Men , Men , Men Manly Men !

I have no idea, if any one have noticed yet . but the men’s jacket pattern’s gone big this time. No more ordinary length jackets , no more regularity  left in men this season.  We have varieties in our closets, cowboy look, mountain range guy, serious looks, guy in vain . You just name it, and its there in RTW Fall 2011. Through my eyes , we have recognized different presentation style of different types of genetics in men. 

Dsquared2 Men's RTW Fall 2011

Set against a craggy mountain scene, Dsquared2 explored a theme they dubbed “Brokeback Mormon.” Despite the promising pun, the show felt kind of one-note. Rugged-chic combinations included low-slung distressed jeans, denim jackets, and metal-studded belts mixed with dress shirts and dapper waistcoats reminiscent of 19th Century American preachers. Silhouettes were long, lean, and layered. Nerdy dark specs, ( which I like )  cowboy gloves, aprons and on-trend, round hats completed the look makes all these men super hot .

Giorgio Armani Men's RTW Fall 2011

 

Giorgio Armani if we talk in here, one thing automatically comes in mind , elegant , sophisticated and classy. But in this collection they donned his gray-tinted glasses for a solid collection .The coats, long and short, formal and casual, were standouts, including the sweeping wool greatcoat that opened the show, long shearling aviator-inspired ones, and others with hoods and toggles.

 Armani slicked a coat of silvery gloss onto puffer jackets, fashioned bomber jackets from crocodile, and took the peacoat in a new direction, crafting it in lightweight wool, with patch pockets and a Nehru collar.

Gucci Men's RTW Fall 2011

The metropolitan dandy. “He’s elegant, sophisticated — and proud,” who turned out a refined, focused collection packed with rich materials and a host of signature details such as blackened bamboo handles for briefcases. Double-breasted jackets out of supple crocodile, worked beaver into hefty coats, and wove Mongolian lamb into voluminous-yet-lightweight coats.

Marc Jacobs Men's RTW Fall

 

Old-school themes in men’s wear – military, equestrian, British aristocracy – are invading hipster turf. The designer mined the Forties, creating a quiet, classic collection with period touches and details. Fur-collared coats in fatigue shades were standouts. Two-button suits had more pronounced shoulders and roomier pants. Intentionally pilled cashmere sweaters and prints by New York graffiti artist Bast added some downtown quirk.

Etro Men's RTW Fall 2011

 

Etro took a folksy, German looks turn for fall/winter, jumbling together patterned shirts and cardigans in Seventies tones with Tyrolean jackets and structured suits in country tweeds. Also in the mix were satin smoking jackets, quilted and paisley pants and sporty coats in cream wool. The overall look was pretty trippy, down to hairy shoes clothed in cowhide.
