Scholarly Days–Dsquared² designers Dan and Dean Caten send their boys back to school for the fall/winter 2012 season. Bringing smarts to their signature staples, loosely slung denim was paired with light layers consisting of leather jackets, sweatshirts, button-downs and sweater vests. Accessorized with newsboy hats, duffels and backpacks, the season’s theme was a no-brainer. From goody two shoes prep to the sartorial bad boy, Dsquared² packed an easy punch with a relaxed wardrobe that eventually transitioned into more polished garments. Still applying their own handiwork to eveningwear, denim and sequins collided for a cheeky finish.

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.

Sleek Epiphany–Deconstructing menswear staples and restructuring garments for a layered autumn feat, Costume National Homme delivers a dark collection for the fall/winter 2012 season. Playing with proportions and textures, the collection’s identity is drawn from a rebellious attitude that is sure to get notice. Turning out a sporty take on the blazer, a cropped fitted number with minimal detail makes for the quintessential aspect of modernity, followed by unlikely pieces paired together that make for phenomenal looks. From a sharp overcoat, layered over a zippered turtle neck to paneled attachments, blending the woven with more polished fabrications, Costume National Homme remains true to their heritage, revealing a collection with the utmost ease yet a desirable cool.
