Fall 2012 Collection Menswear
Another season has passed and with it a
camaraderie of designs and disasters await the eyes of those perusing
the Fall 2012 Mens collection. I went through and picked out a few of
my favourite looks and a few ...not so favourite looks.
As expected from menswear suits were
heavily featured in Milan this week, some from the likes of Canali
and Dolce & Gabanna were beautifully cut and featured a level of
elegance worthy of gracing a catwalk.
My favourite had to be this Overcoat
and Suit combo from the Canali collection. The subtle differences in
texture stopped the suit for blending together in a swathe of grey.
The touch of red in the scarf adds much needed colour to the outfit.
Altogether a well thought out piece.

On the other hand take a look at this
Suit from Calvin Klein to keep with the C thing I seem to be going
with. The glitter blended fabric works well as a party piece,
everything about this suit should technically work. Single pocket, 2
button and perfectly proportioned for the lovely gentleman wearing
it. Sadly it's just to garish for me to consider a good example of a
suit.

Dotted amongst the Suits are occasional
examples of “everyday” wear which looks as practical as a
completely impractical thing. Oversized jumpers and massive
scarf/rumple things are the token of the day. All is not lost
however, Salvatore Ferragamo presented this lovely example of a
classic jumper/trouser couple. With it's gentle colour
transformation working it's way down the body it's an almost seamless
outfit. Coupled with a pair of chiselled cheeks this look is a
killer.

Rather than trying to explain what is
going on this following picture I just want to make it clear that
this odd mish mash of ideas from Henrik Vibskov and styles just
presents a cacophony for the eyes. Bask in it and try not to vomit.

I could go on for hours listing my
favourites but I won't. Instead I leave you with a few of my other
favourites including the military influences of Balmain and Alexis
Mabille the velvet elegance of Etro and the gender stereotype
breaking beauty of Gaultier. Enjoy and goodnight.
