James Long Fall/​Winter 2012 | London Fashion Week

Earth Mat­ter–Look­ing to the work of Cana­dian pho­tog­ra­pher Edward Bur­tyn­sky for inspi­ra­tion, James Long found a rocky ref­er­ence after revis­it­ing Quar­ries. Trans­lat­ing stones and debris into a fan­tas­tic col­lec­tion start­ing point with fine tex­tures and rich col­ors, Long deliv­ered a visual treat. Hip and youth­ful, the range’s first sig­na­ture marker belonged to low slung trousers, crafted in volu­mi­nous fits. Paired with pan­eled out­er­wear, many fab­ri­ca­tions and prints came together, cre­at­ing sub­tle gra­di­ents and worn fac­tions. Weav­ing in a knit like no other, Long’s trade­mark made a strong impres­sion with del­i­cately exe­cuted pieces offer­ing a fierce point of view, whether paired with a tas­selled scarf or con­structed as a min­i­mal twin­set. Alto­gether, a cool effort for the designer, the col­lec­tion proved a suc­cess, exud­ing a unique effort­less atti­tude, com­ple­mented by excel­lent con­ti­nu­ity and workmanship.

Tim Coppens Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

The Active Uni­form–Tread­ing a fine path for the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son, Tim Cop­pens turns to the film Drive for inspi­ra­tion. Fil­ter­ing menswear fun­da­men­tals through a course, asso­ci­ated with rac­ing and hockey, tai­lor­ing is relaxed and moods var­ied. Option­ing fit­ted trousers and a more laid­back sil­hou­ette, found in jog­ging pants, casual and for­mal iden­ti­ties coex­ist. The ground­ing force to knitwear and jack­ets, a sporty aes­thetic is adapted for Coppen’s new uni­form. Sleeves are zip­pered, leather insets embraced and strong lines incor­po­rated for a detailed fin­ish to an evolv­ing season.

Simon Spurr Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Eng­lish Root­ing–Look­ing for the foun­da­tion of his fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion, Simon Spurr turned to images of Lon­don by Robert Frank. Tak­ing into account early twen­ti­eth cen­tury style and head­ing down a mod­ern course, ref­er­ences that include Tommy Nutter’s rein­ter­preted suit of the 1960’s come into play as Spurr dis­sects suit­ing for a rel­e­vant edge. Bring­ing together rich bur­gundy, brown, navy and other solid col­ors for a col­lec­tion dressed in plaids and tweeds, sub­tle updates were intro­duced. From leather trousers and a mag­ni­fied hounds tooth print to a sig­na­ture pen­chant for fab­ric insets, Simon Spurr’s lat­est efforts resulted in a sound show­ing, high­light­ing a sar­to­r­ial flair jux­ta­posed with mod­ern sentiments.

Band of Outsiders Fall/​Winter 2012 | New York Fashion Week

Ol’ Santa Fe–Adapt­ing his prep­ster uni­form with the typ­i­cal cheek one has come to expect of Band of Out­siders, designer Scott Stern­berg vis­ited the south­west for the inspi­ra­tion of his lat­est show­ing. Set under the water­color painted sky, Sternberg’s pla­toon came out to play with all their smarts on dis­play. From evening wear to daily essen­tials, a col­lec­tion dressed in rich hues and accented with Navajo-​​inspired prints delighted. Sleepy loungewear pro­vided the quiet coun­ter­part to more pol­ished num­bers, rounded out by blaz­ers, crew­neck sweaters and fit­ted shirt­ing. Mean­while, cor­duroy reared its head with pants and jack­ets adding to a clas­sic Amer­i­cana image. Incor­po­rat­ing quilt­ing and shear­ling, care­fully con­structed out­er­wear added a tough exte­rior to more gen­tle touches such as tas­sel adorned knitwear. Alto­gether mix­ing gar­ments of a sub­dued mood with louder state­ment pieces, Band of Out­siders deliv­ered their finely tai­lored aes­thetic with a splash of south­west­ern nos­tal­gia to color the season.
