Patrik Ervell Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Min­i­mal Unrest–Dis­rupt­ing the lines of Patrik Ervell’s trade­mark suit­ing, dis­rup­tion set in with the label’s hero strik­ing a chord for rebel­lion. Weav­ing in gar­ments that sur­pris­ingly gave the col­lec­tion an urban edge, Ervell’s man marched on as quilted out­er­wear took up the part of pro­tec­tive gear and tech­ni­cal fab­rics caved into the mod­ern age. Echo­ing mil­i­tant sen­ti­ments with pieces sway­ing from struc­tured and fit­ted to loose, a range that included sharp shirt­ing, a grounded series of trousers and an evolv­ing array of jack­ets stole the show, set­ting the tone for a seri­ous fall with an eye for strong style.

Robert Geller Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Eng­lish Punk–Find­ing the inspi­ra­tion of his lat­est col­lec­tion while lis­ten­ing to early eight­ies post-​​punk band The Sound, Robert Geller decided to usurp the clas­sic Eng­lish mode of style for a vehi­cle to fur­ther push his sig­na­ture design stan­dards. A war of the loose and fit­ted, the mild man­ners of the gen­tle­man and the rash ten­den­cies of youth meshed together for a delight­ful show­ing. Tack­ling var­i­ous inter­pre­ta­tions of knick­ers, casual sweats and volu­mi­nous trousers were brought forth for a lively show­ing. Armed with prints and the occa­sional splash of bold color, Geller’s col­lec­tion high­lighted a dynamic range of gar­ments as usual. Whether craft­ing a cozy grandpa’s cardi­gan or a belted coat, the lineup served up cov­eted pieces with smart details. Amongst tonal color block­ing, short-​​sleeved cable-​​knits and dip-​​dyed fab­rics, Robert Geller’s fall show­ing ush­ered in a sea­son of sophis­ti­cated but ener­getic pieces.

Missoni Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

The Mis­soni Way–With her fam­ily look­ing on, Angela Mis­soni sent her men down the cat­walk with an easy air. Lay­ered lightly for the sea­son, sub­dued autumn col­ors con­tributed to relaxed out­ing, fea­tur­ing a semi-​​fitted wardrobe of knitwear, shirt­ing, and out­er­wear, exe­cuted with a sub­tle hand. The results of her­itage at work, Missoni’s sig­na­ture prints dressed an array of gar­ments that encom­passed a walk of leisure, com­plete with a laissez-​​faire atti­tude and bucket hats that gave a dis­tinct feel to the season.
