Regal Formation–Dolce & Gabbana follows a path lined with luxe fabrications and rich accents for the fall/winter 2012 season. A mix of country romance and early turn of the century dapper sentiments, the Italian house finds a place for their D&G youth amongst a mature collection of standout pieces. Dressing up suit jackets, lapels cut out of velvet mark the season, while the gradual incorporation of gold embroidery reinforces fall’s grand theme. Overlooking no facet in the life of their debonair man, the lineup transitions from sharp outerwear and companion pieces of warm wool to a more relaxed gesture that sees Dolce & Gabbana turn to their infamous silk. Whether worn as an exquisite set of pajamas or a bold move outdoors, the regal execution is the perfect touch to a collection that spares no expense.

The Great Tailor–Kicking off Milan Fashion Week, Corneliani takes to the runway with a sea of somber gray, navy and a hint of winter white. Fusing voluminous billowing silhouettes with a knack for tailoring, classics come across with a laid-back sartorial essence. From outerwear with oversize lapels to a cape, trimmed with fur or a cardigan tied at the waist, the Corneliani man possesses an undeniable elegance, fused with a certain practicality. Whether it’s a coordinated suit or sweater and pleated trousers, the Italian label furnishes an aesthetic that masters the ideal balance of purpose and style. Rounding out sharp two-button suits, double-breasted coats and lush knits with a strong suit in textures, Corneliani presents a season, marrying tradition to a relaxed modern attitude.

L’uomo Elite–Romance is in the air when it comes to preparation for Milano’s shows. L’uomo Elite casts a dreamy mood with a sepia-hued show package for the season. Quite fitting for a selection of models, who it appears were born to be photographed, Elite’s board shines with a certain freshness. In between client favorites such as Tomek Szczukiecki and Tobias Sorensen, the agency beams with fast rising up and comers that include Miles McMillan as well as Jamie Wise. From the classic runway figure, cue Christian Ochsenfahrt to a little rebellion, calling Daniel Bamdad, Elite has their bases covered with phenomenal faces and just the right attitude.
