Agnès B Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week
Toning down the theatrics, Agnès B goes for a relatively streamlined collection that showcases a British sensibility juxtaposed with a rebellious streak. Interjecting the image of leather clad youth into a collection that plays with common formalities, Agnès B touches upon influences old and new that meet the scope of the label’s diverse man.
Dries Van Noten Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week
Following a rebellious bleached season, Dries Van Noten returns to form with a new collection boasting formal aspirations. Juxtaposing ornate embellishments with grounded neutrals, Van Noten embraces a relaxed silhouette for a lax approach to luxury. Outside the impromptu fur and zipper accents, the range takes distinct shape around billowing trousers as well as the unexpected but welcomed inclusion of chunky knits. At large, fall’s collection takes Dries Van Noten’s knack for tailoring and combines it with voluminous silhouettes for an outing that maintains a certain sophistication, while also embracing a chic comfort.
Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week
The latest collection from Louis Vuitton finds its inspiration in an unlikely source, more precisely – Amish. Subscribing to a bleak state of affairs, the latest outing from Louis Vuitton saw a blackout where suiting was the main attraction. Playing with technical fabrics and a jarring use of vibrant orange, the lineup consisted of the French house playing its hand at tailoring while utilizing modern lines and shapes for a sophisticated feat.
Z Zegna Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
A vision in predominantly black and gray, the Z Zegna man hit the catwalk taking on traditional separates in a refreshing young cut. Designed with room to breathe, the individual pieces hit the nail on the head with a quality that was both casual and chic. Taking the formal aspect of essentials like the double breasted coat and making it accessible with a boxy shape and a fun use of prints, Z Zegna executed several other pieces in a similar fashion. From an oversize mac coat and armor-like outerwear finishes to shrunken knits, Z Zegna showed a playful but skilled hand with the utmost sophistication.
Prada Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
Continuing in the vein of her retro aspirations, Miuccia Prada sought to make old ideas new once more and the result just may have been a collection not quite for this dimension. Tearing a page from the family photo album, circa the 70’s, Prada’s man acquired a pair of knee high socks along with boxy polos, sporting a new shimmering finish. Tackling zany proportions and the infamous tracksuit, fall’s lineup came together easily in a cohesive package, but along for the ride were a couple stumbles in modern grounding.
Roberto Cavalli Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
No stranger to exorbitant details, Roberto Cavalli finds the soul of his latest collection in a rich new outing that boasts a hint of the glamorous 70’s. Finding room for the three-piece suit, while accessorizing with neckties and tribal accents, Cavalli brings in his over the top finesse with dynamic outerwear. From shearling and fur to the occasional knit, fall’s collection takes from the past and charges into the immediate future with a charming nostalgia and style that easily conforms to the signature allure of the Cavalli man.
