Kenzo Homme Spring 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
A Place in the Sun–Warm thoughts of 1960’s Hawaii and the gorgeous images from the portfolio of Slim Aarons inspire a tropical getaway for the latest Kenzo collection from Antonio Marras. Embarking on a charming tale, a general relaxed silhouette takes priority as a myriad of prints lend the range its spirit. From stripes and floral prints to polka dots, the Kenzo man enjoys some time off in a wonderful array of blue, green as well as fuchsia. Showcasing tailored staples, ranging from the double breasted jacket and pleated suiting shorts to semi-fitted trousers, Marras once again demonstrates a leveled hand, employing a concept and sound construction side by side with great results.

Building Blocks–Exercising his architectural background for spring 2012, Gustavo Lins tackles a new silhouette with much cleaner lines and structure than previous seasons. Fitted jackets, sharply constructed outerwear and smart shirting embrace bright hues of yellow with shades of jet black. Furthermore, unique textural fabrications and subtle graphic prints propel basic offerings to the forefront with charm and interest.

Alexis Mabille Spring 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Water Games, Working Title: States of Undress–Always one for novelty and a little humor, Alexis Mabille delights with spring’s collection. While underwear and swimwear provide the perfect seasonal accents to a nautical theme, the lineup employs an interesting execution. From stripe trimmed monochromatic numbers to luxurious silk paired with a worn plaid print, the season mixes just the right amount of camp with daring styles. Appearing alongside easy tees and a stable of espadrilles, checks and other graphic forays dress refined suiting for a final show that is as posh as it is cheeky.
Moschino Spring 2012 | Milan Fashion Week
Greaser Milanese–While it is apparent the designers behind Moschino were inspired by the Elvis and Fonzie-type characters of the fifties, there were several ambiguous elements at play that gave the collection a modern appeal. Two jackets, one in baby blue suede and the other in black leather, mirrored the timeless jean jacket of the same era. On the other hand, the quintessential Moschino shirt fueled spring’s collection with playing card motifs. Another standout element was none other than the printed trouser, a trend that has been strong this season, seen here both casually and in sartorial splendor – which is where the garments really shine. Rounding out a charming show, suits were dressed in gold and adorned with flashing lights, making for a showstopper of looks destined for stars, no matter how large or small.
Z Zegna Spring 2012 | Milan Fashion Week
Z of Elegance–The washes of blue drifted out at Z Zegna in shades of navy, baby blue and slowly faded into a sea of white, cleansing the palette for what was yet to come. Gorgeous colors of mustard yellow and earthy brown took over the fine selection of tailored blazers, lightweight knitwear and oversized outwears. Continuing a popular trend this season in Milan, the star of the show was the carefree silhouette of loose-fitting trousers, made even more elegant paired with the luxe inclusion of silk tuxedo jackets.
