Balmain Pre-Fall 2012
I now see what Olivier Rousteing is talking about when he said he was taking Balmain back to its couture days. The clothing now looks in harmony with the price range. I do miss all the rips, tears and endless amounts of denim, but couture is the soul of the brand so that is where it should be.
The 2012 Pre-Fall collection had tons of prints, color and of course the classic glitz. There was also no shortage of leather. I think the collection is really great. There are quite a few pieces that I find amazing. The leather pants above are just everything. Trouser pockets, check. Leather, check. Inseam-zipper and motorcycle stitching, double check. My other favorites would have to be the printed pajama pants, all the jackets, and the black long-sleeve dress. I love the graphic at the waist. I would love to see that dress on Zoe Saldana or Kate Bosworth. You can see the full collection below.
Dior Homme Fall 2012
I have a huge love for olive green (the only color I actually wear other than blue jeans). So when I saw the new Fall 2012 Dior Homme collection I instantly fell for it. I never would have thought that I would love outerwear from another fashion house other than Burberry, but I do (I think it may be my love for the color palette).
The jackets are just perfect. The paneling, quilting, and color blocking is really amazing. That jacket above has to be my favorite piece from the collection. It is just everything, I think, even with all that detail it all works. I also like the fit of everything. They were slim, but there was still some bag to them. They didn’t look so severe which I liked. This collection to me is an overall success. You can click through some of the looks below.
Marni Fall 2012
I love Marni! I cannot say how much. Every time I see a sweater by them I am just in awe. They make such quirky printed sweaters that I just love. I cannot wait for the H&M collaboration to come out. The sweaters are just to die for.
The Fall 2012 men’s collection had the classic Marni minimal quirkiness. The quirks were in the prints as usual. There was paneling, hamster fur scarves and jackets. It’s all just amazing. I would want every single piece. You can check out the collection below.
Givenchy Fall 2012
Whenever I see Givenchy each season, the first thing that pops into my head is the song The Double by We Fell to Earth. The dark theological theme each season just goes well with the melancholic vibe of the song, in my opinion.
For this season, the theme was still as prominent as in the previous ones. He incorporated the theme into his other inspirations of Minotaurs and Americana (hence all the stars and stripes). Ricardo Tisci does such a great job incorporating the theme with other inspirations, they never look confused or that they are clashing. The bomber jackets are great. I also love all the denim this season (something that is rare from such a high fashion men’s brand from Paris). There was also no shortage of kilts this season just like the other ones. You can see all the kilts and denim in all their glory below. You can also join in discussions about high end brands in our community here.
Dries Van Noten Fall 2012
I am pretty obsessed with the Dries Van Noten Fall 2012 collection. He just comes out with one of the best prints for men each season. For this season, he went for a more psychedelic print opposed to the stripes from the previous (which I still lust over).
I just love this collection. I would wear the look above in a second. I would switch out the turtleneck for just a slouchy white tee. The jacket and pants are what I love the most about that look. You can check out the many printed items by Dries below.
Celine Pre-Fall 2012
Celine coats are always perfect, in my opinion, and the Pre-Fall 2012 collection was full of coats that were nothing less. I love how sleek this collection is. I also like the over-sized fits. They were big, but they were tailored so well that they work. That jumpsuit above is just breathtaking.
Phoebe Philo is a master at paneling. Those button-ups are also amazing. I love that they are brown and white this season. The fur jacket with the teal bib detail is a great one. I will say though that I am surprised to see fur. I didn’t think that Philo would ever feature fur being that she said she would not use it. Other than that mishap, the collection is just so amazingly sleek.
