Capturing the rich textures of Tillmann Luaterbach’s Fall 2010 collection, photographer Syed Munawir aims his lens in the direction of the skillfully constructed show in Paris, on January 23, 2010.

“Setting the mood for his latest presentation by having no more than one freckled model on the runway at once, walking to the sound of instrumentals, including the ‘Requiem for a Dream’ theme song played out classically on piano, the designer showcased 27 looks simple to the naked eye, but skillfully thought out once closer.

An up and coming designer, Lauterbach already proves to be a master at minimalism. Making your standard shirt into something more by adding pleats, then pairing it under a jacket with a horizontal cut running across the chest, the show appeared to be styled with an artist in mind. Complete with jackets and trousers alike, printed in paint marks.” – For the review, click here

Known to close out Paris Fashion Week with a show that always leaves a lasting impression, Paul Smith presents a sharp, urban, youthful collection with a British rock’n roll influences.

Casting a crop of faces that perfectly embody the attitude we’ve come to love about a Smith showing, the main British influence came to fruition in a display of coats, vests, and pants in the classic red tartan pattern. The youthful spirit came from the pops of bright colors like brilliant blues, pinks, and purples, among others.

To dress up, the Paul Smith man has the choice of a multitude of sharp suits. But because you don’t always want to be in a suit, there were also many louche separates that could get you through the day in a comfortable and stylish day.

Describing the collection as having ’no big theme – just a lot of nice clothes’, the designer did what he does best, turning out on of his greatest collections yet.

If you have any doubts about what to wear for Fall, look to the Paul Smith collection to get your total wardrobe without a hassle.

All about lines this season, shape and easygoing structure defines the, usually scruffy, Maison Martin Margiela man.

No longer found in a police line-up, as the case in Fall 2009, the latest Margiela man can be found dressed in a range of looks that varies from classically checked patterns in wool, segwaying into graphic prints and textured/embellished leather. Nappa leather being a recurring material, appeared in the form of shirts both long and short-sleeved, collared, zipped and buttoned.

Light and ‘natural’ layering being a staple to the Margiela name, wool coats, one with leather inserts as another with checks on the inside, were found shielding belted suit-style jumpsuits and patterned button-ups worn under tubed cummerbund waist knits.

As no Margiela show would be complete without the perfect mix of embellishment or opulence, a pair of gray pailette covered pants speak to Spring 2009′s black leggings, while the show’s closing piece included a black vest with drip-like leather extras.
