Play­ing Shapes–Ports 1961 design­ers Fiona Cibani and Ian Hyl­ton pull together a metic­u­lous col­lec­tion focus­ing on sharp lines, con­struc­tion and vary­ing pro­por­tions. Cast in a somber gray palette, the label’s lead­ing man lives up to the clas­sic image of Sav­ille Row. Don­ning double-​​breasted suits and clad in out­er­wear, cut with a min­i­mal­ist hand, Ports 1961’s gen­tle­man embraces a smooth sea­son that plays tai­lored tra­di­tion against play­ful explo­ration. From nar­row, well-​​framed jack­ets to a final roundup of volu­mi­nous coats, Ports 1961 intro­duces a sea­son of func­tion and spon­tane­ity for a mod­est success.

canali Canali Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Clas­sic Flair–Ital­ian label Canali goes the way of Lon­don for a swing­ing col­lec­tion of sar­to­r­ial pro­por­tions. Kick­ing off the show with a banker chic approach to fash­ion, pin­striped suit­ing and over­coats set the tone for a well-​​informed throw­back. Tran­si­tion­ing to a casual change of pace, suede and cor­duroy made an easy impact with pais­ley prints join­ing the foray in the form of jack­ets and trousers.

missoni Missoni Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

The Mis­soni Way–With her fam­ily look­ing on, Angela Mis­soni sent her men down the cat­walk with an easy air. Lay­ered lightly for the sea­son, sub­dued autumn col­ors con­tributed to relaxed out­ing, fea­tur­ing a semi-​​fitted wardrobe of knitwear, shirt­ing, and out­er­wear, exe­cuted with a sub­tle hand. The results of her­itage at work, Missoni’s sig­na­ture prints dressed an array of gar­ments that encom­passed a walk of leisure, com­plete with a laissez-​​faire atti­tude and bucket hats that gave a dis­tinct feel to the season.

leshommes Les Hommes Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

The Don of the Sea­son–Lay­ered in lush knits and grand out­er­wear, the man of Les Hommes makes his way back to the cat­walk. Fol­low­ing a cul­tured get­away, color, print and vol­ume paint an image of refine­ment with a dar­ing under­tone. While leather gar­ments con­tribute to a mod­ern hard streak, soft­ness is deliv­ered in the form of sweaters in vibrant hues. Relat­ing the ten­sion of fit and vol­ume, large over­size sleeves taper for a dis­tinct vis­age. Mean­while, trousers are tapered and relaxed for the appro­pri­ate note to an eclec­tic col­lec­tion that seam­lessly jux­ta­poses fine suit­ing with charm­ing knitwear.
