Being a fan of the work that Tim Hamilton has produced over the years, missing the opportunity to sit on his Fall 2010 show will always remain as one of my biggest regrets of the season.

All about texture this season, Hamilton heads off into a dark zone with a bit more edge and attitude in comparison to his sporty transparencies of Spring 2010. Tailoring with a twist, the designer picks up on some of the season’s biggest trends, from the mouth covering ski mask pieces that we saw at Alexander McQueen to contrast color blocking that appeared on various other runways, there was nothing left unaccomplished.

While the feel of Spring 2010 focusing more on a light and standard take on American sportswear with a Parisian edge, you can now welcome Tim Hamilton’s vision of a relatable rock god. Both leather clad and cardigan wearing, the latest Tim Hamilton man knows how to appeal to both business and everyday audiences.

Slightly world’s apart from what we saw last season, a relaxed color palette of cool and warm greys mixed in with blacks still can been seen, with harsh contrasts between the two colors appearing on a blazer, a coat turning inside out to form a collar, and a cardigan with separate patterns on each side.

The grand finale of the show consisted of Benoni Loos walking in a suit embellished far beyond the studs seen in the Prada Fall 2009 collection, tying everything back to the beautiful texture and cuts seen all throughout the show.
