Martine Rose Fall/Winter 2012

McQ Fall/Winter 2012
Fall 2012 looks combat green in the eyes of Sarah Burton, appointed creative director at McQ since Alexander’s passing away. The diffusion line takes the stage for the first time, bringing WWII military finery through and through. Leather globes, wool coats, trench coats, and army combat boots. The inspiration seems a bit passé… However, it was the perfect excuse to execute uncluttered tailoring and bring it to the spotlight. What reminds me Inglourious Basterds, Michael Fassbender… and his snub at the Oscars! –Just saying. »
Central Saint Martins MA Fall/Winter 2012 – Craig Green
Craig Green’s Saint Martins MA F/W 1 collection looks east for inspiration. Turkish Whirling Dervishes come to mind, going round and about. Clean cut Turkish abayas for men. Long niqāb and taqiyah caps are in full bloom too. Even so, the total look is austere. Exoticism is nowhere to be seen –black and white predominate the color palette. These men walk the urban landscape, backpackers of the future coupling East with West. »
Central Saint Martins MA Fall/Winter 2012 – Kenji Kawasumi
If there is something to highlight in Kenji Kawasumi‘s Central Saint Martins’ MA F/W 12 collection is the experimentation with thick wools and felts. A creamy pastiche of puffy coats and garments, heavy pants for winter that look like warm-y melted packing-peanuts. It’s not the first time that the Japanese designer explores new ways of working with textiles though. He did so on his BA collection, using laser cut fabrics and mixing knit with clear acrylic. An approach to fashion that goes hand in hand with textile research. Now that body silhouettes seem to have been all done and designed, fabrics become the next lab for avant-garde; something Japanese artists are very well known for (Miyake, anyone?). »
Marni at H&M Spring/Summer 2012 Men’s Lookbook
Marni’s collection for H&M is all about freedom and experimentation. Marni prints and colours intended to mix and match together in a playful way. For men, the colours and fabrics are softened for a relaxed take on menswear staples that is truly Marni. The use of print is subtle, often as a lining or as a contrast detail for shirts, the silhouette a modern and relaxed take on masculine classics. »

Marlon Gobel Fall/Winter 2012
Marlon Gobel’s inspirations for his Fall/Winter 2012 collection were many and assorted. On a first glance, a futuristic approach to the youth’s decade, the 50’s, came to mind. Football-inspired super heroes dressed in Swarovski crystal armor shared the catwalk with cutting-edge detectives in quirky, textured puffy suits. Lumberjacks and preppy high-scholars were depicted too. The New York based designer sure fancied a good clean-cut silhouette, all men dressed in straight pants and waist-length tops. »
