Paris Fashion Week | Kenzo Fall 2010
The mood was upbeat at today’s Kenzo show, where designer Antonio Marras looked to French filmmaker Jacques Tati for inspiration. Taking a cue from an older generation, Marras based fall’s collection around tweed, houndstooth, muted plaid and abstract prints. Accenting a generally gray color palette with the occasional sightings of red, brown and orange, cropped jackets and ankle baring trousers were made complete with spacious outerwear. Altogether, crafting a charming nostalgic affair, Marras delivered an inspiring collection that ended with a bang as models took to Place des Victoires for a showstoping finale.
Paris Fashion Week | Alexis Mabille Fall 2010
Alexis Mabille’s man is at a crossroads. On one hand, he values the classic standbys, but at the same time he is ready to accept the modern age. His attempt at blending the two elements results in Mabille’s second Parisian showing that offers both style and relative shock value. Creating an array of sophisticated looks updated with the addition of leggings, Mabille goes the extra mile to showcase what his man is wearing under all those clothes. Equipped with sock garters and suspenders for the ideal undergarment accessories, Mabille’s man is provocative, but at the surface, a representation of the modern evolution of luxury. Pushing forward, luxe fabrics still hold a certain importance, but Mabille shows a particular fashion sense that is more about adding special details to the ordinary garments that suit everyday life.
Milan Fashion Week | Bottega Veneta Fall 2010
Summing up this season’s collection, Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier explained that with this collection, they “wanted to address the different ways men visualize themselves. Bottega Veneta’s goal is always to expand the vocabulary of men’s wear, to add individuality and expression. So there is sophistication, but also playfulness, bravado, eccentricity, rebelliousness – it all depends on how it’s put together.” Taking that cue, Maier set about with presenting looks for the man of any occasion. While a loose fitted layering of activewear hinted at a chic casualness, low slung denim provided for a sharp contrast against the collection’s more formal approach. The finer points of the collection were constructed by the marriage of high-waist trousers and boxy blazers. Whether dressed in black or a deep purple, Maier’s fall range delivered a functional nonchalance that is ultimately refreshing.
