New York Fashion Week is in full swing. Unfortunately for us fashion nobodies, the only way to get into the action and be informed about the trends & season's must-haves is through the net. Enough of me whining, check out my favorite looks from different shows.
Tommy Hilfiger S/S 2012 Collection can be easily describe as the "Modern Prep." This collection was highly civilized, if not slightly rebellious with a touch of army prints, nautical stripes and color blocking to complete the boldness of the look for the season. There are so much to love about this newest offering from Hilfiger, the desert boots and the use of camo, coloured pants (really digging the red pants), tailored shorts, shirts and jackets in electrifying colors that will be good items for any man's closet. As Meenal Mistry puts it, "Hilfiger clearly wants to up his fashion ante, and in that respect, this collection had meat—and certainly gave everyone a little something to chew on."
General Idea is a Korean brand, so it's really nice to know that Asians are really breaking the barriers and trying to make a name in the western market. Creative Director Bumsuk Choi offered bold prints and patterns and highlighted colourful beachwear with orange as the hue du jour for this season. Evidently the man understand well the value of contemporary sportwear as it can be seen from every items of his collection such as parkas, jackets, knit ties, casual pants and woven shorts. Sending out the message that spring is all about being loose and staying casual.
As much as I love colors, I always adore earth tones specially the shade of gray. I adore it's versatility and softness. No wonder that I'm drooling over the entire 45 looks of DKNY S/S 2012 Collection. From the crisp tailored suits down to the easy, classic sportswear. The only thing that bugs me ... the Teva-like sandals, oh yes! Please tell me now they're not making a comeback. Overall the collection looks young, fresh and contemporary. The collection successfully showed what DKNY has to offer this coming season - style, status and success. The perfect ingredients of life for the modern man!
The Lacoste S/S 2012 Collection was the first for the Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista. Sending down the runway only nine menswear looks that mixed primary colors with vibrant brown, olive and classy navy and went for a new twist on cuts resulting to an array of simple yet sexy military-inspired basics. Most of the looks veered away from the classic old preppy design aesthetic, but I'm still digging its new direction.
