Paris men's s/s 12 shows have finished last week. Here are some looks that KWIN thinks you will be interested in.
Comme des Garçons
What I like about this collection is that the trousers are quite untraditional. But it was done in such a nice way that it still has a good fit. These trousers could have had a downside that the silhouette would look short but I think that the socks did the job of making the silhouette look fit. Also their colour selection of the clothes and the headpieces is also very nice.
Dior Homme
The hats are a nice continuation from the a/w 11 collection. The collection gives a sharp yet elegant aura to the person wearing it. The combination between leather and fabrics is a good touch to the collection.
Henrik Vibskov
This collection shows a lot of variety in what Vibskov makes. Vibskov does not stick to a certain kind of style but rather creates his own style, making it visible for viewers to see that it is "Vibskov" although two silhouettes may have different shapes and sizes. What is interesting is the usage of simple primary colours and different patterns and making a good combination of them two. And the beret is a nice silver lining in the collection as a whole.
Kris Van Assche
The small yet dynamic usage of colours and patterns are a good touch to the whole collection.
Maison Martin Margiela
The colour combination and pattern combination with the fabric is very good. The silhouette with the white jacked and trousers and the black and white patterned shirt gives a gentle yet a powerful statement.
Raf Simons
The use of bright colours mingled with the dark colours in all the silhouettes is a nice touch to the whole collection.
Thom Browne
Thom Brown's collection is the most interesting for us. This collection played with the shape of the silhouette making the collection very interesting to look at. Each silhouettes has a character which makes it even more interesting. The way it uses the body and the movement of the body is quite ingenious.
Walter Van Beirendonck
Walter's use of patterns and pastel tones make each silouhette one of a kind. It is a gentle collection with a strong statement.
