Where in the World Are These Male Models Going?

Travel was the big theme throughout the Spring 2017 men’s shows in Europe — with models carrying backpacks, flashlights, and water bottles at Prada, the Louis Vuitton man coming out of Africa, and the Loewe boys’ innocent adventure in Ibiza. Fashion being a reflection of the times, the trend has serious roots in the current migrant crisis facing the now-broken European Union. Designers imagined their modern customer as a man without borders; a global citizen ranging from young explorer to luxury jetsetter. Here, we took a more playful approach, imagining where on earth these men could be going for Spring 2017.

With colorful flashlights, socks, and sandals, the Prada men are well-equipped to make it to the top of Big Rock Candy Mountain. There’s apparently a party at the top, since the ladies have packed heels, too.

The Loewe boy inhabits an entirely different Ibiza, however. Perhaps this is what it looks like when the Givenchy man decides he needs to detox.
