Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week

Turn­ing the season’s six­ties inspi­ra­tions inside out, there was def­i­nitely sub­ver­sive ele­ments at work for Yves Saint Lau­rent cre­ative direc­tor Ste­fano Pilati’s lat­est col­lec­tion. Play­ing a mis­chie­vous hand at mod­esty, Pilati blended a for­mal out­ing with his exag­ger­ated sil­hou­ettes for a cheeky ten­sion of pieces. From relaxed to fit­ted in terms of shape and a shift in details, rang­ing from a lack of lapels to enlarged lapels, the col­lec­tion became a game of chang­ing ele­ments. Regard­less of direc­tion, fall’s lineup exer­cised restraint for a cohe­sive show­ing of rigid for­mal­ity unpacked.

Dior Homme Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week

Mak­ing his mark on Dior Homme with a keen eye for cut and move­ment, Kris Van Ass­che fur­ther expanded his vision with a hand at a very styl­ized pre­sen­ta­tion. Moody but grace­ful, the man of Dior Homme was well-​​suited with a wardrobe of inter­change­able pieces that ush­ered in a lineup of raw edges and ele­gant lines. Carv­ing out a mid­dle ground between for­mal and casual, the col­lec­tion found its foot­ing with sen­si­ble pieces and a hint of drama. Infus­ing bil­low­ing sil­hou­ettes from trousers to out­er­wear with a sub­tle west­ern influ­ence, an inter­est­ing kalei­do­scope of ideas came together for a show­ing of sen­si­tiv­ity with a backbone.

Kenzo Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week

Kenzo cre­ative direc­tor Anto­nio Mar­ras looks to detec­tive sto­ries for the inspi­ra­tion of fall’s smart col­lec­tion. Fus­ing both for­mal and casual styles, the Kenzo man is put together with a lit­tle fun and mys­tery. From the high­brow detec­tive and mis­chie­vous vil­lain to the com­mon civil­ian, Mar­ras’ col­lec­tion comes together with a quaint British sen­si­bil­ity. Bring­ing the scholar out to play, printed knits join the collection’s con­sis­tent core of jack­ets that pro­vide struc­ture as well as a relaxed out­ing. Turn­ing to fine leather, boots add a rebel­lious edge, while kilts add an old touch made new. Alto­gether a mesh­ing of var­i­ous char­ac­ters with inten­sive per­son­al­i­ties, the new Kenzo col­lec­tion offers a wardrobe for many a man come the fall 2011 season.

Expand­ing on the mod­ern uni­form, Kris Van Ass­che infuses the suit with more vol­ume for an effort­less cool.

With larger than life jack­ets and tops as the collection’s focus, trousers get an easy straight cut while Van Asshe also debuts his new col­lec­tion of bags in col­lab­o­ra­tion with East­pak. Round­ing out the range, brown sur­faces to high­light one final focus on design and tailoring.
