Alexandre Plokhov Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Dark Truce–Stag­ing his debut run­way show for his name­sake label, Alexan­dre Plokhov kicked off the evening with dark glam­our tak­ing the reigns. Cre­at­ing svelte fig­ures, clad in black, slen­der trousers came together with long skirts, paired with elon­gated tops. From a sleeve­less apron-​​cut blazer and asym­met­ri­cally fas­tened jacket to ultra-​​glam acces­sories that included both gloves and shawls, Plokhov treated the New York audi­ence with a rebel­lious gam­ble before show­ing a hand at more struc­tured wears. Loosely tai­lored, the pin-​​striped suit made an appear­ance, fea­tur­ing an off­beat sil­hou­ette … a fit­ted cropped jacket, plung­ing neck­line, com­plete with trousers fea­tur­ing a loosely draped crotch. Blend­ing suit­ing with tunics and knitwear, Plokhov made the return to more bold gar­ments by the collection’s end, exper­i­ment­ing with sil­hou­ettes and shape for a struc­tured uni­form, jux­ta­posed with slick leather for a strong final impression.
