In October, Fashion Monthly turns its attention to the classic men’s wardrobe, with a particular focus on the season’s upcoming parties and formal events. Black serves as a recurring theme throughout the auction—a colour that bridges the gap between timeless elegance and contemporary fashion and design.
This month’s selection features a curated range of tuxedos and suits from international fashion houses such as Dior Homme, Dolce & Gabbana, and Dsquared2. Here, classic tailoring meets modern silhouettes in pieces suited both for festive occasions and for building a well-considered, versatile wardrobe.
While patent leather shoes are the traditional accompaniment to a tuxedo, those who prefer a more personal style will find items that challenge the formal dress code. Highlights include Fornasetti’s Frutta e verdura tie and a pair of Nike x Off-White Air Presto sneakers—part of the highly acclaimed 2018 collaboration between Virgil Abloh and Nike.
Black also features prominently in the selection for women, appearing across a variety of garments and accessories from renowned fashion houses. Among the auction’s most notable lots is a Chanel "Airlines" Buckle Messenger Bag, crafted from denim and toile, which debuted in the brand’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection.
The bag carries the legacy of one of Karl Lagerfeld’s most talked-about fashion shows. For the collection’s presentation, the Grand Palais in Paris was transformed into an airport terminal dubbed "Chanel Airlines." The bag’s wide buckle straps—inspired by airplane seatbelts—serve as a playful nod to the show’s theme, perfectly illustrating Lagerfeld’s unique ability to weave storytelling into fashion. Whether you are looking for something for the winter festivities, wanting to add a classic piece to your wardrobe, or hoping to discover a unique collector’s item, you are warmly invited to explore Fashion Monthly 10 at Auktionshuset Kolonn.
