Alexandre Plokhov Fall/Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week
Dark Truce–Staging his debut runway show for his namesake label, Alexandre Plokhov kicked off the evening with dark glamour taking the reigns. Creating svelte figures, clad in black, slender trousers came together with long skirts, paired with elongated tops. From a sleeveless apron-cut blazer and asymmetrically fastened jacket to ultra-glam accessories that included both gloves and shawls, Plokhov treated the New York audience with a rebellious gamble before showing a hand at more structured wears. Loosely tailored, the pin-striped suit made an appearance, featuring an offbeat silhouette … a fitted cropped jacket, plunging neckline, complete with trousers featuring a loosely draped crotch. Blending suiting with tunics and knitwear, Plokhov made the return to more bold garments by the collection’s end, experimenting with silhouettes and shape for a structured uniform, juxtaposed with slick leather for a strong final impression.
Tommy Hilfiger Fall/Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week
Marching Forward–The men of Tommy Hilfiger marched to a different beat for the fall/winter 2012 season. Trading in the American prep that Hilfiger has become so synonymous with, the lavish collection read as a rich set off the runways of Europe. Bringing together burgundy and black, leather and shearling, Tommy Hilfiger was simply ravishing. Armed with an aristocratic flair, delicious textiles delivered a sharp arsenal of arresting pieces. Accessorized with leather riding gloves, the show kicked off with tailored jackets and coats, functional and ready to be transformed at a moment’s notice, courtesy of tear away details. Championing the leather inset and bringing the elbow patch to the front for a divinely modern look, the devil was in the details. From pleated trousers and sleeve detailing to a fetching palette of muted tones, Tommy Hilfiger created an army for the modern age, bringing the ultimate luxury to the American stage.
