Y-​​3 Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Trans­lat­ing Trav­els–Lay­ing out car­pets for eclec­tic trav­els, Y-3’s youth geared up for an adven­tur­ous fall/​winter 2012 show­ing. With less atten­tion on the obvi­ous sports appro­pri­ate­ness of the label and more focus on tap­ping into Yohji Yamamoto’s unique design aes­thetic, relaxed sil­hou­ettes opened the door to roman­tic lay­ers. Blended with an urban twist, baggy fits cul­mi­nated in acces­si­ble gar­ments dec­o­rated with engag­ing prints. Built on a range of bil­low­ing trousers, casual shirts played the laid-​​back com­pan­ion piece to jack­ets and coats, con­structed as that per­fect fin­ish­ing piece. From struc­tured blaz­ers accented with printed strips to a jacket, cut from but­tery soft leather or an over­size boxy coat, Y-​​3 approached the sea­son with a cool apti­tude, deliv­er­ing a con­tem­po­rary flair, laced with a styl­ish finesse.

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.
