FW25 Womenswear - Winter Breath by Chris Saulnier

.digital
WINTER BREATH IN NEW YORK

Winter arrives without ceremony and breath becomes visible, movement slows, and the city begins to speak in smaller gestures. Streets empty, light softens, and New York settles into a different rhythm. A figure moves through this landscape, pausing, observing, carrying the weight of the season in posture. The cold presses close, sharpening senses and drawing attention to details often overlooked, the hush between buildings, the drag of fabric, the sound of wind against concrete.

Nothing insists on being explained, instead, the city holds space for reflection, for quiet persistence, for the intimacy that winter creates. Winter Breath stays with that feeling, letting atmosphere guide the narrative and allowing the season to leave its mark slowly, deliberately, and without urgency.

FW25 Menswear - Retro Spotlight

RETRO SPOTLIGHT
*with Simone Bredariol

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

As seen across the Fall runways, the appeal of pared-back minimalism has yet to wane – and, whatever your style-driven proclivities, this season has plenty to choose from.

Whether you prefer your slouchy tailoring with a twist, or your airy goods slightly functional, here’s how to wear this season’s minimal offerings with maximum impact. Our wardrobe will naturally shift throughout the year, but Fall is the season when the weather dictates your clothing choices the most: from Zegna’s pristine tailoring, Dolce&Gabbana’s clean-cut suiting to Etro’s wear-anywhere ease, you’ll want a roster of reliable, classic pieces to make getting ready every day so much easier. It can sometimes feel like a conundrum to remain snazzy amid the depths of winter, but these 7 looks are a failsafe way to keep things cool, and in line, for you. And the most important message? Keep it breezy. You’re welcome.

FW25 Menswear - Home Break

HOME BREAK
*with Christian Frascaro + Francesco Crisitiano

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

The longing for timelessness has been a forerunner in fashion’s stakes in recent years, making its presence felt across the sartorial spectrum: from the designer runways to the rails of high-street favourites, its wear-anywhere appeal has sparked the yearn of many.

Of course, this concept is by no means a modern phenomenon, and its history stretches back to the centuries of creativity of fuss-free apparel within the menswear arena, that have managed to retain that sense of ageless elegance right up to the present day: thanks to the wealth of options that span across tailored constructions to their structured credentials, clothes that last are an investment to a man’s wardrobe. But the question is: how do we make these classics feel directional in 2025? Brace yourselves.

As modeled ever brilliantly by Francesco Cristiano and Christian Frascaro, these versatile silhouettes come in everything from Prada’s skin-tight separates to swishy Brioni’s outerwear to structured canvas from Celine and cotton checks from Isabel Marant. Acting as a solid foundation for an everyday outfit – especially during the winter months – the right staple can truly smarten up any outfit, or add a touch of nonchalance to a formal essential. Below, LE MILE’s edit has you covered. You’re welcome.

FW25 Menswear - He’s Fine & Classy with Jonathon Luke Baker

HE´S FINE & CLASSY
*with Jonathon Luke Baker

written + interview CHIDOZIE OBASI

It’s often hard to admit, but generally, the Italians do it better. However, one’s gotta admire the Brits for their wild romanticism and ingrained sense of cool. They’ve got the London look on lock for sure and they’re proud to often be pioneering the ‘wilder the better’ attitude, but their Italian and French counterparts tend to fall into a more poised category. On fashion terms, Brits do creative ramshackles, Italians do superfine spectacles.

It’s only fitting then that in this shoot, Jonathon Luke Baker — a multihyphenate based in East London — mixes his charisma and attitude with a pared-back style that veers on the edge of the familiar, with dashes of wear-anywhere coolness. If you’re not already impressed, bear in mind Baker has worked with some of the world’s most talented artists and culturally exciting figures such as Sir Matthew Bourne, Sir Bob Cohen, Arlene Phillips DBE, Wayne McGregor CBE and Sam Smith, to name a few.

Not an art fan? Shame on you. Or, better, brush up on your contemporaries through Baker’s list. In this story, fashion highlights to look out for include Valentino, Loro Piana, and Louis Vuitton. And lastly, brace yourself: LE MILE’s Fashion Director grabbed five with the artist to chat all-things career, mental health and future hopes. You’ve probably heard it here first.

Chidozie Obasi
First things first: could you introduce yourself to us?

Jonathon Luke Baker
I’m Jonathon Luke Baker, a dancer and movement director based in East London. I’ve spent the past ten years performing in contemporary works, but more recently I’ve transitioned into the more commercial side of dance. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me thrifting around Brick Lane or trying my hand at clay sculpting.

How has the past year been for you?

