London Fashion Week | James Long Fall 2010
Creating a world where lush timeless knits can harmoniously co-exist with modern leather garments, designer James Long finds success in the details. Whereas many of his peers embraced leather sleeve inserts for the upcoming fall season, Long goes the extra mile, beginning with two distinct classes of garments before finding a common thread. Skillfully crafting separates, consisting of knitwear and leather with impeccable attention to detail, the two contrasting elements are gradually brought together for a near genius result. Delivering both edge and comfort, a playful mix of fabrics is rounded out by a small splash of color–lending a dark and sophisticated collection an upbeat mood.
London Fashion Week | Topman Design Fall 2010
Topman pulls away from the pack this season to stage their first standalone show. Delving into an earthy color palette that has its fair share of browns and burgundy accents, the collection exhibits a certain militaristic touch. While outerwear steals the show with an oversize appeal, a nature motif is explored with gradients across the collection’s shirting. Meanwhile, relaxed trousers round out a range that combines a young and masculine aesthetic with a progressive style.
London Fashion Week | J.W. Anderson Fall 2010
For the fall 2010 season, J.W. Anderson’s more graceful approach to menswear is at odds with an imaginative rebellious faction. Inspired by “saints or assassins with a cross-country paramilitary vibe”, Anderson pulls from varied references including his Irish heritage. The result are constrasting elements that can be interpreted in several ways. For instance, the romantic idea of countryside plaid is understated with subdued colors and a semi-traditional cut before going the way of a punk aesthetic with a vibrant red and more modern cuts. From stern dark suiting and bold wraps to the quaint cardigan, J.W. Anderson layers this season’s collection with excitement and unexpectedness.
New York Fashion Week | Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2010
Clean and to the point, the latest collection from Tommy Hilfiger firmly retained its strong foundation to the core of American menswear with strong tailored lines and a conservative array of earthy hues. From houndstooth and fine piping to pleated trousers, the collection was a revolving door of contemporary garments for the professional man on the move.
