London Fashion Week | Carolyn Massey Fall 2010
Nestled amongst a sea of black and gray for the fall season, Carolyn Massey not only manages to soften the appearance of leather, but also slips in a delightful accent of pale pink. Letting out the wardrobe of her thoughtful man, Massey lengthens semi-relaxed knits, while also crafting billowing sleeves that add a certain lightness. Proving that fall fashion does not have to be bulky to function, Carolyn Massey’s man is strong on structure and color, but finishes soft in way of cut and drape.
London Fashion Week | Christopher Shannon Fall 10
Designer Christopher Shannon looks to vintage ski knits for inspiration this season. Predominantly navy with the occasional appearance of gray, a safe color palette dresses Shannon’s latest sportswear array. Layering distinct proportions, Shannon plays with elongated lengths and cropped cuts as he sets out a uniform for the streetwear prone personality. Juxtaposing a clean finish with his signature bold prints, Shannon rounds out the collection with a subtle serving of color blocking as well as adventurous mesh fabrics.

Armed with an arsenal of low-key shirting options, suiting and outerwear, the Margaret Howell man is understated, but nevertheless chic.
New York Fashion Week | Davidelfin Fall 2010
Madrid-based designer David Delfin made a splash at this past New York Fashion Week with his colorful namesake label. Accenting a somber gray palette with a lively yellow, the designer had his men walking to a quirky beat of their own making. Taking on the traditional suit, Elfin looked to a form-conscious silhouette as well as interesting short combos to break up the melancholy of safe standbys. With boxy necklines and deconstructed suiting elements, Elfin delivered fine form mixed with a little humor.