It’s been a year of growth. I’ve experienced the loss of loved ones, which has been a difficult but deeply human reminder to stay grateful and cherish the beauty of connection. Professionally, it’s been a blessing — I’ve been touring across Europe and the U.S. with Jessie Ware, who I adore, and I’ve continued my relationship with Jean Paul Gaultier, performing in his Fashion Freak Show in Tokyo. Creatively, it’s been a year of refinement — understanding more about my own movement language and how I like to explore the body’s potential for expression. 

What’s your earliest memory of dance?

Throwing my body around to Basement Jaxx! I’ve been twirling for as long as I could walk, but my earliest memory is forcing my family to watch me, my older brother, and my cousin perform our partially choreographed, mostly improvised, but fully committed dance shows to Basement Jaxx.

When did you realise that you wanted to make this craft a professional career?

Very early on — dance was all I ever wanted to do. The idea of growing up and actually getting paid to move my body to music was the ultimate dream. Of course, I had no real idea what the job would entail, nor did I imagine it would take me around the world. I’m grateful to have parents who had blind faith in me pursuing a path they also knew nothing about, yet supported me completely.

What would you say have been the best moments of your path thus far?

One of the most meaningful moments in my journey so far has been building a connection to Francis Menuge, Jean Paul Gaultier’s late partner, whom I portray in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fashion Freak Show. Francis was not only Gaultier’s lover but also his creative partner — together they built the brand and presented the very first Jean Paul Gaultier collection. In the show, I even wear the original suit Francis wore in that debut in 1976. There’s a solo that depicts his death from AIDS-related complications, exploring the persistence of the disease as it consumes the body and the spirit’s struggle to keep fighting. Although my connection to him is ultimately parasocial, I feel a deep sense of care and responsibility to honour his life and death with authenticity and respect.

And how about the most challenging ones?

The hardest part of this path is maintaining closeness with my life and relationships at home. I’ve spent most of the last few years touring or on location, and I can get completely absorbed by the project I’m working on. It’s something I’m working on actively: being more intentional about staying connected to the people I love. It also makes romantic relationships tricky. On the surface, the lifestyle can look beautiful and cinematic, but in practice it can make it really difficult to build long-term intimacy.

After stints in ballet, you pivoted to a more commercial route… Do you feel nostalgic about your ballet background?

I love ballet deeply, but it feels like another lifetime. As I grew into myself, I realised the way ballet often tells stories didn’t align with the kind of emotional language I wanted to express. The discipline required to pursue ballet at a high level didn’t match the way I like my life and art to breathe and move. Getting to be in the audience to watch loved ones dancing leading roles at the Royal Opera House fills me with so much pride — it’s a joy to appreciate the art form intimately without needing to live inside it anymore.

Is there anything you’d do differently? Do you feel you’re where you wanted to be?

My biggest real regret is not taking GCSE French! My teacher discouraged me because she thought I’d lower her average grade, which still makes me laugh. Now, after spending so much of my career in Paris and performing at Folies Bergere in a Circus Erotica show called Fantasma, I wish I’d cared less about her statistics. I’ve just started learning again on Duolingo, so redemption is happening slowly! My career has never followed the path I imagined, but it has led me to experience my younger self couldn’t have dreamed of. Tomorrow I land in New York to perform Quadrophenia on Broadway with Pete Townshend and Ansel Elgort. That was never on any five-year plan. But I’ve learned that the most beautiful parts of this career are often the detours.

Have you always maintained stable mental health, or were there doubts and difficult times?

I’ve definitely had low periods. I work mostly in dance and fashion and both are visual worlds — you spend so much time in front of a mirror or surrounded by models who are impossibly beautiful. It’s very easy to slip into comparison. And comparison really is the thief of joy, though she has a way of feeling seductive. Over time, I’ve learned to focus on what I uniquely bring to the room — the perspective, the expression, the humanity — rather than trying to match or mirror what someone else is.

In a world shaped by downturns and social unrest, how do you see the future of the arts?

I think creativity becomes even more vital in times of uncertainty. Art helps us feel less alone, and sometimes it allows us to escape long enough to breathe. In a changing world of social tension, I hope the arts can continue to bring people back to each other — to remind us that every person deserves to be valued, especially those who are pushed to the margins because of their identities.

SOFT REBELLION 

*with Edu Roman

written + interview CHIDOZIE OBASI

Hot on the heels of his first TV show and a sweeping modeling career under his belt, the model and entrepreneur peels back the curtain on life, path and future hopes—all while becoming the embodiment of what makes a public figure beloved: a rare mix of kindness, grace and warmth.

