Men’s Fashion Week just kicked off in Milan this week and Dolce & Gabanna were the first to show denim. For their Fall 2011 collection, they showed looks that were very bold, printed, and acid washed all in autumn hues. I actually like this collection. I love the sweaters, the t-shirts, and even the trouser […]
Guess put on their first runway show ever at the Bread & Butter tradeshow during Berlin Fashion week. It was located at The Kraftwerk Mitte, the center of Berlin’s fashion capital. After the show founders and owners, Paul and Maurice Marciano held an after party for the guests. They had the iconic Guess images of
Another fashion house had an array of crops walking down the runways this season for the men. But then again, what season has Junya Watanabe not sent crops down. They sent pants in many fabrications from wool, corduroy, and of course denim. This collection is one of my favorites. I love the Icelandic-knit sweater. What
The first thing I noticed this season from the new Balmain Homme collection is that there are some new colors. Not just the usual khaki and other fatigues, but some orange and teal, blues, and greens. The second thing that I noticed as well, looking through the collection, was movement. The model this season was
It is rare to spot denim at a couture if it is not at a Gaultier show. But Chanel of course is the one this season that would push the boundaries of couture during Fashion Week. For the Fall 2011 Couture collection Karl Lagerfeld featured denim and trousers in an array of pale shades with
Roberto Cavalli has just presented his Fall 2011 Just Cavalli line in Milan. The color palette featured Autumn tones, but somehow the collection had a Spring feel to me. I think it may have been the bright white set-up that is confusing me. He also had some very interesting denim pieces. Some ruffles that came
Balmain has just walked in Paris, but designer Christophe Decarnin was a no show. I’m always interested in seeing what he gives his bow in. Paris has definitely had their fair share of problems this season. This collection was once again inspired by Glam rock, but the glamorous men’s side the genre, i.e. David Bowie.
Isabel Marant has just walked in Paris and it was loaded with denim this Fall/Winter 2011/2012 season. Many pieces from jackets and jeans were made of the fabric. The color palette itself also seemed to be inspired by the fabric. There were tons of blues everywhere in this collection. The bottoms came in denim, as
Chloe is one brand that never shies away from showing at least one denim piece each season and this season was no exception. Hannah MacGibbon sent two looks down with denim. One, a skirt with some sun-faded panels and the other a pair of patchwork gauchos. I don’t know what to think about the gauchos
Stella McCartney showed a very citrusy collection for Spring 2011 in Paris. She had many looks with the lovely fruits including dresses, suits and more. There were also some denim looks. You wouldn’t expect Stella not to show any would you? She had quite a few denim looks including a dress, a skirt, shirts, a
Chanel walked this week in Paris and Karl Lagerfeld as usual did not disappoint. He had many outrageous looks this season, particularly the pink feather dress worn by one of the best models, Carmen Kass (this girl can sell sand). For this season, Karl switched up the faux furs from Fall for feathers while still
D&G is always one to show denim in their line. They also showed tons of color, something that New York was definitely lacking and florals was a huge fixture in the show this season. They had the print in many lively colors such as lime green, pinks, reds, and yellow. The denim pieces of the
