Ana Locking Fall/​Winter 2012

Time Cap­sule–The recent tur­bu­lent eco­nomic times causes Ana Lock­ing to look back to the 1920’s and the Great Depres­sion of 1929 for the inspi­ra­tion to her fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion. Redefin­ing the struc­tured tai­lor­ing of the time for the mod­ern age, suit­ing serves as the collection’s main vehi­cle, steer­ing the label in a more for­mal direc­tion than usual. As semi-​​fitted trousers are pleated and paired with waist­coats as well as jack­ets, bright col­ors are infused for a cheer­ful spin.

Tim Coppens Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

The Active Uni­form–Tread­ing a fine path for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son, Tim Cop­pens turns to the film Drive for inspi­ra­tion. Fil­ter­ing menswear fun­da­men­tals through a course, asso­ci­ated with rac­ing and hockey, tai­lor­ing is relaxed and moods var­ied. Option­ing fit­ted trousers and a more laid­back sil­hou­ette, found in jog­ging pants, casual and for­mal iden­ti­ties coex­ist. The ground­ing force to knitwear and jack­ets, a sporty aes­thetic is adapted for Coppen’s new uni­form. Sleeves are zip­pered, leather insets embraced and strong lines incor­po­rated for a detailed fin­ish to an evolv­ing season.

Alexander Johansson & Ryan Taylor for Louis Vuitton Pre-​​Fall 2012

Pre-​​flight–Alexan­der Johans­son and Ryan Tay­lor step out for Louis Vuitton’s pre-​​fall 2012 col­lec­tion. The per­fect lead-​​in to their fall/​winter col­lec­tion, shown last month in Paris, the upcom­ing lineup picks up on camel and navy for a calm cool. Mix­ing a sports­wear ele­ment with house her­itage, the man of Louis Vuit­ton is a sharp dressed, whether spruced up or set for a laid-​​back occa­sion. Enlist­ing clas­sic pieces like the tan-​​colored trench and infus­ing the range with fit­ted puffer jack­ets, the won­der­ful lin­ing of the col­lec­tion is com­plete with sweaters, dress shirts and tran­si­tional pieces such as a pair of printed shorts, accom­pa­nied by an array of coor­di­nat­ing garments.

Simon Spurr Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Eng­lish Root­ing–Look­ing for the foun­da­tion of his fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion, Simon Spurr turned to images of Lon­don by Robert Frank. Tak­ing into account early twen­ti­eth cen­tury style and head­ing down a mod­ern course, ref­er­ences that include Tommy Nutter’s rein­ter­preted suit of the 1960’s come into play as Spurr dis­sects suit­ing for a rel­e­vant edge. Bring­ing together rich bur­gundy, brown, navy and other solid col­ors for a col­lec­tion dressed in plaids and tweeds, sub­tle updates were intro­duced. From leather trousers and a mag­ni­fied hounds tooth print to a sig­na­ture pen­chant for fab­ric insets, Simon Spurr’s lat­est efforts resulted in a sound show­ing, high­light­ing a sar­to­r­ial flair jux­ta­posed with mod­ern sentiments.

Band of Outsiders Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Ol’ Santa Fe–Adapt­ing his prep­ster uni­form with the typ­i­cal cheek one has come to expect of Band of Out­siders, designer Scott Stern­berg vis­ited the south­west for the inspi­ra­tion of his lat­est show­ing. Set under the water­color painted sky, Sternberg’s pla­toon came out to play with all their smarts on dis­play. From evening wear to daily essen­tials, a col­lec­tion dressed in rich hues and accented with Navajo-​​inspired prints delighted. Sleepy loungewear pro­vided the quiet coun­ter­part to more pol­ished num­bers, rounded out by blaz­ers, crew­neck sweaters and fit­ted shirt­ing. Mean­while, cor­duroy reared its head with pants and jack­ets adding to a clas­sic Amer­i­cana image. Incor­po­rat­ing quilt­ing and shear­ling, care­fully con­structed out­er­wear added a tough exte­rior to more gen­tle touches such as tas­sel adorned knitwear. Alto­gether mix­ing gar­ments of a sub­dued mood with louder state­ment pieces, Band of Out­siders deliv­ered their finely tai­lored aes­thetic with a splash of south­west­ern nos­tal­gia to color the season.