In simple words, Edu is a breath of fresh air in an industry that, at times, feels bone-dry. So dive into the conversation below, as he speaks with LE MILE’s Fashion Director. You’re welcome.

Chidozie Obasi
First things first: could you introduce yourself to us?

Edu Roman
I’m the father of a beautiful daughter and the husband of a beautiful woman. I see myself as someone who’s always evolving and trying to adapt to every situation life puts in front of me — always with a smile on my face.

How has the past year been for you?

It’s been hectic! My baby was just a newborn when the year started, and I was living in Tenerife — a beautiful place in the Canary Islands — mixing parenting with my professional work. It’s been an awesome year, and it’s not over yet…There's still so much to do and enjoy. 

Taking a trip down memory lane: where did you grow up?

I grew up in a beautiful place called Cambrils, a small town by the Mediterranean Sea. It’s tiny, but it always gives me this magical feeling. Still, I’ve always been ambitious, and I knew the world had great things waiting for me. Nothing grows in your comfort zone, but it’s always nice to have one, just in case you need to go back.

You have a twin brother! Did you have a happy upbringing? And do you have any other siblings?

Yes! Having a twin brother has always been the best. Growing up with Jorge has been amazing: he’s not just my best friend; I like to say he’s my right arm. Only twins will understand this, because it’s a different kind of bond. He’s always there to give me the other side of the story, to keep me grounded, and to make sure I don’t become someone I don’t want to be. We keep each other on the right path and, as you can imagine, we have a lot of fun together. I also have two younger sisters whom I love with all my heart, and we try to be a great example for them.

Did you always know that you wanted to work in the creative industry, or did that come later?

Actually, I studied Economics! [Laughs]. But creativity has always been part of my life. I have an entrepreneurial mind that’s always looking for ways to add value. For me, creativity is everywhere; you just have to connect the dots and stay curious. I freaking love learning about anything, anytime.

When did you realize that you wanted to pursue this path as your main career?

As always, life had some surprises for me. I was discovered on the street and started modeling. I’ve always liked adapting to new situations, and modeling is all about that: new teams, different people, brands, creative ideas; and you’re the one who has to deliver. And I’ve always loved to deliver. 

In a world shaped by global crises and social change, the role of a model, talent, or creator is often seen as ‘trivial’. What does influence mean to you today?

Be the kind of person you’d love to have close to you. Nowadays, “influencing” is often misunderstood — people think it’s just about posting content and having followers. But for me, influence is about being the person others enjoy spending time with. That’s what creates a kind of virtuous circle that makes the world a better place. Be as happy as you can, and make the people around you feel warm and safe — that, to me, is a real influence.

Edu Roman wears a coat by TOM FORD, a shirt by RANDOM IDENTITIES by STEFANO PILATI, a sweater by MICHAEL KORS, a blazer by ZEGNA, blue pants by CELINE, and beige pants by FERRAGAMO

Could you talk me through your biggest career feats?

Honestly, my biggest feat is still being alive in this industry! I built an international modeling career from scratch: I’ve worked with some of the best brands and photographers in the world. I’m really proud of that, but I never take anything for granted. Staying humble and working hard is key. Thanks to this industry, I’ve met some of the most amazing people — including my wife — and my business partners. I’m the co-founder of a marketing and AI agency called IMMORAL, which has a division dedicated to growing fashion businesses. Everything I know comes from modeling and this outrageous curiosity that defines me.

Have you ever had moments of self-doubt or personal struggle?

Of course. We all have self-doubt, because we’re human. We’re not meant to handle this crazy amount of attention; we’re meant to hunt and grow with our people. But as you grow up, you realize there’s always an excuse — either “you’re not the one they’re looking for,” or “you’re perfect for the job.” As models, and as humans, we hear “no” ten times more often than “yes.” The faster you learn not to be defeated by that, the less you’ll suffer. I always tell young models and people in the industry: keep going, keep your head up. You’re loved by the ones you love, and that will never change.

Being in the public eye isn’t easy. How do you take care of your mental health?

I went to therapy a lot as a kid and a teenager. I’ve always liked to express myself, and I’m not afraid to talk openly about my problems. I believe that when you can say out loud what’s happening to you, you’re forcing yourself to truly understand your emotions — and that’s already halfway to solving the problem. And of course, it’s so important to have people who love you and will always take the time to listen, even if they don’t fully understand what you’re going through. 

Tell us more about your company! How did it start, and how is it going?

