John Varvatos Spring 2011 | Milan Fashion Week

Refin­ing his craft, designer John Var­vatos played it cool for the spring sea­son. Send­ing out dark ensem­bles, incred­i­bly focused on knits and out­er­wear, Var­vatos turned his atten­tion to the sub­tle details. While trousers, full-​​length and cropped remained sta­tion­ary, duel lay­ers added an inter­est­ing fea­ture to coats, while scarf ties and belts buck­led to the side spoke vol­umes to the sen­si­tive yet edgier side of the Var­vatos man. Round­ing out the col­lec­tion with a smart use of light suede and leather, Var­vatos stayed true to his rock ‘n’ roll inspirations.

Costume National Spring 2011 | Milan Fashion Week

Cos­tume National cre­ative direc­tor Ennio Capasa took his man on a sub­dued safari. Explor­ing a new approach to tai­lor­ing, Capasa looked to laser cut fab­rics and a lack of seams for a mod­ern touch. Tran­si­tion­ing from soft neu­trals to a sturdy array of dark col­ors, spring’s col­lec­tion took a tour of the essen­tials, begin­ning with a sheer delight to kick the sea­son off. Con­tin­u­ing with the con­struc­tion of a semi-​​relaxed suit met by silks, linens and wools, Capasa crafted a light out­ing that alto­gether sets well with the fun­da­men­tals of spring.
