Relatively new label Qasimi offers their man a boxy fall season with a deconstruction of the classic suit. Blending luxury with an urban appeal, sleek v-necklines are paired with knits, while chunky, voluminous knits double as outerwear. Meanwhile a larger upper proportion is balanced with fitted pants and sleek combat boots. Altogether, Qasimi creative director H.H. Khalid bin Sultan AlQasimi’s attractive fall showing reflects an unwavering flirtation with luxury and modernity.
Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz explained that the latest collection from the French fashion house took its inspirations from the street, looking to the style of everyday people for motivation. Developing this theme, designer Lucas Ossendrijver turned to a smart mix of both low-key and luxe pieces. Balancing the fitted with the relaxed, the collection looked to slouchy knits, lived-in trousers, functional outerwear and cinched waists for a subtle wardrobe update. Rounded out in a primary color palette with a hint of autumn, the collection is deserving of praise for its construction and effortless silhouettes.
Dunhill creative director Kim Jones looks to Clement Court for inspiration this season. Court was responsible for establishing Dunhill’s French presence during the twenties. Looking to an iconic sense of proper British suiting and outerwear, Jones turns out one classic after another–fusing Dunhill’s heritage with everyday function.
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.
