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.

Spring Forward, Fall Back-wards–With a special attention to movement and pace, Select model Arthur Olecki joins Elite London’s Dan Felton for the winter/spring 2012 print issue of Fashionisto. Photographed by creative team Saty + Pratha and styled by Russell Philip Peek, the careful pair are outfitted in garments that range from colorful to voluminous.
Thom Browne Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Little House of Horrors–Gather a high voltage chair, a splash of the macabre and the American sportsman and you have Thom Browne’s latest creation. Stuffed into Browne’s little gray suit, a steroid-induced man appeared with bulging shoulders against a petite alter ego, infused with punk. While sweaters, cut from mohair made for a giant-sized impression, studs and safety pins decorated seams and hems. Injecting the varsity jacket with volume, classic standbys were treated to a whimsical retreat into the dark corners of Browne’s creative genius. Juxtaposed with mid-riff baring tops and garments in watermelon green and pink, the idea of classic menswear was torn to shreds and presented as Thom Browne’s latest fantasy, in some aspects wearable but at large a stirring gesture to sit back and take in.
Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Androgyny Now–Hidden under a mop of jet black disheveled hair, the boys of Comme des Garçons told a tale of unadulterated rebellion. Fashions for the elegant punk, a long coat, pulled in at the waist delivered charm in quaint varieties, ranging from polka dots and somber black to discreet etchings. Complemented with pleated skirts and cape jackets, large floral prints made a divine statement, knowing no bounds and lending Rei Kawakubo’s misfit a soft touch, fused with moderate angst. Finished with large bows tied at the neck and petite heels, ready for the catwalk, Comme des Garçons delivered a welcomed collection of means and mode.
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.
