Kenzo Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week

Kenzo cre­ative direc­tor Anto­nio Mar­ras looks to detec­tive sto­ries for the inspi­ra­tion of fall’s smart col­lec­tion. Fus­ing both for­mal and casual styles, the Kenzo man is put together with a lit­tle fun and mys­tery. From the high­brow detec­tive and mis­chie­vous vil­lain to the com­mon civil­ian, Mar­ras’ col­lec­tion comes together with a quaint British sen­si­bil­ity. Bring­ing the scholar out to play, printed knits join the collection’s con­sis­tent core of jack­ets that pro­vide struc­ture as well as a relaxed out­ing. Turn­ing to fine leather, boots add a rebel­lious edge, while kilts add an old touch made new. Alto­gether a mesh­ing of var­i­ous char­ac­ters with inten­sive per­son­al­i­ties, the new Kenzo col­lec­tion offers a wardrobe for many a man come the fall 2011 season.

Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week

Peek­ing through the seams of Sal­va­tore Ferragamo’s lat­est out­ing was a nod to the easy cool of the 70’s and a desire to show that menswear can be both mas­cu­line and remark­ably soft with warm sen­ti­ments. Embrac­ing a relaxed pac­ing of sep­a­rates and out­er­wear, fall’s col­lec­tion boasted dark rich hues of autumn, con­trasted against sen­sa­tional flesh tones. Res­onat­ing a refined lux­ury, car­ried off with lit­tle to no effort, the range quickly turned to a lifestyle, gen­tly touch­ing upon west­ern and mil­i­taris­tic influ­ences. From strong tai­lored over­coats and suede trousers to but­tery soft leather, Sal­va­tore Fer­rag­amo excelled in pay­ing com­pli­ments to the heart of their man – robust, per­sonal and adaptive.
