Speak softly and let your clothes do the talking. Call it the Raf Effect (Simons and collaborator Sterling Ruby used words to winning results at the designer’s Fall ’14 show a year ago), but both Pre-Fall and the Fall ’15 men’s collections had plenty to say in ways that put your old slogan tees to shame. Take Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s emblazoned eveningwear for Valentino, or the graver message that Walter Van Beirendonck sent out yesterday. Whether you’re going for sobering or silly, here are 12 of our favorite fashion wordplays.
