Richard Chai Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

The Util­i­tar­ian–Cinch­ing his men into parkas and jack­ets with hooded attach­ments, Richard Chai pre­pared for quite the cold sea­son. Cap­tur­ing fall in a sea of sil­hou­ettes, both fit­ted and relaxed, tai­lor­ing met func­tion as Chai crafted a wardrobe of vary­ing pro­por­tions. 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.

Grow­ing Up Chai–An eclec­tic on-​​pouring of loose casual looks served as the foun­da­tion for Richard Chai’s spring 2012 out­ing. Slouchy, com­fort­able and not afraid of a few wrin­kles, Chai’s men donned a sta­ble of short­ing ensem­bles, paired with boxy tops. Mix­ing in vibrant col­ors and a myr­iad of infec­tious prints, Richard Chai deliv­ered a youth­ful lineup with over­size sta­ples, ready to be consumed.

Clos­ing the gap between Richard Chai’s menswear and wom­enswear col­lec­tions, fall has an inter­est­ing story in toll. While Chai cham­pi­oned a menswear-​​inspired sea­son for his women last week, yesterday’s show had a soft focus for men. Bring­ing his no-​​fuss appeal full cir­cle, Chai sug­gested a sea­son of calm­ing grays and sleep­wear inspired pieces. Pay­ing more atten­tion to form as well, relaxed pro­por­tions eased their way into fit­ted looks that empha­sized a thought­ful man with strong envelope-​​pushing style on the mind.

Going back­stage at last week’s Richard Chai show­ing, pho­tog­ra­pher Oscar Cor­recher got up close and per­sonal to cap­ture a parade of boys with killer bone struc­ture. Cast­ing a sharp army of mod­els for his lat­est cat­walk ven­ture, Chai had on hand an impres­sive lineup of boys rang­ing from Oscar Tranum and Johannes Lin­der to William Eustace.
