yy Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Raw Sophis­ti­cate–Yohji Yamamoto has always pos­sessed the fine abil­ity of being able to take hon­est gar­ments and lend them a regal spirit, whether cut from lux­u­ri­ous fab­ri­ca­tions or crafted on the mend with any­thing but riches on the mind. The fall/​winter 2012 sea­son is no dif­fer­ent. Some­how, Yamamoto cre­ates a roman­tic fig­ure of his man, dress­ing down his sig­na­ture loosely fit­ted suit­ing with over­size wraps in muted earth tones. Enjoy­ing a lit­tle humor with floppy pipe top hats, a sub­tle cheeky image is jux­ta­posed with the somber mood, cre­ated by out­er­wear boast­ing mil­i­taris­tic insignia. Belong­ing to the same var­ied world, ele­gance is abound with coats bar­ing gold but­tons, prim white neck ties and an inter­est­ing take on the Lon­don banker. Alto­gether the per­fect style palette for the sea­son, Yamamoto once again excels with an aes­thetic that once again feels fresh.

plim23 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2012

Skater Nation–Show­ing abroad once more, Phillip Lim takes a piece of Cal­i­for­nia with him, look­ing to skaters for the inspi­ra­tion of his lat­est col­lec­tion. A lit­tle rough around the edges for Lim stan­dards, the designer infuses spring’s range with quirk and spon­tani­ety. From baggy shorts and wide sil­hou­ettes that taper to a mul­ti­tude of tex­ture, the Phillip Lim man rekin­dles his youth with upbeat spring lay­ers. Employ­ing par­tial gra­di­ents and stripes, loosely cut shirt­ing and jack­ets pave the way for a refresh­ing sea­son with the poten­tial for more fun than usual. Pair the mood with a delight­ful jux­ta­po­si­tion of nos­tal­gia with fashion-​​forward footwear and you have the trap­pings of a won­der­ful Phillip Lim presentation.

jl2 Jean Luc’s Casting Call Diaries | Paris Fashion Week Day 2

my sec­ond day of this exclu­sive ‘behind the scenes’ story at the men’s paris fash­ion week cast­ings for the fash­ion­isto took me from the champs élysées to ‘le marais’, from givenchy to dries van noten, acne and issey miyake …
yes­ter­day had been very intense behing the cam­era (being my 1st day i could just snap any of the mod­els i saw) but today was more intense in the wait­ing, look­ing for new mod­els, expect­ing with excite­ment the arrival of some of the most famous ones; indeed all the mod­els go to the same cast­ings and obvi­ously you get to meet them every day, but the pur­pose of this story is mainly to show the diver­sity of mod­els you find for the paris shows more than shoot­ing the same guys over and over again …
i had to be patient and lucky to pin to my list of daily tro­phies the likes of sebas­t­ian sauve, adrien sahores, clé­ment chaber­naud, matthew hitt, matvey lykov, dou­glas neitzke, vladimir ivanov, max motta, lucas mas­carini, theo hall, jaco van den hoven, daniel bam­dad, chris­t­ian plauche etc, as well as some more new faces such as pierre-​​harald, jack­son, josh tack­ley, julien szne­j­der­man or den­nis jager just to name a few …

If a gen­er­ous use of color and prints account for any­thing, Ann Demeule­meester is in high spir­its for the fall 2011 sea­son. Armed with beau­ti­ful fin­ishes, the Bel­gian designer pep­pered her ten­dency for black with vibrant bolts of red and strik­ing prints.

Decon­struct­ing the din­ner jacket and paint­ing it in bril­liant col­ors such as mid­night blue, Demeule­meester also added a fan­tas­tic trouser with a whis­per of color. An expert at romance, Ann Demeule­meester has man­aged to ele­vate her craft to a new level for one of fall’s most refined collections.

Opt­ing for a more seri­ous mood this sea­son than last, Yohji Yamamoto’s fall col­lec­tion takes a somber turn while also expe­ri­enc­ing a poignant art moment. Deliv­er­ing on expec­ta­tion, but also push­ing the bound­aries to pro­vide room for a more thought­ful touch, a uni­form for men of all ages comes together with atten­tive care to form and func­tion. Cut large and dressed by sub­dued col­ors besides a shock­ing jolt of red, the lineup pro­vides a tidy fusion of east and west as the stag­nant nature of suit­ing is dis­sected into an attrac­tive lifestyle of great ease.
