Master Class–Masterfully evolving and refining his vision of men of intellect and wisdom, Siki Im ventures into new territories of sophistication for spring 2012. With cleaner lines and sleeker tailoring fused with the label’s trademark deconstruction and loose silhouette, Im’s scholarly gentlemen is reinvented with new minimal sensibility and modernity. The pairing of a sharply constructed blazer with billowing trousers results in a dichotomy of traditional and contemporary elegance. Exuding an organic and effortless sartorial flair, an ease of craftsmanship is cultivated with restraint and control.

Graphic Sportswear–Libertine stripes out with a playful sense of humor the for spring 2012 season. Although the collection was heavily printed, a strong showcasing of tailored separates supplemented the youthful lineup. Cardigans and shorts were imprinted with graphic stripes and circles, while blazers as well as footwear were covered with flowers and eyeballs. Among the monochromatic color palette, shimmering sequences furthered the camp and cheeky affair with relentless charm.

The Well-Proportioned Times–Robert Geller takes his signature style and reinvents the wheel with a new focus on shape and proportions. Working in leather and mesh as well as a seasoned color palette of subdued hues, Geller gradually transferred the focus from soft tailoring to ensembles with a little edge. From a relaxed double-breasted jacket to a cropped coat or parka with ballooned sleeves, the outerwear did a great deal of the work in a collection where layered shirting took on an easy pacing. Whether it was a button-down with small lapels, a boxy short-sleeved number or a lengthened mesh top, Robert Geller’s latest collection resulted in a spring collection that juxtaposed a modern sophistication with an effortless cool.
