plenty of white + chunky belts @ 3.1 PHILLIP LIM menswear a/w 2012

3.1 Phillip Lim opted for white (mainly) for his latest (a/w 2012) menswear collection, from white asymmetrical tops, trousers, coats, sleeveless blazers and even shoe laces. Fantastic to wear on a day out but not very practical, especially in London.

long tunic tops + cropped trousers @ COSTUME NATIONAL menswear A/W 2012

Fantastic autumn/winter collection from Costume National by Ennio Capasa. I can definitely see myself wear most of the looks. I adore the long ribbed tunic tops and cropped fitted trousers. I also love the detailing of the jackets (with ribbed sleeves) and the trench coats worn like backpacks.

lots of black and leather @ JIL SANDER menswear A/W 2012

With the exception of two coloured sweaters – one in brown and the other in green – Jil Sander‘s menswear autumn/winter 2012 collection by Raf Simons is very monochromatic. Plenty of leather pieces such as belted coats, jackets, tops and trousers. Majority of the silhouettes are fitted and most of the looks are  slick and (of course) minimal.

skirts + bird of paradise prints | GIVENCHY MENSWEAR SPRING 2012

More gender-breaking pieces from Givenchy menswear spring 2012 by Riccardo Tisci. More men in skirts, which eventually (and hopefully) will become the thing of the present. The bird of paradise prints are delightful, which goes really well with the light and summer-y colour palette.
