Hywel Davies

The only guide to the booming market of contemporary menswear, Modern Menswear is full of profiles and a wide range of images-catwalk, sketches, studio and more-of 35 international menswear designers. It is ideal for industry professionals, students and fashion addicts.
Menswear has evolved from niche markets to mainstream acceptance. Creating this focus are designers who have broken with convention to visualize radical and directional clothing. With a huge range of imagery, Modern Menswear showcases these fashion radicals, both big names and emerging talent from across the world. Designers profiled include Marc Jacobs, Yoyji Yamamoto, Vivienne Westwood and Hedi Slimane of Dior Homme, providing an insight into their design processes and their contribution to the contemporary fashion aesthetic.

Previously fashion editor at Sleazenation, he has also written for Arena, Jack, Vogue, ELLE, Wallpaper*, Sunday Telegraph, Nylon, Dazed & Confused, Loaded Fashion, and Time Out. He is also a consultant for numerous brands, including Levi's, Braun, and Orange.
