The Age of Innocence meets Gangs of New York for the latest outing from New York-based designer Timo Weiland. Working with co-designer Alan Eckstein, Weiland turned to precise proportions and exquisite tailoring to portray their idea of dressing as an art. Using texture to their advantage, the basis of the collection centers around the grounding of the suit as casual, while sharp outerwear takes a more formal approach–cast in both wools and knits. Altogether, fall’s venture succeeds in gracing everyday wear with a touching sense of refinement.

Leaving his dandy behind, Antonio Azzuolo takes a trip west this fall. Combining quirky knits with suiting separates, Azzuolo breaks with structure and shows a more casual side for a change. Going the way of unexpected, the collection evokes a retro vibe in favor of the excitement provided by a second life and new uses. Also tipping the scales in favor of trends, leggings find their way into the collection, being paired with suiting trousers. Altogether, fall’s collection brings together an unusual grouping of aesthetics that will prove to either be a hit or miss.

Positioned as “a tribute to the beauty of mixing wardrobe elements that don’t always seem to fit”, Robert Geller’s latest collection fused the utmost sophistication with the effortless finesse of the downtown beatnik. Playing with fitted and relaxed looks, Geller sent a well-proportioned range down the runway that moved as well as it was styled. Dressed in lilacs, charcoals and greens, Geller’s man was on the move, quickly walking down the runway with an extra bounce in his step. From fur shawls and leather jackets to the cropped asymmetrical cape, the collection produced a modern wardrobe of clarity. Tailoring and great fabrics spoke to the classic sense of the gentleman, but Geller turned this notion on its side, infusing the range with a rebellious quality. For every sleek evening coat, Geller sent out a striking modern piece, whether it was a shrunken dinner jacket or layered blazer. Rounding out fall’s collection, the show closed with a somber number consisting of a cape, elongated top and simple denim. It was the image of the quintessential Robert Geller man–a romantic thought born from the conversation of yesterday and the future.
