Conquering a territory that’s not within their usual range of styling, Lanvin has successfully infused the military aesthetic to their new collection for Spring/Summer 2012. Combined with some sturdy, avant-garde pieces that are strong and tough to swallow, irony to the bright and bold colors and tribal prints has made this a one of a kind fashion extravaganza.

Focusing on the contrast ideas of color blocking that has moved behind the supposedly individuality of each pieces, the eruption of modernity has made a fair share to highlight tailoring and flamboyant palettes.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Fashion Show

When the heat starts to glare, travelling is something we commonly do during this time of the year. And Louis Vuitton’s new collection has finally broke into this sort of travel agenda, coinciding their motion commercials that I think made this collection so relevant with how men should be travelling in style. Kim Jones, the newly appointed menswear designer for LV has set an interesting mood as the show progresses. First came the sartorial getups, and then succeeded by safari travel layering that shows above normal luxury mix. As for the overall, Mr. Jones has made a successful start.

Gucci Spring 2012 Fashion Show

For Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection, Creative Director Frida Giannini puts her Gucci boys to the slim fit spotlight again but with a more relax, casual, refined and very chic feel. Tainted with a great tailor execution that’s hushed the Italian suave perception of the label, Frida has absorbed an English vibrancy that’s very meek yet strong in appearance.

Dries Van Noten Spring 2012 Fashion Show

Last season, DVN paraded sophisticated modern lads who were romantic in attitude but superstar in name. He channeled David Bowie through his mannequins and they were really chic lads. But just recently, Dries had his game face on with the navy blue palette. Yup, these are deep toned blues that are always mysterious but forever wearable. The main color is shocked with the ultra fascinating bolds of strong colors and thick stripe prints that have made a contemporary statement yet preserved that ideology that Dries is still on the prints.

Wooyoungmi Autumn/Winter 2011 Fashion Show

This Season Wooyoungmi presents a FW collection that melds luxury and practicality in a subtle yet convincing way.

In overt contrast to a richness of fabrication, elements of outdoor endurance and utility are introduced. Drawstrings, waterproof zips and elasticated cuffs appear on heavy wool coats, softly tailored trousers and urbane jackets, whilst waterproof trousers are worn elegantly. Avoiding classic combinations, suiting is layered with drawstring collars, hoods, quilted shells and wind-blockers. Knitwear is textured and its movement, a nod to that found in nature, is emphasized with a double yarn two-tone effect.

With couture sequins sitting effortlessly amongst over-sized outerwear and rubberised boots, style and function are an effortless pair.

Lanvin Fall 2011 Collection

It started with a wool trench coat that covers a white tailored shirt and a turtle neck piece that’s a triple layering to count, then followed by double breasted suits and the puffy outerwear that is opposition to pieces that comes with raw edges. If you come to think of it, this collection has a little bit of everything. It even comes with varied silhouettes of trousers – slim, regular, and baggy. Designers Alber Elbaz and Lucas Ossendrijver have presented a new collection that’s both artistic and realistic. It’s a collection that’s really easy to pinpoint about how it’s presented or how they look when you see it in general but some of it are hard to determine whether you’re looking to a Lanvin outfit or not.

Dior Homme Fall 2011 Collection

The setting gave a luxurious touch and gives an ice breaker to how Van Assche presented his offerings for Dior Homme from the past seasons. This one’s somehow a breather to his entire devotion for minimal and monochrome backdrop. Then the clothing came with a front line of pocketed tailored shirt that looks oriental if you see at far, followed by a supposedly sharp suit that comes with slim lapels paired with Amish inspired hat. When looked closely to the details of some shirts and suits, there goes the unbuttoned closure of which gives a distinct trademark to KVA. Just like the others, the boldness of orange suddenly pops out to this collection.

Dries Van Noten Fall 2011 Collection

Inspired so much by David Bowie and rendered a production that is and will always be theatrical, Dries Van Noten presents a Fall 2011 collection that comes with some strings attached. From it, there’s the sense of elegance, sporty, and romanticism – one side fur lapel, patterned trousers, and suits that are to-die-for. It’s said to be an appreciation of Dries to Bowie but it seems that it’s just being beautiful in so many ways.

Kris Van Assche Fall 2011 Collection

Kris Van Assche, the designer who never fails to strive up for distinctive and recognizable cuts and silhouettes, and being busy for two brands (one of which is his label), presents his Fall 2011 collection. Turning the formal or let’s say traditional suits to a modern protective outerwear, it’s just that when there’s a need for something sleek and sharp, the Van Assche trademark never fails to pop out. This season, there’s a downgrade of some colors to shades of grey, and even a consideration for brown. Pulling off looks that doesn’t go beyond expectations, just imagine the usual pairings and style, where changes of tops and bottoms take place and then results to models wearing his sharp and strong shouldered suits in the most casual and effortless approach as possible.

Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 Collection

Trying to absorb what this collection is all about, it was stated over Syle.com that Louis Vuitton’s menswear designer Paul Helbers was inspired by the monochromatic dress sense of the Amish and disturbing oeuvre of David Lynch. For what composes everything that is taken from the head designer’s inspiration, I think this collection is found in the middle of the dark future and casual/traditional luxury. Try to imagine an advance civilization that is still pulled back from the years where appreciation for refined cuts and tailoring along with leather fetishes in accessories are still adapted. That and all concept combined is what Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 is all about.

Prada Fall 2011 Collection

At Prada, there’s the reintroduction of salesman outfits that are being brought forth by certain fabric oddness and a surprising consideration from Miuccia herself – the suede. Pulling off a menswear style reference that brings to spotlight some hardworking gentlemen of the 60s, the collection’s vintage feel is summoned by tailored pieces that complete either a boyish or professional look.
