Yves Saint Laurent Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Leather’s Gen­tle­man–Craft­ing a uni­form from leather, Yves Saint Lau­rent cre­ative direc­tor Ste­fano Pilati looked to a sleek new wardrobe to out­fit his man for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son. Tak­ing the more fit­ted road this time around with sub­tle ges­tures at drap­ing, the col­lec­tion mor­phed from tai­lored and refined to ensem­bles infused with a mod­ern edge. Fea­tur­ing crisp lines, over­coats in char­coal and black bal­anced out provoca­tive under­tak­ings, rang­ing from pleated leather trousers to a waist­coat lined with fur. Tran­si­tion­ing to a loose, slouchy moment with long-​​sleeved shirt­ing that at once felt futur­is­tic, leather again became the prime focus with pure unsat­u­rated pieces end­ing the show with a youth­ful flair.

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.

Prada Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Induc­ing Power–Stag­ing a grand affair for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son, Miuc­cia Prada looked to the power found in dress for the season’s inspi­ra­tion. Fea­tur­ing a star-​​studded cast that included actors Adrien Brody, Gary Old­man and Jamie Bell, the power of influ­ence was in no short sup­ply. Somber and con­strained, striped num­bers opened the show with Prada exe­cut­ing a degree of sim­plic­ity, send­ing out double-​​breasted coats, at times lay­ered in pairs. Com­plete with pocket orna­ments, the dis­tin­guished lineup branched out to famil­iar sil­hou­ettes of sea­sons past before tak­ing a moment for the epit­ome of leisure. Cut like a fine dress­ing gown, the basis of ele­gance for the col­lec­tion was rein­forced and exe­cuted to the final look with a grand cast of characters.

Jil Sander Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Indus­trial Fash­ion–Reveal­ing a calig­i­nous col­lec­tion, fit and tex­ture made a strong state­ment for Jil Sander’s lat­est col­lec­tion. Turn­ing the under­stated into a show­stop­per, Jil Sander cre­ative direc­tor Raf Simons exe­cuted a range of his sig­na­ture sil­hou­ettes, treated in var­i­ous fab­ri­ca­tions for quite the arrest­ing points of inter­est. Con­strict­ing yet at the same time fluid, a sleek wardrobe came together with the allure of dan­ger and a cheeky side, con­tribut­ing to the collection’s com­plex­ity. From leather lunch bags and dinosaur adorned sweaters to volu­mi­nous coats, com­ple­mented by a won­der­ful elas­tic­ity, cre­at­ing a dra­matic shape, whether cinched or let out, fall’s range deliv­ered care­ful style in spades.
