The Natural Inclination–His third collection, American designer Todd Snyder creates comfortable sportswear that mixes casual essentials with more formal pieces for the perfect adaptive wardrobe. On the textured front, wools, tweeds and speckled knits are served up in an earthy color palette while distressed denim is juxtaposed with semi-fitted trousers, some boasting cargo pockets. In addition to a smart offering of shirting, ideal for occasions with or without a tie, the collection is rounded out by sharp outerwear, ranging from the tailored trench coat to the mid-length overcoat.

A Personality–Infusing everyday wear with glamour, John Richmond put on quite the show for the fall/winter 2012 season. In a world of his own, Richmond’s man hit the catwalk with the utmost style, impressing in varied garments, ranging from treated denim to luxe evening jackets. Sparing no expense, leather, fur and other fabrications accented menswear staples with the parka, duffle coat as well as other signature pieces making an appearance. Encompassing the wide spectrum of style, tees to printed jackets made a strong impact. Whether playing it low-key in a black number or drawing attention with intensive print work, John Richmond revealed a season of desired elegance.

Excess to Light–Frankie Morello takes their man on a journey for the fall/winter 2012 season. Showing the latest collection in three different stages, a moment of excess represents hectic city life, complete with materialism. Richly adorned, tapered suiting sets the ground work for an exploration of self, translated into subtle gradients followed by exotic prints. Paired with charming boots, a more casual wardrobe emerges as shorts, shirting and lightweight jackets make a bold move against the season cool. Evolving into the utmost stage of simplicity, colors and prints eventually give way to a more quiet dimension, illustrating the season’s final canvas.

Regal Formation–Dolce & Gabbana follows a path lined with luxe fabrications and rich accents for the fall/winter 2012 season. A mix of country romance and early turn of the century dapper sentiments, the Italian house finds a place for their D&G youth amongst a mature collection of standout pieces. Dressing up suit jackets, lapels cut out of velvet mark the season, while the gradual incorporation of gold embroidery reinforces fall’s grand theme. Overlooking no facet in the life of their debonair man, the lineup transitions from sharp outerwear and companion pieces of warm wool to a more relaxed gesture that sees Dolce & Gabbana turn to their infamous silk. Whether worn as an exquisite set of pajamas or a bold move outdoors, the regal execution is the perfect touch to a collection that spares no expense.

The Business of Style–Ermenegildo Zegna tackles the wardrobe of the professional for the fall/winter 2012 season. From board meeting to impromptu plane flight, an evening out or even the slopes on vacation, Zegna’s man is ready for any occasion. While suiting dressed in a Prince of Wales print finds a classic streak with strong lines, essentials like the trench are updated with soft leather accents and an oversize silhouette. Honing in on the details, trousers with the cuff turned up reveal a printed lining that reinforces the collection’s fine attention to style. As jackets are prepared for the cold with quilting, chic numbers like a loosely cut cape jacket resonate well with Ermenegildo Zegna’s man who transverses the path between steadfast tradition and playful modernity.

The Great Tailor–Kicking off Milan Fashion Week, Corneliani takes to the runway with a sea of somber gray, navy and a hint of winter white. Fusing voluminous billowing silhouettes with a knack for tailoring, classics come across with a laid-back sartorial essence. From outerwear with oversize lapels to a cape, trimmed with fur or a cardigan tied at the waist, the Corneliani man possesses an undeniable elegance, fused with a certain practicality. Whether it’s a coordinated suit or sweater and pleated trousers, the Italian label furnishes an aesthetic that masters the ideal balance of purpose and style. Rounding out sharp two-button suits, double-breasted coats and lush knits with a strong suit in textures, Corneliani presents a season, marrying tradition to a relaxed modern attitude.
