Simon Spurr Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Eng­lish Root­ing–Look­ing for the foun­da­tion of his fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion, Simon Spurr turned to images of Lon­don by Robert Frank. Tak­ing into account early twen­ti­eth cen­tury style and head­ing down a mod­ern course, ref­er­ences that include Tommy Nutter’s rein­ter­preted suit of the 1960’s come into play as Spurr dis­sects suit­ing for a rel­e­vant edge. Bring­ing together rich bur­gundy, brown, navy and other solid col­ors for a col­lec­tion dressed in plaids and tweeds, sub­tle updates were intro­duced. From leather trousers and a mag­ni­fied hounds tooth print to a sig­na­ture pen­chant for fab­ric insets, Simon Spurr’s lat­est efforts resulted in a sound show­ing, high­light­ing a sar­to­r­ial flair jux­ta­posed with mod­ern sentiments.
