dh Dior Homme Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Com­bat­ive Fash­ion–Fol­low­ing an impres­sive show­ing for his name­sake, Kris Van Ass­che returned to the run­way for his lat­est col­lec­tion for Dior Homme. Another inspir­ing lineup for the sea­son, Van Ass­che let the focus on tai­lor­ing take a back­seat with a fully fleshed out motif that empha­sized sports­wear with a mil­i­taris­tic flair. Hid­den under caps and shades, the men of Dior took to the run­way with a strong stance on suit­ing, giv­ing way to more relaxed pieces. Don­ning low slung trousers and over­size out­er­wear, cut to max­i­mize pow­er­ful move­ment, gar­ments in an army green gave the sea­son a life dra­mat­i­cally dif­fer­ent from pre­vi­ous col­lec­tions. Play­ing with shear­ling, pip­ing and tech­ni­cal fab­rics, crisp com­bat­ive sil­hou­ettes were at once fresh, mark­ing a suc­cess­ful over­all out­ing for Dior Homme.

rowens Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

The Dark Arts–Rick Owens’ man finds him­self some­where in between fenc­ing and rac­ing for the designer’s lat­est chap­ter. Kick­ing off the sea­son with fit­ted ensem­bles, high-​​waist trousers made the per­fect com­pan­ion to nar­row tops, cut to per­fec­tion. Mov­ing on to suit­ing as a more tra­di­tional turn for Owens, jack­ets were fas­tened with one but­ton for an asym­met­ri­cal close, while the fit on trousers indi­cated a sub­tle shift in the col­lec­tion. Embrac­ing a wider sil­hou­ette for trousers and ready­ing the run­way for his beloved work with leather, a cropped jacket appeared with a fan­tas­tic sil­hou­ette, that gained momen­tum against later volu­mi­nous looks that employed quilt­ing and other tech­niques for a strong dark finish.

costumenational Costume National Homme Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

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.
