Emporio Armani Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Apoc­a­lypse Now–Empo­rio Armani grav­i­tates towards the darker side of fall with a somber hued show­ing for the new sea­son. Mix­ing a retro atti­tude with Armani’s brand of mod­ern, a laid-​​back wardrobe of essen­tials come together with an array of arrest­ing acces­sories for plenty a piece to entice the styl­ish. Don­ning an over­size beret tipped to the side or a hooded scarf, the man of Empo­rio Armani calls atten­tion to an empow­ered lineup that explores var­i­ous sil­hou­ettes and cuts, while also pro­pelling the time­less­ness of sta­ples like the pin­striped suit.

Bottega Veneta Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Total Look–Bot­tega Veneta cre­ative direc­tor Tomas Maier aimed to com­plete a total look for this season’s col­lec­tion. Exam­in­ing pro­por­tions and fit from head to toe, the lat­est range came together as final prod­ucts, a cou­ple of steps removed from the ini­tial inspi­ra­tion source. Play­ing exquis­itely with graphic shapes in this aspect, com­ple­men­tary col­ors melded together as abstract shapes dis­sected Maier’s alto famil­iar can­vas. How­ever, tak­ing a step into the future, a lit­tle rebel­lion sur­faced with treated fin­ishes and a hint of leather, being pieced together for out­er­wear adorn­ments and even­tu­ally the season’s stand­out trousers.

Les Hommes Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

The Don of the Sea­son–Lay­ered in lush knits and grand out­er­wear, the man of Les Hommes makes his way back to the cat­walk. Fol­low­ing a cul­tured get­away, color, print and vol­ume paint an image of refine­ment with a dar­ing under­tone. While leather gar­ments con­tribute to a mod­ern hard streak, soft­ness is deliv­ered in the form of sweaters in vibrant hues. Relat­ing the ten­sion of fit and vol­ume, large over­size sleeves taper for a dis­tinct vis­age. Mean­while, trousers are tapered and relaxed for the appro­pri­ate note to an eclec­tic col­lec­tion that seam­lessly jux­ta­poses fine suit­ing with charm­ing knitwear.

Frankie Morello Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

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.

Roberto Cavalli Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Explor­ing New Options–Cast­ing a var­ied lot of char­ac­ters and explor­ing dif­fer­ent sil­hou­ettes and color schemes for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son, designer Roberto Cav­alli turns his atten­tion to the future. Ton­ing down the color within rea­son, out­er­wear takes on the dom­i­nant role in a seam­less lineup of lay­ered ensem­bles. A man of sev­eral iden­ti­ties, Cavalli’s man dons a bright-​​colored cape when not don­ning a dap­per bow tie for an evening on the town. Tow­ing the line between time­less ele­gance and mod­ern expec­ta­tions, the col­lec­tion reviews a well-​​versed ven­ture. From tai­lored and fit­ted to over­size and play­ful, Roberto Cavalli’s lat­est col­lec­tion show­cases the fan­tas­ti­cal whims of a clever wardrobe with infi­nite room to grow.

Neil Barrett Fall/​Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

On the Move–Bundling up with Neil Bar­rett is the choice made easy come next fall, with the designer’s lat­est col­lec­tion ush­er­ing in a sea­son of shapely out­er­wear for dra­matic flair and func­tion­al­ity. Dressed in clas­sic camel, rich bur­gundy or char­coal gray, a med­ley of col­ors paint a pic­ture of the man on the move. Com­ple­mented with a lit­tle urban grit, relaxed gar­ments are pro­duced with a fun rein­ven­tion. From the com­mon hooded sweat­shirt, repro­duced in a fan­tas­tic new sher­ling tex­ture to strik­ing items like the quilted crew-​​neck, Bar­rett res­onates a per­sonal appeal. With a sar­to­r­ial ges­ture or two, the fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion of Neil Bar­rett achieves an effort­less stride infus­ing sharp clas­sics with the fine details that cham­pion the inven­tive­ness of fashion.
