Dior Homme Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Com­bat­ive Fash­ion–Fol­low­ing an impres­sive show­ing for his name­sake, Kris Van Ass­che returned to the run­way for his lat­est col­lec­tion for Dior Homme. Another inspir­ing lineup for the sea­son, Van Ass­che let the focus on tai­lor­ing take a back­seat with a fully fleshed out motif that empha­sized sports­wear with a mil­i­taris­tic flair. Hid­den under caps and shades, the men of Dior took to the run­way with a strong stance on suit­ing, giv­ing way to more relaxed pieces. Don­ning low slung trousers and over­size out­er­wear, cut to max­i­mize pow­er­ful move­ment, gar­ments in an army green gave the sea­son a life dra­mat­i­cally dif­fer­ent from pre­vi­ous col­lec­tions. Play­ing with shear­ling, pip­ing and tech­ni­cal fab­rics, crisp com­bat­ive sil­hou­ettes were at once fresh, mark­ing a suc­cess­ful over­all out­ing for Dior Homme.

Kris Van Assche Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

The Work­force–Show­ing one of his strongest col­lec­tions to date, Bel­gian designer Kris Van Ass­che turned to world affairs to take hold of his lat­est inspi­ra­tion. Cast­ing the banker and the work­ing class as his char­ac­ters of the sea­son, Van Ass­che took his stead­fast pen­chant for suit­ing to a new dimen­sion. Evok­ing a cer­tain ele­gance that felt fresh, men of a roman­tic imag­i­na­tion breezed by the cat­walk. For an ele­ment so fre­quently referred to, Van Assche’s turn to the work­er­swear aes­thetic prompted a regal qual­ity when blended with his skills in con­struc­tion and drap­ing. Relaxed trousers, cut to a fine art floated by while more fre­quented items like the bomber jacket felt deci­sively urban. Jux­ta­posed with knits that fell like a dream, in a sea­son with so much focus on suit­ing, Kris Van Assche’s fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion exe­cuted the fun­da­men­tal with such ease and difference.
