Fall 2011: Tommy Hilfiger

When it comes to remixed, preppy gear, Tommy Hilfiger has really hit the nail on the head, lately. His collection for Fall is a fine example of said edged americana. I loved everything about Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2011, right down to the patchwork flooring.

Fall 2011: Jason Wu

On Friday, I was able to catch the Jason Wu livestream while I was in my German class and the distraction from my utter failure at learning the language was long overdue. Jason Wu said he was inspired by photos he had seen of the construction process of Versailles. The contrast of the opulence with the raw edges of the construction are evident throughout the collection and even the set, which had a glass runway laid out over a concrete floor and plywood boxed around the chandelier. During class I found myself using the word dope (out of character) too often.

Fall 2011: Menswear: Prada

Miuccia Prada delivered a Clark Griswald friendly collection for the Fall 2011 season; the clothes were kitsch as was the two-story set toppled over linoleum. Tim Blanks shared his thoughts on the range to Style.com, "[Prada's Fall 2011 offerings are] the kind of items a flashy traveling salesman might have donned in the sixties or the seventies to cruise the casino...".

Fall 2011: Menswear: Lanvin

Lucas Ossendrijver delivered an extremely smart collection for the Fall 2011 season. I'd say the man for the digs is a grandpa who moonlights as an international spy, but GQ described the collection as, "a dose of 70s glam & swagger".

Fall 2011: Menswear: Givenchy

Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Fall 2011/12.

I apologize for the extreme amount of photos in this post, the collection was simply too sick not to post all of these photos. Fur really made a mark at the Milan shows, but I don't think anyone did it "right", until Givenchy in Paris. GQ put my thoughts into words, "clothes are rough in their roots but refined in their cut".
