Bananas Fall/​Winter 2012 Show Package

Bananas–True to their off­beat name, all is well in par­adise when it comes to Paris agency Bananas. Serv­ing up clas­sic faces along­side fashion’s favorite quirky boy, the infec­tious per­son­al­i­ties are in intense demand and Bananas has the sup­ply. At one end of the spec­trum is bad boy extra­or­di­naire Yuri Pleskun, matched this sea­son with the charm of new kid on the block, Jake Short­all or fur­ther­more, Eric Ramos. For dark and brood­ing, the strik­ing Lucho Jacob is always a great match or for an androg­y­nous flair, there is Jaco Van Den Hoven. From con­stant cover star RJ King to the clas­sic blue-​​chip achieve­ments of Nico­las Ripoll or Ryan Kennedy, Bananas’ shin­ing lot comes full cir­cle with a guar­an­teed fit for all Paris’ com­ing attractions.

J.Crew Spring 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Today’s Prep–J.Crew head designer Frank Muyt­jens looked to the paint­ings of Fair­field Porter and Rauschen­berg as the inspi­ra­tion of his lat­est col­lec­tion for the label. Mix­ing var­i­ous hues of the same color for inter­est­ing ensem­bles, the new range blended Porter’s fresh col­ors with the tac­tual knack of Rauschen­berg. From mil­i­taris­tic pieces, updated from the archives or func­tional clas­sics such as the two-​​button suit, J.Crew enjoyed spring efforts, com­plete with reversed prints, youth­ful cuts and a new-​​age timelessness.

Lay­ered Per­fec­tion–Kick­ing off the sea­son with a light color palette and a flurry of easy gar­ments – effort­lessly lay­ered in a sig­na­ture fash­ion, Nicholas K crafted a strong spring wardrobe. Whether heav­enly in white or tak­ing a dark step in neu­trals, the lat­est lineup delighted with light-​​weight pieces, draped seam­lessly for a casual for­ray. Pair­ing sheer tops, cropped draw­string trousers, relaxed out­er­wear and other desir­able pieces together, Nicholas K, once again, pre­sented a col­lec­tion that felt cur­rent with a well-​​grounded edge.
