Acne Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

23 January 2012, written by Carl



The Young Road to Luxury–Bringing Paris Fashion Week to a close, Swedish label Acne embarked on a collision course of young and old for a collection that peppered the classics with a free spirit. With layering playing a key component to the season’s wardrobe, interesting fabrications were utilized. From quilted shirting employed underneath a boxy short-sleeved sweatshirt to pleather worn with a formal overcoat, a rebellious quality was achieved with great subtleties. Piling on the sweaters and producing tops with varying sleeve lengths for the ultimate combination of pieces, Acne brought together tapered trousers, oversize blazers as well as suiting shorts for a highly wearable feat.

Thom Browne Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

22 January 2012, written by Carl



Little House of Horrors–Gather a high voltage chair, a splash of the macabre and the American sportsman and you have Thom Browne’s latest creation. Stuffed into Browne’s little gray suit, a steroid-induced man appeared with bulging shoulders against a petite alter ego, infused with punk. While sweaters, cut from mohair made for a giant-sized impression, studs and safety pins decorated seams and hems. Injecting the varsity jacket with volume, classic standbys were treated to a whimsical retreat into the dark corners of Browne’s creative genius. Juxtaposed with mid-riff baring tops and garments in watermelon green and pink, the idea of classic menswear was torn to shreds and presented as Thom Browne’s latest fantasy, in some aspects wearable but at large a stirring gesture to sit back and take in.

21 January 2012, written by Carl



L’Essentiel–Retaining a reserved elegance for the fall/winter 2012 season, Hermès creative director Veronique Nichanian kept to a dark color palette in which the fabrications did the talking. With impeccable construction, in a sea of somber suiting and outerwear, pieces like a soft trench from leather created a wow factor when not embraced by sleek trousers as well as carryalls. Introducing hints of velvet and a smoky graphic towards the show’s end, Hermès latest collection played to the house’s conservative nature while also illustrating a natural luxe factor.

John Galliano Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

20 January 2012, written by Carl



Gangster Lore–Looking to the days of prohibition for the inspiration of his second outing for John Galliano, creative director Bill Gaytten honed in on characters, ranging from gangsters and the law establishment to American sports-stars. Empowered by the stigma of a gangster, the collection was off to a strong start with oversize silhouettes ushering in the double-breasted suit and fine coats of fur. Turning to references by J.C Leyendecker and Norman Rockwell, the baggy trousers of America’s infamous kingpins were closely followed by Gaytten’s notorious band of henchmen. Youthful, cold and belted in for a showdown with the law, the menacing were met with hues of army green, dressing the aviator jacket, a military jacket, complete with epaulettes and other heroic pieces. Caught in the middle of the two factions and bringing the show to a close were John Galliano’s sports heroes, revealing a polished evening wardrobe, sequined and generally more fitted.
