Simon Spurr Spring 2012 | New York Fashion Week
The Man of Tomorrow–Simon Spurr took his knack for suiting and sought out a modern spin for next spring’s wardrobe. Moving between bold graphic tees and tailored wears, charged by the times, Spurr sent his man in a new direction. Merging the elements of a sartorial gent with those of a free-spirited youth, an energetic lineup come together with a refreshing quality. Trimmed and paneled with leather, from shoulders to sleek detailing, jackets were inspiring, while mesh tops as well as varying proportions told a tale of exploration for the Spurr man. Demonstrating a well-studied hand, two aesthetics, timeless and contemporary were melded together for an enticing spring outing.

DKNY Men Spring 2012 | New York Fashion Week
4 Times Square–Making history, DKNY staged their spring 2012 presentation at the NASDAQ Marketsite building. The first menswear collection shown at the facility, DKNY’s men came to impress. Taking on the charisma and sharp styling of significant business icons from the big screen, the label’s man fell into a stride with grays and blues, dressing sharp suiting and everything in between. While slim-fit structured pieces summed up a sophisticated portion of the new collection, a relaxed nature set in with basics, delivered as trench coats, knits, light-weight jackets and other easy staples. Extended into pureDKNY’s lineup, light smooth colors came into play with an equally laxed state of style. Momentous and making for quite the statement, DKNY brought together their best attributes for a season to remember. / Photos by Carl Barnett of The Fashionisto.
