"I feel like you can smell the cigars and taste the rum, he said of the collection, which blended mid-century Havana with 1980s Miami and filtered it all through Snyder's modern, cosmopolitan lens. Think voluminous tailoring with nipped waists in soft, sueded linen. Or pleated trousers paired with semi-sheer, camp-collar shirts and cropped jackets inspired by Ricky Ricardo in the 50s. Naturally, considering a big chunk of the fabrics come from the country, there was also a healthy dose of Italian swagger and sophistication."
"The fabrics remind me of the generous proportions that Mr. Armani used to use in the late '90s, Fraser said. Todd dresses guys like me, refugees from the '80s and '90s. We don't look like we're trying too hard. We still look cool. Courtesy of Todd Snyder Brendan Fraser, Todd Snyder, and Holden Fraser. Lest you get the impression that the younger generation might not appreciate all this, Fraser's son, Holden, was there to dispel any misconceptions. I thought it was gorgeous,"
Todd Snyder’s La Buena Vida spring-summer 2026 collection fused mid-century Havana and 1980s Miami aesthetics through a modern, cosmopolitan lens. Voluminous tailoring with nipped waists, sueded linen, pleated trousers, semi-sheer camp-collar shirts and cropped jackets evoked midcentury and retro-TV references alongside Italian fabric quality. The collection balanced masculine refinement with relaxed, effortless cool, favoring generous proportions and shapes. Attendees responded enthusiastically across generations, noting sensory cues, refined silhouettes, and classic proportions reminiscent of late-'90s Armani. The show showcased craftsmanship, lively references, and a coherent mood of rum-and-cigar glamour translated into wearable contemporary menswear.
