Charlie on Menswear

The wise words of Charlie Porter



It feels as if fashion is waiting for a new youth movement to appropriate. But it is for the young to infuriate the generations that has gone before. Sometimes they infuriate with shock and radicalism. Or, as now, youth infuriates by showing no outward sign of change. Their revolution is all in how they interact. And they are making the still-surviving 20th-century fashion system seem very outmoded indeed.
