Adrien Sahores for Pierre Balmain Fall/​Winter 2012

Parisian Chic–Cast in mid­night blue, white and black, Pierre Balmain’s sopho­more out­ing sees the sec­ondary label turn­ing a keen eye to detail as it mixes tai­lored wears with more casual sta­ples for a mod­ern appeal. Tap­ping Ford Europe model Adrien Sahores as the line’s star once more, the sea­son is off to a start with sharp suit­ing. From the double-​​breasted blazer to a three-​​piece suit in blue, fall’s lineup eases into a sophis­ti­cated stride as trimmed lapels and fine cuts con­tribute to a luxe image. Jux­ta­pos­ing sharp lines with youth­ful sep­a­rates, knits with zip­pered accents and clas­sic pieces such as the biker jacket round out a dis­tin­guished fall/​winter outing.

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. Trad­ing in the Amer­i­can prep that Hil­figer has become so syn­ony­mous with, the lav­ish col­lec­tion read as a rich set off the run­ways of Europe. Bring­ing together bur­gundy and black, leather and shear­ling, Tommy Hil­figer was sim­ply rav­ish­ing. Armed with an aris­to­cratic flair, deli­cious tex­tiles deliv­ered a sharp arse­nal of arrest­ing pieces. Acces­sorized with leather rid­ing gloves, the show kicked off with tai­lored jack­ets and coats, func­tional and ready to be trans­formed at a moment’s notice, cour­tesy of tear away details. Cham­pi­oning the leather inset and bring­ing the elbow patch to the front for a divinely mod­ern look, the devil was in the details. From pleated trousers and sleeve detail­ing to a fetch­ing palette of muted tones, Tommy Hil­figer cre­ated an army for the mod­ern age, bring­ing the ulti­mate lux­ury to the Amer­i­can stage.

Acne Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

The Young Road to Lux­ury–Bring­ing Paris Fash­ion Week to a close, Swedish label Acne embarked on a col­li­sion course of young and old for a col­lec­tion that pep­pered the clas­sics with a free spirit. With lay­er­ing play­ing a key com­po­nent to the season’s wardrobe, inter­est­ing fab­ri­ca­tions were uti­lized. From quilted shirt­ing employed under­neath a boxy short-​​sleeved sweat­shirt to pleather worn with a for­mal over­coat, a rebel­lious qual­ity was achieved with great sub­tleties. Pil­ing on the sweaters and pro­duc­ing tops with vary­ing sleeve lengths for the ulti­mate com­bi­na­tion of pieces, Acne brought together tapered trousers, over­size blaz­ers as well as suit­ing shorts for a highly wear­able feat.

Miharayasuhiro Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Com­ing Undone–Mil­i­taris­tic ref­er­ences and a sense of rugged ele­gance come together for Miharayasuhiro’s lat­est Parisian show­ing. Work­ing around the idea of strong sep­a­rates, struc­tured items like the cropped pea­coat are con­trasted against over­size cargo pants. Accent­ing a somber sea of dark hues with a large plaid print, vary­ing pro­por­tions are melded together. Lay­ered, fine con­struc­tion gives way to jack­ets with halved sleeves, cam­ou­flage suit­ing and a tai­lored sense of sportswear.
