Elements of sportswear and religious iconography were fused to dramatic effect in Givenchy‘s SS13 collection and this printed satin and jersey sweatshirt aptly captures the subversive spirit. Finished with appliquéd stars, this oversized crew neck piece is set to transform your city line-up with a dose of slick rebellion ($833).

Softly structured and completely unlined, this Gucci tote bag is a splendid example of the supple properties of fine, full grain leather and superior craftsmanship. This go-anywhere piece is designed to look better with age, so you can use it through the working week and the weekend without worrying about scratches or bumps ($1805).

Belgian designer Mr Raf Simons seeks to modernise and update standard menswear tropes, whether it’s in terms of design or technical construction. Here he takes on the classic blazer, adding a streamlined feel to this wool and mohair-blend version with an extra chest pocket and press studs in place of the standard buttons. The result is unique and compelling, and a sure-fire route to stylish sartorial flair ($1,504).

Givenchy‘s high top sneakers always pack a punch and this pair takes sportswear-inspired shapes to the next level. In contrasting bright-red leather with white rubber soles, they feature bands of metallic stars over each bridge for hard-hitting style ($615).

Givenchy‘s series of striking images of the Madonna made its SS13 collection one of the most talked-about this season. This printed cotton-jersey tee offers an effortlessly cool way to wear the look ($564).
