Blissful Mayhem–Following a somber season, Duckie Brown designers Daniel Silver and Steven Cox weave their quirky narrative back into the collection, injecting the season’s silhouettes with volume. Offering up a perverted take on the gentleman, tailored double-breasted jackets are presented alongside baggy trousers and dressed in bold plaid prints.

Culminating in a dark palette with a strict uniform, Duckie Brown reinterprets formal wear for the modern man with ease on the mind.

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.
