Robbie Wadge for ASOS Spring/Summer 2012 Collection
Turning the Tide–Robbie Wadge of Models 1 steps out for ASOS latest outing. Referencing 70’s west coast America and elements of Navajo culture, an eclectic spring/summer 2012 range provides for a great number of items to dress the season. On one end of the spectrum, vintage-inspired garments are crafted with washed shirt jackets and colored pants, before moving into printed shorts. Playfully channeling the surfer with bright colors and relaxed cuts that leave space for separates such as the tank or windbreaker, ASOS still manages to round out the collection with a smart showing of tailored suiting for the modern gent.
Tommy Hilfiger Fall/Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week
Marching Forward–The men of Tommy Hilfiger marched to a different beat for the fall/winter 2012 season. Trading in the American prep that Hilfiger has become so synonymous with, the lavish collection read as a rich set off the runways of Europe. Bringing together burgundy and black, leather and shearling, Tommy Hilfiger was simply ravishing. Armed with an aristocratic flair, delicious textiles delivered a sharp arsenal of arresting pieces. Accessorized with leather riding gloves, the show kicked off with tailored jackets and coats, functional and ready to be transformed at a moment’s notice, courtesy of tear away details. Championing the leather inset and bringing the elbow patch to the front for a divinely modern look, the devil was in the details. From pleated trousers and sleeve detailing to a fetching palette of muted tones, Tommy Hilfiger created an army for the modern age, bringing the ultimate luxury to the American stage.

Miharayasuhiro Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Coming Undone–Militaristic references and a sense of rugged elegance come together for Miharayasuhiro’s latest Parisian showing. Working around the idea of strong separates, structured items like the cropped peacoat are contrasted against oversize cargo pants. Accenting a somber sea of dark hues with a large plaid print, varying proportions are melded together. Layered, fine construction gives way to jackets with halved sleeves, camouflage suiting and a tailored sense of sportswear.
Kenzo Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
The Kenzo Workday–Playing it safe for their debut collection, new Kenzo creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, revealed a season right off the conveyor belt. Decorated in bright, youthful prints, the tailored trappings of the Kenzo man came out to play. From fitted quilted jackets and laid-back sweatshirts to the odd knickknacks, sportswear fueled the collection. Honing in on a relaxed aesthetic that achieved a balance of casual sophistication and novelty, Lim and Leon represented the quirky sentiments of the classic man.
Dries Van Noten Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Psychedelic Elegance–A keynote of any Dries Van Noten collection, prints really spoke great volumes this season. Taking Oscar Wilde’s dandy and lending him an attitude befitting of music artist Frank Zappa, the season was Van Noten’s canvas. Keeping fall’s inspirations on a tight leash, the backbone of the collection was entrusted to sharp overcoats and pleated trousers, narrow and wide. With fine form at the collection’s heart, next came exciting prints in vivid colors. Dressing sweaters and pants for a psychedelic reemergence, Van Noten no doubt made a loud statement, but also delivered charm subtly with finer print motifs and luxurious fabrications such as velvet driving his effortless elegance home.
