Kris Van Assche Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

The Work­force–Show­ing one of his strongest col­lec­tions to date, Bel­gian designer Kris Van Ass­che turned to world affairs to take hold of his lat­est inspi­ra­tion. Cast­ing the banker and the work­ing class as his char­ac­ters of the sea­son, Van Ass­che took his stead­fast pen­chant for suit­ing to a new dimen­sion. Evok­ing a cer­tain ele­gance that felt fresh, men of a roman­tic imag­i­na­tion breezed by the cat­walk. For an ele­ment so fre­quently referred to, Van Assche’s turn to the work­er­swear aes­thetic prompted a regal qual­ity when blended with his skills in con­struc­tion and drap­ing. Relaxed trousers, cut to a fine art floated by while more fre­quented items like the bomber jacket felt deci­sively urban. Jux­ta­posed with knits that fell like a dream, in a sea­son with so much focus on suit­ing, Kris Van Assche’s fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion exe­cuted the fun­da­men­tal with such ease and difference.

Tot­ing eleven designs for the spring sea­son, Van Ass­che cre­ates four vari­a­tions that very much echo his own fash­ion sen­ti­ments. Sleek, volu­mi­nous and mod­ern, the col­lec­tion brings Eastpak’s clas­sic util­i­tar­i­an­ism into the sea­son with a sharp affec­tion for the light wardrobe. /​ Styling by Mauri­cio Nardi.
