Fun, Games & Shock–Explosive colors, patterns and shapes burst forth with J.W. Anderson’s latest showing during London Fashion Week. Bringing an eccentric taste palette to the season, Anderson’s fall/winter 2012 collection reads as the insane intersection between an idea of retro perfection and future utopia with a sportswear vibe thrown in for good measure. Turning up the dial and holding no barres, commitment goes a long way as mesh collarless jackets are matched by crewneck sweaters with a larger than life windowpane print. Meanwhile, trousers in interesting fabrications bare a fantastically awkward flair. Continuing an attention garnering dialogue, quilting takes center stage, ushering in a range of jackets, skirts, pants and accessories. Zany to say the least, underneath the contained chaos, Anderson pulls off a choice selection of clothes, particularly outerwear, cutting wonderful silhouettes for the fall.

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.

A Modern Proposal–The minimalist tailoring of Dior Homme creative director Kris Van Assche gains a new platform with a capsule collection, captured by the lens of Julia Hetta. Featuring Ford Europe up and comer Timothy Kelleher, front and center, the session boasts a modern ease with elements, both refined and casual melding together for a sharp look at menswear. From the long-sleeved crew-neck with buttoned cuffs and exposed seams to a polished take on urbanwear, the collection champions a modest but successful point of view.

Ford Europe–Favorites are anything but easy when it comes to Ford Europe’s star packed roster. Delivering a lineup of boys with quite the number of shows under their belt–Adrien Sahores, Robin Ahrens, Aiden Andrews and Bastiaan Van Gaalen are among an impressive list after walking more than seventy shows combined last January. Each also booking their fair share of campaigns and editorials the past year, the boys are quite representative of Ford’s excellent caliber. Popular on the runway and enjoying great relationships with labels, Victor Nylander stands out as a Dior Homme favorite while Gucci campaign star Anthon Wellsjo is never missed on the catwalk. From Linus Gustin and Lowell Tautchin to James Smith, Ford’s ranks continue as a who’s who in modeling – the ones to watch.

Bold Man’s Army–Taking inspiration from the movie Blade Runner for his spring/summer 2012 collection, Rynshu delivers a neo-monochrome futuristic world, tinged with his signature rock’n’roll touch … Spring’s distinctive feature is a rare couture lady-like technique, employing the use of organa, silk georgette or silk chiffon with sequined patterns or volume effects; leathers are transformed, painted silver, glass finished or punched … Modern and slender, the silhouette is sophisticated and sharp … Sleeves are shortened or asymmetric, armholes are slit, zips are everywhere … Renegade studded jackets and slashed trousers, conqueror biker style and graphic or army inspired and sleeveless overalls, android rib cage printed shirts or t-shirts and heavy lace-up boots compose a complete wardrobe for modern replicants …
