Alexandre Plokhov Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Dark Truce–Stag­ing his debut run­way show for his name­sake label, Alexan­dre Plokhov kicked off the evening with dark glam­our tak­ing the reigns. Cre­at­ing svelte fig­ures, clad in black, slen­der trousers came together with long skirts, paired with elon­gated tops. From a sleeve­less apron-​​cut blazer and asym­met­ri­cally fas­tened jacket to ultra-​​glam acces­sories that included both gloves and shawls, Plokhov treated the New York audi­ence with a rebel­lious gam­ble before show­ing a hand at more struc­tured wears. Loosely tai­lored, the pin-​​striped suit made an appear­ance, fea­tur­ing an off­beat sil­hou­ette … a fit­ted cropped jacket, plung­ing neck­line, com­plete with trousers fea­tur­ing a loosely draped crotch. Blend­ing suit­ing with tunics and knitwear, Plokhov made the return to more bold gar­ments by the collection’s end, exper­i­ment­ing with sil­hou­ettes and shape for a struc­tured uni­form, jux­ta­posed with slick leather for a strong final impression.

The Rugged Dandy–Approach­ing the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son, Rag & Bone design­ers David Neville and Mar­cus Wain­wright took hold of the dandy and roughed him up with a wild eye for the unkempt out­doors. Infil­trated by woodsy sen­ti­ments, fine tai­lor­ing took on a util­i­tar­ian pur­pose, jux­ta­posed with details of the mod­ern age. Lasered fab­ri­ca­tions and satin lin­ings joined care­fully placed leather inclu­sions for a notion of today’s designs. Mean­while, relaxed trousers as well as heavy coats of wool tied into a Lon­don roman­ti­cism that is indif­fer­ent to time. A sub­tle twist of menswear fun­da­men­tals, the col­lec­tion as a whole fueled a space for clas­sic ideas with a hint of exper­i­men­tal fod­der aimed at the season.

Tommy Hilfiger Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

March­ing For­ward–The men of Tommy Hil­figer marched to a dif­fer­ent beat for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son.

Bring­ing together bur­gundy and black, leather and shear­ling, Tommy Hil­figer was sim­ply rav­ish­ing.

Wear­able but still tapped into the whims of the adven­tur­ous man, time­less cuts afforded to out­er­wear such as the over­coat were in sync with more bold ven­tures that included a cropped jacket. Alto­gether blend­ing an idea of loungewear with a more for­mal fig­ure, Richard Chai came out on top with a con­ser­v­a­tive show­ing that high­lighted items that men can grasp onto and love … tak­ing a base­ball jacket or beloved sweater along for the ride, sea­son to season.
