Wooster is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of men’s street style. A pioneer of both the nu-tattoo sleeve and the nu-handlebar mustache, this adman turned retail-man turned style-cipher has got it all going on.

Sitting next to Badia at a show is almost as delightful as checking out what he’s wearing: This season I predict an arsenal of loosely belted trenches over wide pants with an absolutely perfect break. And shades.

The editor of W magazine is so well dressed as to be intimidating. He masters his arsenal of directional tailoring with a virtuoso feel for harmonious proportion—and a dedication to high-legged pants—that marks him out as a true Florentine.

The men’s fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman and costume designer for the Academy Awards, Pask is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a well-groomed beard. Why so? Pask is a diverse dresser, whose daily looks are impossible to call. He wears it (all) well.

Vogue’s Editor at Large is not a menswear fixture, for the breadth of his purview allows him only a cameo role. Yet when he does land on planet mankle, it’s ka-pow. The angular king of lilac and burnt orange.

When O’Shea shaved off his trademark beard last year, My Theresa’s buying director broke pogonophile hearts everywhere. Now it’s back, albeit shorter—and this Aussie’s ripper selection of righteous suiting never went away. He should have been in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Le Figaro’s craic-loving, Irish-born, twinkle-eyed fashion scribe is a fellow whose heart is as large as his trousers are tight. He is big into Berluti—lucky chap—and at winter shows tends to break out a beaver overcoat the tsars would have envied. Also gives good hat.

Thom Browne has no bigger fan than GQ Japan’s editor in chief, whose professorial mien perfectly complements the American designer’s geometrically precise tailoring. Consistently top of the class.

Ah, Marchetti. La Repubblica’s fashion editor was wearing the furry Gucci slip-ons before most womenswear editors had even seen them. He is a master of ruffle, the day pajama, and sandal-with-suiting. A commanding dresser.

Imagine Hemingway via Mastroianni and you kind of get Rabensteiner. The fashion editor of L’Uomo Vogue carries himself like an intellectual bohemian who has a golden ticket to the highest temples of Italian tailoring.
