Twenty-something pop singers are usually the default stars of fashion week. However, during the latest womenswear shows that wrapped up on Tuesday it was a cohort of middle-aged men who unexpectedly stole the spotlight. Forget Mamils (middle-aged men in Lycra), now it’s all about the middle-aged men in Loewe.
Those embracing the midlife makeover and experimental fashion included a 56-year-old Daniel Craig, who swaggered into the Loewe show wearing a haphazard knitted jumper, cargo balloon pants, unlaced hiking boots and yellow-tinted sunglasses. Next came a 71-year-old Jeff Goldblum in baggy white chinos and an oversized leather jacket. At Saint Laurent, a 60-year-old Lenny Kravitz posed in a black and silver striped pussy-bow blouse tucked tightly into even tighter trousers, while a 69-year-old Willem Dafoe closed the Miu Miu catwalk wearing a white shirt with the collar half sticking out from underneath a navy jumper and unbuckled boots.
