“The cyclical nature of fashion reflects a collective desire to seek reassurance from the past,” writes @jellison22 in her letter introducing this week’s men’s style issue. “It’s a familiarity I see in our cover story by @brunostaub and @ganio, which I think recalls the gentle sensuality of ’80s Buffalo. Whether you take comfort in the ’70s-era sportswear collaborations we’ve lately seen at Gucci, Wales Bonner or Balenciaga, or in the clean lines of traditional tailoring seen at Dunhill, Loro Piana or Dior Men, it appears we have entered a period of nostalgia – and not only in fashion.”�⁠ ⁠ Also inside: @gilleskhoury falls for Charvet, the original Parisian shirtmaker; @graceelisabethc speaks to Björk’s favourite mask-maker and embroiderer; @bayasimons visits the Soho bookshop helping creatives keep their cool; super-stylist Harry Lambert talks taste; and Stephen Bush recounts his love for a really big boot.⁠ ⁠ Pick up your copy this weekend with @ft_weekend. 📸 by @brunostaub at @totalworld.
