Classic Man of Tomorrow–Nicole Farhi enjoys a relaxed outing for the spring 2012 season. Embracing a light color palette of neutrals and pure whites, easy seperates are melded with a futuristic motif for a collection that is as relevant as it is engaging. Creating interest with zip away fabrics, color paneling and a subtle shift in proportions, Farhi’s man stays ahead of the pack with a modern take on the classics. From harnessed shirting to the nylon polo and neoprene tops, Nicole Farhi reveals a utopia of focused creativity.

1961 To 2012–It was a lesson on geometry at Ports 1961, where shape and structure took top form. The silhouette was slimming and fitted with elongated double-breasted blazers and sleeveless trench coats of modern and minimal sensibility, while trousers came in various cuts–tailored as well as loose. Transparent lightweight knits, crisp cotton blends and lustrous silks were featured in clinical white, beige, midnight blue and graphic prints for an outing of luxurious fabrications.

Rock ‘n’ Roll National–Costume National Homme creative director Ennio Capasa took a sharp yet youthful route for the spring season. Pairing relaxed tailoring with a season’s worth of covetable creepers, Capasa took classic standards such as the tuxedo and motorcycle jacket and turned them into modern, rebellious pieces. Armed with a certain attitude, but a sophisticated finesse, the man of Costume National Homme confronts the new spring season with a penchant for mixing casual and luxe for a fantastic showing, based in black and gray with a hot streak of red.

i had to be patient and lucky to pin to my list of daily trophies the likes of sebastian sauve, adrien sahores, clément chabernaud, matthew hitt, matvey lykov, douglas neitzke, vladimir ivanov, max motta, lucas mascarini, theo hall, jaco van den hoven, daniel bamdad, christian plauche etc, as well as some more new faces such as pierre-harald, jackson, josh tackley, julien sznejderman or dennis jager just to name a few …
