Vincent Schoepfer Winter 2010

Paris-​​based designer Vin­cent Schoepfer is like that dis­tant friend that it is always a great plea­sure to recon­nect with and touch base. It’s been nearly a year since news of the last col­lec­tion and the line is as charm­ing as ever. Tak­ing the basics of menswear and inter­ject­ing it with humor and adding a mod­ern touch in cut, Schoepfer deliv­ers a per­son­able label with spunk. Approach­ing the upcom­ing sea­son with vigor, the lat­est col­lec­tion sees just the right amount of play­ful­ness and grounded design. The impor­tance of for­mal attire is played down with con­cealed but­tons and a new take on the bow-​​tie. Mean­while, wisely imple­mented leather offers the selec­tion of knits and shirt­ing options a rede­fined edge. Over­all, the col­lec­tion reminds us that no mat­ter what the occa­sion, there is always room for per­son­al­ity – no mat­ter how small or large.
