Alexandre Plokhov Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Dark Truce–Stag­ing his debut run­way show for his name­sake label, Alexan­dre Plokhov kicked off the evening with dark glam­our tak­ing the reigns. Cre­at­ing svelte fig­ures, clad in black, slen­der trousers came together with long skirts, paired with elon­gated tops. From a sleeve­less apron-​​cut blazer and asym­met­ri­cally fas­tened jacket to ultra-​​glam acces­sories that included both gloves and shawls, Plokhov treated the New York audi­ence with a rebel­lious gam­ble before show­ing a hand at more struc­tured wears. Loosely tai­lored, the pin-​​striped suit made an appear­ance, fea­tur­ing an off­beat sil­hou­ette … a fit­ted cropped jacket, plung­ing neck­line, com­plete with trousers fea­tur­ing a loosely draped crotch. Blend­ing suit­ing with tunics and knitwear, Plokhov made the return to more bold gar­ments by the collection’s end, exper­i­ment­ing with sil­hou­ettes and shape for a struc­tured uni­form, jux­ta­posed with slick leather for a strong final impression.

Nicholas K Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Edge on the West­ern Front–Lend­ing their lay­ered cool a fresh new edge, Nicholas K vis­ited the west for the inspi­ra­tion of their fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion. Craft­ing their own Man of Black, but sure to include their sig­na­ture pen­chant for fleshed out neu­trals, a tough exte­rior was brought forth with strong out­er­wear. Struc­tured and lined, the shin­ing moment to many an ensem­ble, coats were weaved in as the per­fect com­pan­ion to a wide array of knitwear. While a cou­ple of pieces were loosely draped with tog­gles, more tra­di­tional pieces offered bouts of clas­sic menswear for the highly acces­si­ble wardrobe. Treated with cowl necks and acces­sorized with leather hol­sters as well as hats, Nicholas K’s lat­est col­lec­tion debuted with an impres­sive charm that saw the brand demon­strat­ing the elas­tic­ity of their wel­comed aim at a con­sis­tent aes­thetic that mar­ries func­tion to style.

Yohji Yamamoto Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Raw Sophis­ti­cate–Yohji Yamamoto has always pos­sessed the fine abil­ity of being able to take hon­est gar­ments and lend them a regal spirit, whether cut from lux­u­ri­ous fab­ri­ca­tions or crafted on the mend with any­thing but riches on the mind. The fall/​winter 2012 sea­son is no dif­fer­ent. Some­how, Yamamoto cre­ates a roman­tic fig­ure of his man, dress­ing down his sig­na­ture loosely fit­ted suit­ing with over­size wraps in muted earth tones. Enjoy­ing a lit­tle humor with floppy pipe top hats, a sub­tle cheeky image is jux­ta­posed with the somber mood, cre­ated by out­er­wear boast­ing mil­i­taris­tic insignia. Belong­ing to the same var­ied world, ele­gance is abound with coats bar­ing gold but­tons, prim white neck ties and an inter­est­ing take on the Lon­don banker. Alto­gether the per­fect style palette for the sea­son, Yamamoto once again excels with an aes­thetic that once again feels fresh.
