Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week

As Sarah Bur­ton searches for her own vision at Alexan­der McQueen, the label’s man takes a stum­ble, some­where in between the quin­tes­sen­tial British style the fash­ion sect had grown accus­tomed to and a dra­matic war char­ac­ter born from film. Craft­ing the clas­sic suit of slen­der pro­por­tions at one spec­trum and over­size sil­hou­ettes at the oppo­site end, Bur­ton show­cased a myr­iad of ideas that shed light on whats to come for McQueen’s man – the unex­pected blended with ref­er­ences to the label’s rich history.

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week

Approach­ing the fall 2011 sea­son with end­less color and exag­ger­ated pro­por­tions, Burberry Chief Cre­ative Offi­cer Christo­pher Bai­ley looked to a coat for all sea­sons. Cre­at­ing his very own weather boy, Bailey’s out­er­wear stole the show as usual. Embrac­ing the unex­pected, the 60’s pro­vided the inspi­ra­tion for slick rain­coats, quilted fin­ishes and a rain­bow of checks. Gath­er­ing pleats and rework­ing tweed, Bai­ley once again deliv­ered an eas­ily cool show­ing for a time­less label.

Agi&Sam Spring 2011 | Thomas Penfound by Luke Stephenson

A new label bursts through for the spring sea­son with a gen­uine sense of humor and an inquis­i­tive eye for menswear. Blend­ing great con­struc­tion with play­ful pro­por­tions, Agi&Sam show­case their lat­est col­lec­tion with a fan­tas­tic look­book fea­tur­ing d1 model Thomas Pen­found pho­tographed by Luke Stephen­son. Guided by a bold new vision, design­ers Agape Mdu­mulla and Sam Cot­ton take their joined expe­ri­ence work­ing at Alexan­der McQueen and look to pop cul­ture for inspi­ra­tion. Inspired by the pop­u­lar­ized skew of Native Amer­i­can life pre­sented in movies such as Ser­gio Leon’s 1968 film, Once Upon a Time in the West, the duo were moved to cre­ate a col­lec­tion that dis­sem­bles these ref­er­ences for a mod­ern range with spunk. Enti­tled The Native Amer­i­can Coloni­sa­tion of Euro­pean States, the col­lec­tion inge­niously takes on a sim­ple sil­hou­ette that evolves into an engag­ing range of acces­si­ble sep­a­rates with an intrigu­ing dis­play of color and kalei­do­scopic prints.
