Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Menswear


A master of progression, Raf Simons takes the Jil Sander man on a journey from spring’s colorful bursts of color and narrow proportions to boxy shapes and darkness. Throwing in a subtle shift of texture and oversize pocket details, Simons’ knack for refined but simple tailoring gets a powerful kick of subdued quirk for a collection that is undeniably Jil Sander.



 Tim Blanks review

Raf Simons claimed he wanted to go back to the roots of Jil Sander's menswear for Fall. He was thinking about the reduction, the purity, the very specific fabrics, and even the Amish influence on those early days. But ultimately, it was his own take on the elements that constitute "Jil Sander" that determined the nature of the collection.

Intriguingly, Simons designed without a single piece of clothing from the archive in his studio, which is probably why the most immediate cross-reference was his own Spring womenswear for Jil. For his women's show, he talked about "a mille-feuille of color." Here, it was subtly adapted, particularly in the doubled turtlenecks. Pink lined a parka hood, yellow shone from under a swirling charcoal coat. The experimental volumes of the women's clothes were toned down but still implied, for instance, in the caped back of a blouson. And the chunky parkas that cut such a dash last season made a welcome reappearance. So that was the Raf-ness of the show.

The Jil-ness came through in the plain, felted square-cut suits—three buttons, high closing. They were paired with similarly shaded tops and, even when colored broom yellow or cyclamen, they had a distinctly sober air. Simons elaborated on the sobriety by using the quilting of the Amish as the signature detail for jackets, pants, and tops. On the other hand, he injected an ironic note by duplicating the nobility of the handcrafted Amish tradition with the most advanced fabric technology. That's where Raf-ness and Jil-ness reunited—and it felt so good.

Star Style - Penn Badgley


Actor Penn Badgley was spotted walking on the set of the popular TV show Gossip Girl with a Moncler jacket and a pair of Hunter Tall Boots ($125) on his feet. These boots were designed for everyday wear, but especially come in handy during fall and winter weather.




Yves Saint Laurent Biker Sweatshirt


YSL comes through with some perfect wears for the man looking to up their sweatshirt game some. “A grey cotton-fleece biker sweatshirt by Yves Saint Laurent. Long ribbed arms. Ribbed and elasticated cuffs and hemline. Off-centre diagonal double silver zip closure. Ribbed collar. Two front slit pockets. Standard fit. Hemline finishes below the waist.”  Browns has them.


3.1 Phillip Lim Climber Jacket Worn by Kanye West



I stumbled across this very cool 3.1 Phillip Lim “Climber” jacket ($695), which happens to be the exact one that Kanye West was seen wearing back in August. This slate blue double breasted blazer jacket is belted at the waist and detailed with bellow pockets.

The 2010 fall/winter Stone Island Shadow Project has been shown in various instances over the last few months. Providing a more comprehensive look into the collection is a lookbook detailing the styling and incorporation of each piece. The brand has combined Stone Island’s well-known penchant for technical fashion with the further added design element having brought ACRONYM founder Errolson Hugh on board. Rigorously-tested materials are combined in a more fashion forward package relying on many unseen details and unorthodox executions.
