English Rooting–Looking for the foundation of his fall/winter 2012 collection, Simon Spurr turned to images of London by Robert Frank. Taking into account early twentieth century style and heading down a modern course, references that include Tommy Nutter’s reinterpreted suit of the 1960’s come into play as Spurr dissects suiting for a relevant edge. Bringing together rich burgundy, brown, navy and other solid colors for a collection dressed in plaids and tweeds, subtle updates were introduced. From leather trousers and a magnified hounds tooth print to a signature penchant for fabric insets, Simon Spurr’s latest efforts resulted in a sound showing, highlighting a sartorial flair juxtaposed with modern sentiments.

Ol’ Santa Fe–Adapting his prepster uniform with the typical cheek one has come to expect of Band of Outsiders, designer Scott Sternberg visited the southwest for the inspiration of his latest showing. Set under the watercolor painted sky, Sternberg’s platoon came out to play with all their smarts on display. From evening wear to daily essentials, a collection dressed in rich hues and accented with Navajo-inspired prints delighted. Sleepy loungewear provided the quiet counterpart to more polished numbers, rounded out by blazers, crewneck sweaters and fitted shirting. Meanwhile, corduroy reared its head with pants and jackets adding to a classic Americana image. Incorporating quilting and shearling, carefully constructed outerwear added a tough exterior to more gentle touches such as tassel adorned knitwear. Altogether mixing garments of a subdued mood with louder statement pieces, Band of Outsiders delivered their finely tailored aesthetic with a splash of southwestern nostalgia to color the season.

Luxury Sport–Bringing together the dapper finesse of the dandy with the utilitarian attitude of athletic wear, the colliding inspirations spawn a sportswear collection of charm and humor at Antonio Azzulou. Classic staples in the likes of slim-cut blazers and crew neck sweaters are given a modern twist with snow white lamb fur trimmings and cheeky graphic prints, while the glamorous and luxe quality is juxtaposed with the rugged offerings of windbreakers and trench coats. Enchanting hues of turquoise, orange, red and royal blue fill the Séeberger Brothers inspired collection with a contemporary touch and elegance.
