Prada Amor–WhyNot/Success models Mark Cox and Sebastian Sauvé come together to cover the third issue of Portuguese magazine Dsection. Reuniting with photographers Aline & Jacqueline Tappia, the striking pair are outfitted in pieces from the spring/summer 2012 collection of Prada, styled by Paulo Turina.

In Wait–Sara Cimino captures a calm behind the scenes look at Corneliani and Z Zegna’s fall/winter 2012 shows with models in hair and makeup with a great book not too far away.

Fine & Dandy–Gucci creative director Frida Giannini looks to the nineteenth century for the inspiration of her latest collection. Mixing various references, Giannini arrived at what she refers to as Bohemian Grunge. If course with no expense spared, the Gucci man was sent on this path with the ideal trappings for a luxe fall season. The vision of smart simplicity, crewneck sweaters and modest jackets made for the perfect contemporary suiting statement while ornate floral prints created a tapestry of enrichment. Dressing pants and jackets for quite the sartorial debut, Gucci’s prints were just one of the season’s treasured motifs. Working with velvet, silk and brocade, the show was rounded out by a nod at aristocracy, crafting pleated trousers and fitted jackets for the ultimate season of luxury.

Sartorial Layering–Daniele Alessandrini looks to smart layering for the fall/winter 2012 season. Taking the twinset and reinterpreting it for outerwear, clever jackets remain light-weight but warm with a blanket lining. Subtly mixing prints, an autumn landscape contributes to the image of a man on the go with suiting and casualwear blending together for one cohesive wardrobe. From the strong field jacket to classics like the duffle coat, Daniele Alessandrini remains relevant for the modern man with an offering of tradition and trend.

The Collector–Positioning his man as a collector of beautiful things, Salvatore Ferragamo creative director Massimiliano Giornetti crafts a rich collection using a tapestry inspired by the urban landscape. Whether it is in the vibrant evening lights of blue and red or in the charcoal asphalt, Giornetti masters a strong color palette, creating a sharp wardrobe of suiting, outerwear and accessories. From intricate prints that entice to the smart double breasted blazer or the allure of velvet, Salvatore Ferragamo’s fall/winter 2012 collection finds impeccable lines and classicism at its best.

Total Look–Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier aimed to complete a total look for this season’s collection. Examining proportions and fit from head to toe, the latest range came together as final products, a couple of steps removed from the initial inspiration source. Playing exquisitely with graphic shapes in this aspect, complementary colors melded together as abstract shapes dissected Maier’s alto familiar canvas. However, taking a step into the future, a little rebellion surfaced with treated finishes and a hint of leather, being pieced together for outerwear adornments and eventually the season’s standout trousers.
