Band-ache–Enlisting a silhouette that marries draped fabrics to a more strict tailored counterpart, Heikki Salonen embarks on a rebellious journey for the fall/winter 2012 season. Along for the voyage are references, ranging from the eighteenth century anarchist movement to eastern philosophies. Blending together an eclectic style dialogue, Heikki Salonen creates a tapestry of youth and power. Loose shirting with frayed hems join billowing trousers, tied at the ankle with twine. Meanwhile patches tap into a punk attitude alongside a perverted elegance, employing a rusted animal print for extra notice.

New Perspectives–Nest models Nicolas Hagius, Valentin Brase, Louis Sasse, Adam Merks and Dawid Schaffranke take their spotlights as they stand in for the Hien Le show at Berlin Fashion Week. With a collection that embraces valorous hues and clean cuts, the boys embrace loosely tailored trousers, knit sweaters, outerwear and a dapper jumpsuit among other dashing pieces as they remain gallant on elevated platforms.

Simple Edge–A little raw around the edges, Dominic Louis’ man continues a trek that is wholly his own. Dressed in neutrals, Louis’ lead mixes the accessible with the bold, transitioning from an elongated plaid shirt, loose light-weight tops and cuffed trousers to more daring pieces. Whether it is trousers that billow or a pair that are laced from hem to hem, the collection exudes a notion of simplicity, perfected in its own world with a couple of deconstructed garments joining more finished alternatives.

Dressed in Prints–For the Juma man, spring 2012 is going to be about the print. A combination of various graphic designs, Juma’s prints are multicolored and appear on everything from tanks and capes to traveling bags for their latest outing. Paired with solid colored sweats or leggings and gray hi-tops, Juma’s spring efforts make for quite the unique showing.

Smart Quirks–Petrou\Man takes a walk on the wild side for the spring 2012 season, mixing designer Nicolas Petrou’s penchant for prints with a sharp uniform. Derived from earthy pigments and blues, cropped trousers, waistcoats and other coordinating pieces came together with an attention to patterned shapes. As shoulders were halved and ankles elasticized, clean classicism was transformed with a contemporary nod to quirk. / Styling by Julie Ragolia.
