Agi & Sam Fall/Winter 2012 | London Fashion Week
Quacks & Suits–Agi & Sam layered on their signature humor for their recent London Fashion Week showing. Revolving their fall/winter 2012 collection around Darwin’s Theory of Why the Chicken Crossed the Road, the men of Agi & Sam hit the catwalk battered and bruised but in the utmost style. With ducks and chickens as their fun design motif, serious menswear fundamentals were infused with a lightness of the heart. Combining intricate prints with interesting proportions, today’s fitted suit was dissected for a play on volume as well as separates. Juxtaposed with a British sensibility on steroids, delicious colors and prints aided a showing strong on substance and cheer. / Photos by Saty + Pratha.

Dries Van Noten Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Psychedelic Elegance–A keynote of any Dries Van Noten collection, prints really spoke great volumes this season. Taking Oscar Wilde’s dandy and lending him an attitude befitting of music artist Frank Zappa, the season was Van Noten’s canvas. Keeping fall’s inspirations on a tight leash, the backbone of the collection was entrusted to sharp overcoats and pleated trousers, narrow and wide. With fine form at the collection’s heart, next came exciting prints in vivid colors. Dressing sweaters and pants for a psychedelic reemergence, Van Noten no doubt made a loud statement, but also delivered charm subtly with finer print motifs and luxurious fabrications such as velvet driving his effortless elegance home.

The vision of smart simplicity, crewneck sweaters and modest jackets made for the perfect contemporary suiting statement while ornate floral prints created a tapestry of enrichment. Dressing pants and jackets for quite the sartorial debut, Gucci’s prints were just one of the season’s treasured motifs. Working with velvet, silk and brocade, the show was rounded out by a nod at aristocracy, crafting pleated trousers and fitted jackets for the ultimate season of luxury.

Starting the show with padded jumpsuits and moving towards shrunken tailored garments, cheerful suiting separates championed Browne’s race car driver.
