September 8th, 2023, during the kickoff of New York Fashion Week in Bugatchi’s studio-like upper-east side showroom. Designer Anthony Keegan shot the lookbook in the studio for his Spring/Summer 2024 collection, giving men the opportunity to travel for an upcoming vacation in style but also being as comfortable as possible.
Every summer, what is the first thing that comes to people’s minds? “I need to plan for upcoming summer vacation!” “Where to go?’ and most importantly “What to wear for a resort wardrobe?” Well, Bugatchi has got your summer wardrobe all covered for men planning their vacation wardrobe. That’s the purpose of dressing up for a vacation! so why can’t men have the opportunity to dress in style while stepping away from the reality of work life just as easily as women can? The inspiration for this collection came from Keegan’s fond memories of going on vacation with his family as a child, as he would sit in the back of his family’s station wagon and anticipate the next stop in their travels. Instead of sitting in the back of a dusty station wagon, this collection with an easy mobility silhouette brings the perspective for men sipping on a cocktail at a local seaside resort on a tropical island.
As for the aesthetic overall, it brings in a youthful approach while not being too cliché at the same time as the collection consists of leather-like bomber jackets, linen blazers, and sports shirts that give both comfort and the ability to dress sharp. This collection was to “Illustrate the beauty of the journey” Keegan told WWD and the collection illustrated this in the way of the carefully chosen color palettes of dusky but yet soft colors ranging from dusty rose and sea foam to different shades of blues. Overall played very nicely giving men both a youthful and sophisticated touch without looking too bland.
To all you gentlemen getting ready for your upcoming vacation to a tropical resort and want to pack your suitcase with a sophisticated but not too simple wardrobe to sit at a bar and drink a cocktail to get away from the office. Don’t walk or run but fly to purchase your vacation wardrobe from the Bugatchi Spring/Summer 2024 collection.
