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.

Trussardi Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

New Era–Tak­ing over the reigns of Trussardi, designer Umit Benan finds the season’s inspi­ra­tion in British rac­ing dri­ver Jackie Stew­art. Trans­lat­ing nos­tal­gia into a con­tem­po­rary col­lec­tion, sharp dress­ing and a cool sen­ti­ment are mar­ried for indi­vid­ual pieces that steal a moment with ease. Bring­ing color to the fore­front in rich autumn hues, a chic lay­er­ing of shirt­ing reveals luxe turtle­necks, fit­ted shirt­ing with col­lars flipped and a return to the dis­tin­guished waist­coat as part of an impec­ca­ble suit.

Missoni Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

The Mis­soni Way–With her fam­ily look­ing on, Angela Mis­soni sent her men down the cat­walk with an easy air. Lay­ered lightly for the sea­son, sub­dued autumn col­ors con­tributed to relaxed out­ing, fea­tur­ing a semi-​​fitted wardrobe of knitwear, shirt­ing, and out­er­wear, exe­cuted with a sub­tle hand. The results of her­itage at work, Missoni’s sig­na­ture prints dressed an array of gar­ments that encom­passed a walk of leisure, com­plete with a laissez-​​faire atti­tude and bucket hats that gave a dis­tinct feel to the season.

Vivienne Westwood Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

The After­party–Appar­ently the world is near­ing the end of its course and tem­per­a­tures our drop­ping, so if course Vivi­enne West­wood would be the per­fect can­di­date to give her take on the sit­u­a­tion. Mix­ing her sig­na­ture brand of quirky with rather con­ser­v­a­tive instru­ments, the fall/​winter 2012 out­ing bridges the gap between eccen­tric and acces­si­ble. While a time­less mode of dress is acquired by tai­lored suit­ing and out­er­wear in sub­dued tones, per­son­al­ity is deliv­ered in spades when approach­ing the more elab­o­rate gar­ments. Play­ing with pat­terns and lay­er­ing for an end of the world freeze, West­wood plays a charm­ing hand, cre­at­ing a world where the fur coated gen­tle­man can co-​​exist with the pat­tern mix­ing deviant who boasts a pen­chant for off the cuff silhouettes.

Pringle of Scotland Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

One Step to Tomor­row–Pringle of Scot­land designer Alis­tair Carr set his sights on an easy mode for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son. Pep­pered with the occa­sional print, the col­lec­tion became largely about those essen­tial sep­a­rates to sur­vive the sea­son, but with style. Mix­ing the label’s knack for knits with impres­sive out­er­wear, the range served as the per­fect blue­print to the sea­son. From over­size out­er­wear with min­i­mal­ist detail to leather pants and a degree brash fash­ion, Pringle of Scotland’s fall 2012 col­lec­tion enveloped the care­ful trend­set­ter with a remark­able restraint.

Whether it is in the vibrant evening lights of blue and red or in the char­coal asphalt, Gior­netti mas­ters a strong color palette, cre­at­ing a sharp wardrobe of suit­ing, out­er­wear and acces­sories. From intri­cate prints that entice to the smart dou­ble breasted blazer or the allure of vel­vet, Sal­va­tore Ferragamo’s fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion finds impec­ca­ble lines and clas­si­cism at its best.
