on-trend but not try-hard. Take the open-toed leather sandals (crucially not flip-flops), the neckties tossed over the left shoulder, or the silky pajama shirts worn with tight black boxer shorts. In-keeping with the mood of menswear at large, these sensual flourishes show that Enomoto and his team have their finger on menswear's fast-beating pulse and, more importantly, are able to add their own flavor to it.
Considering how well many of these pieces would slip into (and improve) a contemporary man's wardrobe, the collection lived up to its title. Good casting, good styling, good clothes. One of Enomoto's best yet? Easily.

Giorgio Armani Looks Back on 50 Years in Fashion
'I'm not one for self-congratulation,' Giorgio Armani says, 'but I can't deny I'm proud to have reached such an important milestone.' The Italian legend is referring to his fashion house hitting the half-century mark this year (he also happens to have recently cleared another personal benchmark: turning 91). His modesty aside, the fashion world, and particularly the modern-day concept of a 'lifestyle brand,' owes a major debt to Armani. As he himself admits, 'my vision…extends beyond fashion,' with Armani hotels, residences, restaurants, clubs, and cafés now dotting the globe. The designer compares creating a custom living space to designing couture, 'where the encounter between client and creator brings something rare and unique to life.' And he delights in bringing a taste of Italy to the world. (His favorite dish at his nearly year-old restaurant in Manhattan? The risotto alla Milanese, naturalmente .) Olivier Kervern All looks, Giorgio Armani. His expansive vision extends across the Atlantic, all the way to Hollywood, where he clocked in to the dream factory early on, dressing Richard Gere in American Gigolo , Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street , and countless red-carpet stars. (He names Diane Keaton, accepting her Annie Hall Oscar in 1978, and Jodie Foster, in a cream-colored suit at the ceremony in 1992, as two favorites.) Gen Z has embraced him just as much as golden-era stars did; Mikey Madison attended the Critics Choice Awards in a vintage Armani gown from 1992, while Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya have turned to the Milanese master for their own star-making moments. The designer says he's 'immensely proud that the younger generations are seeking out vintage Armani. It means that what I created 20 or 30 years ago still speaks to an audience that may not even have been born yet.' Olivier Kervern Our current fascination with minimalism has also sent many younger acolytes flocking to Armani's collections. 'My work is defined by a constant process of simplification,' he says. 'I strip away to add value and meaning. It's a more challenging path than it might seem, because simplicity is never simplistic.' However, he doesn't consider his oeuvre to be quiet luxury, which, he finds, 'tends toward the very simple, almost elementary. The kind of subtraction that interests me adds meaning to a garment; it doesn't strip it of substance, but rather removes it from the fleeting whims of passing trends.' Olivier Kervern Olivier Kervern His career, too, has proceeded in that kind of steady arc: He started his own brand at age 41, after working for labels like Cerruti and Loewe. 'My path began later, yes, but that gave me the right awareness and maturity to enter a complex and fast-moving world,' he says. Olivier Kervern One Armani hallmark that's made a comeback in recent seasons is the tailored suit, which returned to runways with a vengeance as customers tired of dressed-up athleisure. 'I think the fashion cycle has naturally brought us back to a new sense of composure and elegance,' the designer says. And the suit is 'a garment that projects great strength and authority for women, both in and out of the workplace.' Someone who's worn Armani's suits with panache is Cate Blanchett, who says it's the style she feels most at home in. ('My most-loved Armani look always seems to be the last one I wore,' she says.) When she asks Armani if she can wear a look from the menswear collection, 'he smiles, gently rolls his eyes, and says, 'Let me do something.' And he will present a riff on the masculine, but for my form.' Olivier Kervern Armani has long championed the work of emerging designers in the Milan scene. And while much of fashion may be experimenting with catwalk alternatives or storming the metaverse, he remains a firm believer in the power of the IRL runway show. 'Clothes must be seen live, on bodies in motion. The real question is whether shows today are still conceived for the clothes or purely as moments of media entertainment,' he says. 'I prefer substance over spectacle, which can become damaging if it's an end in itself. But sometimes, I feel very alone in defending this position.' Olivier Kervern Olivier Kervern For fall 2025, Armani went back to his roots, quite literally: He titled his collection 'Radici.' He wanted to riff on his own history as 'a way to imagine the new and dress the moment. This doesn't mean I am rigid or repetitive. I observe the world and follow the shifts in needs and lifestyles.' As Blanchett says, 'Mr. Armani innately understands flow: the movement of thought, of emotion, and of course of the body.' Olivier Kervern He has ample reason for going back to the old ways. 'I still see fashion drifting away from its true purpose, which is, essentially, to clothe people in a way that enhances life, redefines roles, and reshapes imagery. Today, revenue goals on the one hand, and communication for its own sake on the other, have distorted everything. The clothes have become secondary—or, worse, they've become mere concepts,' he says. 'And too much is produced, in a constant cycle that diminishes value. Olivier Kervern 'The legacy I hope to leave is one of commitment, respect, and attention to people and reality. That's where it all begins.' Hair by Nicolas Philippon and makeup by Lauren Bos, both at Artlist Paris; casting by Barbara Pfister; models: Vilma Sjoberg at Next and Victor Buysse at VNY Models; produced by Luisa Saro at Tarifa Production.

Attachment Tokyo Spring 2026 Collection
Like many menswear designers, Attachment's Koki Enomoto was thinking about lightness and levity in the run up to this season. How could he loosen up Attachment's uber-restrained brand of minimalism, and give it a dash of summery sprezzatura? To help, he looked at Giorgio Armani's seminal soft tailoring in the 1980s, and landed on Richard Gere's wardrobe in American Gigolo (a perennially popular menswear touchpoint) as a reference.

‘American Gigolo' inspired the ‘alluring' interior of this CA house for sale
When a home stands out because of its unique and flawless architecture in an already breathtaking setting, you know its something extraordinary. A California property that was once just an idea on the silver screen has landed on the real estate market in San Francisco's Dolores Heights neighborhood, and it's certainly something to behold. 'While fans of the 1980's film, 'American Gigolo,' were introduced to a sexy new star in Richard Gere, interior designer Kevin Sawyers and his partner, software engineer Peter Steinauer, were taken by the alluring interior design of Gere's character's apartment,' a news release about the residence said. The film is a crime drama centering on a high-end escort falling in love with a politician's wife, and it launched the stardom of Gere. His chic apartment almost plays a character all its own in the film, which inspired Sawyers and Steinauer. 'I was thinking about making ourselves look and feel as good in this house as we could, much the way the sets in 'American Gigilo' flattered Richard Gere,' Sawyers said in the release. 'I wanted to create this set that was for us, for me and Pete.' With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home is listed for $6.8 million. Features in and around the 3,174-square-foot residence, per the listing on Compass, include: Massive windowsMetal exteriors'Cedar-clad garage'City viewsPatioFirepitLED lightningSliding glass doorsChef's kitchenFlex level 'While this home is a breathtaking showcase property, the true genius lies in all the invisible and thoughtful details that make the home a delight for every day life in the city,' listing agent Matt Fuller said in the release. The home has been featured in numerous publications including the New York Times, the release noted.
