Gazzarrini Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Trav­el­ing Man–Gazzarrini’s lat­est col­lec­tion is pro­pelled by the trans­la­tion of imagery found in trav­els to Bruges. Fused with a nat­ural sar­to­r­ial finesse, gar­ments reflect their inspired envi­ron­ment with a chic ease. Tak­ing in the build­ings, the bricks, the angles, beloved prints dress sharp tai­lored wears. Cropped trousers are a work in them­selves with a high waist, low plung­ing crotch and cropped fin­ish. Paired with sculp­tural out­er­wear, sheep­skin, cash­mere and other final fab­ri­ca­tions con­tribute to a luxe on-​​pouring. Rounded out with intri­cate knitwear and a burst of hot pink, the Gaz­zarrini man is clas­sic but exhibits a cer­tain spon­tane­ity for the mod­ern age.

Ports 1961 Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Play­ing Shapes–Ports 1961 design­ers Fiona Cibani and Ian Hyl­ton pull together a metic­u­lous col­lec­tion focus­ing on sharp lines, con­struc­tion and vary­ing pro­por­tions. Cast in a somber gray palette, the label’s lead­ing man lives up to the clas­sic image of Sav­ille Row. Don­ning double-​​breasted suits and clad in out­er­wear, cut with a min­i­mal­ist hand, Ports 1961’s gen­tle­man embraces a smooth sea­son that plays tai­lored tra­di­tion against play­ful explo­ration. From nar­row, well-​​framed jack­ets to a final roundup of volu­mi­nous coats, Ports 1961 intro­duces a sea­son of func­tion and spon­tane­ity for a mod­est success.

Diesel Black Gold Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Raw Ele­gance–Mak­ing the move to Milan for their Ital­ian debut, Diesel Black Gold returned to the clean-​​cut path, lend­ing clas­sic stand­bys a youth­ful edge. Bring­ing together gar­ments with unfin­ished hems, thick cable knit sweaters and pleated trousers, a vari­ety of pieces were revealed for a new wardrobe of unlikely com­pan­ions. Dress­ing jacket and vest com­bos in ver­ti­cal stripes and includ­ing the biker jacket as a wel­comed addi­tion, Diesel Black Gold brought their vision full cir­cle with a por­trayal of time­less ele­gance, mod­i­fied for today’s generation.

Giorgio Armani Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

New World–Look­ing to bring a new dimen­sion to his cel­e­brated vision on tai­lored clas­sics, Gior­gio Armani revamped the stan­dard sil­hou­ette, embrac­ing stretch fab­rics and loose fits for fall’s col­lec­tion. Accent­ing a famil­iar black and gray palette with bursts of bright blue, Armani’s man was imme­di­ately sharp, but relaxed as sep­a­rates made the move between tra­di­tional and mod­ern. While vel­vet pants bal­looned in shape, only to fall into a tapered fin­ish, the double-​​breasted jacket was at once laid-​​back. Alto­gether a seam­less mix of two worlds, Gior­gio Armani’s fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion turned out a phe­nom­e­nal show­ing that pit­ted impec­ca­ble con­struc­tion against bold design.

Dsquared² Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Schol­arly Days–Dsquared² design­ers Dan and Dean Caten send their boys back to school for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son. Bring­ing smarts to their sig­na­ture sta­ples, loosely slung denim was paired with light lay­ers con­sist­ing of leather jack­ets, sweat­shirts, button-​​downs and sweater vests. Acces­sorized with news­boy hats, duf­fels and back­packs, the season’s theme was a no-​​brainer. From goody two shoes prep to the sar­to­r­ial bad boy, Dsquared² packed an easy punch with a relaxed wardrobe that even­tu­ally tran­si­tioned into more pol­ished gar­ments. Still apply­ing their own hand­i­work to evening­wear, denim and sequins col­lided for a cheeky finish.
