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.

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.

Moschino Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

16 January 2012, written by Carl



Playing Fashion–Moschino’s knack for bold prints and colors collides with a traditional sense of menswear for a penetrating collection. Opening the show with bowler hats as well as suiting and tees printed with cobblestones, the season resonated with a nostalgic London flair. Making the gentleman relevant, the trappings of the distinguished blended with a cheeky use of wardrobe dissection for a new chapter.
