Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY just unveiled their new SS24 Menswear collection at Milan Fashion Week called “These New Caroleans.” New Caroleans were people alive during the reign of King Charles III, and in an embrace of LOVERBOY’s core belief that the future is queer–the SS24 collection is a kind of manifesto emboldening the pioneers that will lead the way.
The New Caroleans collection is a delightful fusion of 17th-century influences and modern designs. Vibrant and bold color combinations coexist harmoniously with contemporary interpretations of tartan patterns. Additionally, LOVERBOY's commitment to well-being brings a fresh perspective to activewear. As a final touch, the collection features ornate suits of armor meticulously crafted from upcycled Wedgwood jasperware, providing symbolic protection for the adventurous New Caroleans as they boldly step into the future. These remarkable pieces pay homage to Josiah Wedgwood's influential role as a politically engaged supporter of the arts and serve as a precursor to upcoming LOVERBOY x Wedgwood collaborations.
