Ol’ Santa Fe–Adapt­ing his prep­ster uni­form with the typ­i­cal cheek one has come to expect of Band of Out­siders, designer Scott Stern­berg vis­ited the south­west for the inspi­ra­tion of his lat­est show­ing. Set under the water­color painted sky, Sternberg’s pla­toon came out to play with all their smarts on dis­play. From evening wear to daily essen­tials, a col­lec­tion dressed in rich hues and accented with Navajo-​​inspired prints delighted. Sleepy loungewear pro­vided the quiet coun­ter­part to more pol­ished num­bers, rounded out by blaz­ers, crew­neck sweaters and fit­ted shirt­ing. Mean­while, cor­duroy reared its head with pants and jack­ets adding to a clas­sic Amer­i­cana image. Incor­po­rat­ing quilt­ing and shear­ling, care­fully con­structed out­er­wear added a tough exte­rior to more gen­tle touches such as tas­sel adorned knitwear. Alto­gether mix­ing gar­ments of a sub­dued mood with louder state­ment pieces, Band of Out­siders deliv­ered their finely tai­lored aes­thetic with a splash of south­west­ern nos­tal­gia to color the season.

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.

Excess to LightFrankie Morello takes their man on a jour­ney for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son. Show­ing the lat­est col­lec­tion in three dif­fer­ent stages, a moment of excess rep­re­sents hec­tic city life, com­plete with mate­ri­al­ism. Richly adorned, tapered suit­ing sets the ground work for an explo­ration of self, trans­lated into sub­tle gra­di­ents fol­lowed by exotic prints. Paired with charm­ing boots, a more casual wardrobe emerges as shorts, shirt­ing and light­weight jack­ets make a bold move against the sea­son cool. Evolv­ing into the utmost stage of sim­plic­ity, col­ors and prints even­tu­ally give way to a more quiet dimen­sion, illus­trat­ing the season’s final canvas.

Explor­ing New Options–Cast­ing a var­ied lot of char­ac­ters and explor­ing dif­fer­ent sil­hou­ettes and color schemes for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son, designer Roberto Cav­alli turns his atten­tion to the future. Ton­ing down the color within rea­son, out­er­wear takes on the dom­i­nant role in a seam­less lineup of lay­ered ensem­bles. A man of sev­eral iden­ti­ties, Cavalli’s man dons a bright-​​colored cape when not don­ning a dap­per bow tie for an evening on the town. Tow­ing the line between time­less ele­gance and mod­ern expec­ta­tions, the col­lec­tion reviews a well-​​versed ven­ture. From tai­lored and fit­ted to over­size and play­ful, Roberto Cavalli’s lat­est col­lec­tion show­cases the fan­tas­ti­cal whims of a clever wardrobe with infi­nite room to grow.
