Right now, menswear designers are leaping on clothes designed to work as hard as they look good; Prada’s autumn/winter 2016 show featured peacoats finished with durable denim elbow patches and carabiner-style security keychains, while at Louis Vuitton, Kim Jones sent out an army of bovver boot-shod models.
One item you should definitely be investing in this season, however, is a new, upgraded backpack. The best place to go is Givenchy, where creative director Riccardo Tisci has pulled out all the stops, producing countless styles from fringe-coated pieces to fur-covered versions.
Shown above is the Red/Black canvas-leather backpack [Dhs5,935] our favourite item from the AW ’16 collection, as functional as it is stylish.