When I finished my Economics degree, I started a company with my brother and some partners. It was basically a directory of marketing agencies, web developers, and design studios. We had a great database, but then the government changed the data management laws, and we lost about 80% of our clients. So we decided to sell the database, and I focused on my modeling career. A few years later, my current partner, Marco, built a new business helping brands grow online. We’ve always had a great friendship and mutual respect, and one day he reached out to me and my brother with an idea: to create a new division called IMMORAL FASHION. We combined our experience in fashion and our network with his expertise in scaling e-commerce. Now we’re focusing on AI, because it’s changing everything, and we want to stay at the forefront of new technologies. It’s been a fantastic journey — and I hope it lasts a long time and keeps bringing us joy.

Tell us about the TV show you’re working on! What’s it about, and how do you feel about it?

I’ve never done TV before, but as I always say, when opportunity knocks, you have to adapt and step out of your comfort zone. I’m still filming, and I have a non-disclosure agreement, but I can tell you a bit: it’s a competition featuring 12 Spanish celebrities, where we compete to become the Master of Sewing. We design, choose fabrics, and craft our own pieces. It’s basically the Spanish version of The Great British Sewing Bee. It’s been intense, but super fun. It will air on Spanish public television this coming January.

What are your hopes for the future?

I just want to become the man I’ve always wanted to be — and I think I’m on my way. I want to have fun, build genuine relationships, love the people around me, and spread love everywhere I go.

BREATHE + BEHOLD
*by Kristian Presnal

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

As the Fall 2025 shows have proven, finding the perfect equation for a faraway escape is no mean feat: choosing to embrace playfulness, understanding proportion play and toying with volumes from a wealth of styles can come in handy to solve conundrums of these kinds.

Thus, brace yourselves: ever since the term quiet luxury was adopted by the luxury and medium houses, offerings have delivered uncomplicated versions of pieces we wear day-in-day-out: from classic dresses and separates to a heightened sense of ease and coats, to name but a few. While many trends have fallen by the wayside, several years on, the Nordic region remains strong in its timeless—yet subtly experimental—vision, and its landscapes as well as collections are no different.

LE MILE’s Fashion Director dipped into the Hanaholmen’s naturalesque setting and directed a visual story that’s worth your attention. Highlights include the perfect wool-blend structured jacket (pair with the equally lust-worthy skirt and loaders) from Loro Piana, a breezy option from Issey Miyake, nut-coloured blazers from Random Identities by Stefano Pilati, which will make for an appealing alternative to your usual true browns, tongue-in-cheek toppers from Rolf Ekroth and double-breasted piece from Valentino. Scroll on for these and many more gems, and become the embodiment of this season’s versatile spirit. You’re welcome.

Hotel Hanaholmen
Hanaholmen is both a cultural and cooperation centre for Sweden and Finland, as well as a boutique hotel with a renowned restaurant. Located just six kilometres from central Helsinki, it offers guests a serene escape amid the beauty of the archipelago atmosphere. The Hanaholmen Hotel is a distinctive fusion of 1970s modernism, Nordic art, and contemporary comfort. Its interiors reflect a thoughtful dialogue between classic Scandinavian design and modern craftsmanship, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance and calm.The hotel features a beautifully preserved 1970s pool and sauna area, complemented by a striking mirrored-glass sauna offering a 360-degree view of the surrounding nature. In early 2026, Hanaholmen will unveil ten new junior suites, designed by Jukka Halminen of KOKO3, further enhancing the hotel’s dialogue between heritage and innovation.

SHARP EQUATION
*with Marco de Sario

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

As the appeal of breezy, wear-anywhere aesthetics appears yet to wane, this season’s staple pieces presents a mood-swinging shortcut to modern luxury.

With boxy shapes, old-school cuts and free of fuss volumes, this is the equation for now – so take the Fall-Winter 2025 collections as your muse and invest in one of LE MILE’s favourites (or hunt one down from the first time around) to ensure proper elegance. An all-grey look can elevate a coat into elegant territory and, paired with some good skin-tight separates, is the epitome of comfy chic. Accordingly, here are the best bits on offer now. I cannot recommend that Prada overcoat enough. You’re welcome.

BRAVING THE CUT
*with Tommaso Bellini

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

The appeal of premium and minimalist comfort has yet to wane – and, whatever your personal style proclivities, the Fall 2025 collections have plenty to choose from.

Whether you prefer your razor-sharp tailoring with a slouchy twist, or your fuss-free essentials slightly sculptural, here’s how to wear Fall’s minimal volumes with maximum impact. From Valentino’s wear-anywhere blazers, Celine’s cardigans, Giorgio Armani’s tailored offerings to Brunello Cucinelli’s smart outerwear, this ample pool of options is yours for the taking — as shown ever brilliantly on Tommaso Bellini. But the most important message? Don’t overthink it.
