Paris Fashion Week | Dries Van Noten Fall 2010
Dries Van Noten sent a graphic parade down the runway earlier today with detailed piping and larger than life prints making quite the statement. Riding an influx of color and excitement, Dries Van Noten interjected men’s suiting with great personality. From dressed down sweats-styled trousers and bold electric blue separates to contrasting inserts, Van Noten’s man proved to be the life of the party. Bridging the gap between modest and playful, the collection executed a well-balanced turn at a personable collection for the man of all occasions.
Paris Fashion Week | Louis Vuitton Fall 2010
Louis Vuitton plays it safe this season with a relaxed attempt at formal suiting. Adding leather inserts to jackets and elasticated cuffs to trousers, the Louis Vuitton man moves to downplay his prestige. Down outerwear may help his case, but the collection overall comes across as static with the exception of an arresting pair of duo-tone colored boots.
Paris Fashion Week | Viktor & Rolf Fall 2010
Borrowing this season’s theme from the Rolling Stones song Paint It Black, designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren bring their signature menswear quirks to the runway for the first time. Unveiling a refined collection based in a dark color palette, points of interest are sporadic as the Viktor & Rolf man is doused in paint. Always alert of this danger, the collection provides for a juxtaposing of the formal and casual, ranging from quilting and trousers with elasticated cuffs to the full on dinner jacket. Staging a small show for the first time around, Viktor & Rolf played it cautious, but with added confidence and a penchant for the absurd, the sky is the limit with the future boding well.
Milan Fashion Week | Roberto Cavalli Fall 2010
Typically outlandish and indulgent, Roberto Cavalli plays to the contrary and continues on a safe trek through fall. Here, soft tailoring lends itself to a delicately executed mix of patterns and subdued colors. Although Cavalli’s collection may be tame in comparison to past collections, the designer still manages to incorporate his usual luxurious whims with the inclusion of leather, jacquard and velvet. As a final touch, a heavy sea of black is lightened by open weave knits and feather light tanks ideal for fall layering.
