PERRY ELLIS Fall 2011 charms the runway! – with a modern uptown style taking on a sartorial suit. CHARCOAL tones in wools and cashmeres find redefinition by accenting winter whites. Architectural influences were evident not only in silhouette but in window panes, plaids and multi stripe fabrications… Camel was an attractive pick as novelty in cable knits, trousers, straight leg and relaxed washed cords and trousers were tucked into wool socks styled into short lace up boots. Texture and dimension was strong as quilted lamb vests and suede riding jackets were styled with color blocks. The label continues to make individual wardrobing an accessible sought after quality…
MIK CIRE Fall 2011 Layered in black leather, cashmere, flannel and all things L.A… it’s possible that there wasn’t a sexier menswear collection shown during fashion week. Mik Cire has become a well-defined label that never fails to reinvent an ardent image. Dusty bordeaux and Oxblood red were complimented by a parade of black lambskin jackets, wool blazers and suede jackets, with goatskin engineered trousers were thrown in black calfskin boots. Extensive seaming and studded details enhanced blazers and leather jackets, with Eye-catching looks layered with simple white and black cotton T’s, vests and silk scarves. Designer Eric Kim did not hesitate on the opportunity to showcase a handful of OX blood leather jackets, and the burst of color was well embraced by an energized audience. Knitted caps and leather backpacks found their appropriate style assignments through out the presentation. The season was defined by a European fit that allowed the comfort of layering to be sharp and modern. selection and commentary: brigitte segura, written by erica reed
