MENSWEAR AW12: HERMÈS

The highly desired fashion house Hermès showed their Autumn/Winter 2012/3 Menswear collection in Paris this week. The dark collection featured reptile skins, chunky knits, leather, and smoke patterns. with hints of burgundy and stone colours. One of the models looked a lot like Joe Manganiello from Trueblood.

Menswear A/W 2011

Menswear A/W 2011 had delicious slices of what we want to see our men in next A/W. The Film Noir/ Humphrey Bogart’s 2011 update from Lanvin was lush, Dior Homme gave us greys and blacks in classic shapes with two tone lapels and voluminous man capes. The Queen of layers, levels and details Ann Demeulemeester added colour, print, and gauntlets to her monochrome palette, while Raf Simons gave us pops of colour, knee length jackets and long sweaters. Acne went ankle length with coats and trousers alike, with pops of muted purples, blues and greens.
