Michael Cinco’s M5 couture menswear rising in Jaipur

Jefferson Fernando

Framed by the storied domes and sandstone terraces of Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur, India, Michael Cinco’s latest M5 Couture Menswear collection unfurls like a modern epic—equal parts princely grandeur and avant-garde bravado. Known for dressing royalty and red-carpet elites with jaw-dropping precision, Cinco now turns his masterful eye toward menswear, delivering a collection that is nothing short of a visual crescendo.

In this commanding tableau, three silhouettes stand tall beneath the amber sky—each one a declaration of elegance, opulence, and power.

On the left, a tuxedo jacket dazzles with lattice-patterned gold embroidery punctuated by ruby-like crystal embellishments, a sartorial homage to baroque decadence. The black satin lapel and refined tailoring offer just enough restraint to let the embellishments sing—a refined rockstar’s armor.

At the center, a look fit for a 21st-century Maharaja. This jacket is an opulent cascade of beads and geometries, where gold, emerald, and crimson hues reflect the magic of stained glass and Mughal mosaics. The craftsmanship is precise, yet the message is indulgent. It’s Cinco’s couture codes—drama, precision, excess—rendered in regal resonance.

To the right, the boundary between tailoring and art blurs. A long, robe-like silhouette glides over the body, its black-and-silver sequined surface resembling a storm of digital stardust. The exaggerated bow tie and crisp white shirt inject a classicism that contrasts, yet completes, the look. It’s elegance reimagined—fluid, poetic, and defiantly masculine.

What ties these ensembles together is Cinco’s unrelenting pursuit of spectacle. In a world where menswear often plays it safe, M5 Couture dares to disrupt with embroidery, embellishment, and emotion.

Cinco has always dressed men as if they were born to rule—and in this collection, they do. Whether inspired by ancient royalty, rock legends, or romantic poets, the M5 man emerges as a modern sovereign—draped in storytelling, swathed in symbolism, and tailored for a kingdom of his own making.
