JONATHAN SAUNDERS F/W 2011-2012

Jonathan Saunders, bold and talented Scottish fashion designer, known for his exceptional printed fabrics and the use of traditional screen printing techniques, has made for the f/w 2011-2012 a beautifully elegant and chic collection. Inspired by the 30s and 40s, Saunders showed a wearable collection that boasted geometrics, graphic patterns and contrast colors. Very nice the menswear collection.

Alexandre Plokhov is back

Alexandre Plokvoh - who, after the closure of Cloak in 2007, worked as Versace menswear's designer under Donatella - returns with a namesake men collection for next Fall/Winter.

The same dark and armor-like qualities that defined Cloak are back, the designer, in the past days, has showed the new line in Paris. Panels swing closed over wool jersey cardigans and hooded, asymmetrical-hem parkas; wool coats have a slightly rough feel to the touch and zip leather jackets hug the body as a second skin.

Plokvoh also followed the latest trend, showing his collection with a short movie directed by Douglas Keeve.

"The time I had some time alone" by Willy Vanderperre for Dior Homme

Kriss Van Assche chose photographer Willy Vanderperre to present his Dior Homme spring/summer 2011 collection. They have made a short movie where modern and traditional aesthetics coexist.

It's a film with a dreamlike atmosphere where person and suit come together. The abandoned location is in contrast to the luxury; the movie's idea is to show the dreams of youth, the careless feeling of freedom, the eroticism of the body enhanced by smooth fabrics. An evocative video, not a simple fashion recording.

RAF SIMONS F/W 2011-2012

The shape is the operative word of Raf Simon's collection. The fashion designer chose, for the next winter man, the beautiful caped haute couture silhouettes, with rounded shoulders. Vivid shades that colored elongated knits, the coats and oversize tunics. The duffel coat and parka were the cornerstone of the collection, there was also some college's reminiscence: his model wore a bonded flannel sweatshirts advertising allegiance to "Dead Prince College".

Not only couture shapes, but also a high-tech precision for the trousers.
