Moroccan sounds, a Moroccan smell (!) and half naked dancers; Sjaak Hullekes’ show has started!
Inspired by Gemstone, Marrakesh, the movie Pink Narcissus and clips of Serpentine Dancers Sjaak presented a beautiful collection in warm, rich shades like amber and aubergine.
He showed perfectly tailored pants, shirts and jackets. There were gorgeous woolen winter coats and perfect felt hats. Sjaak even designed some underwear (including a few strings!) worn by eight dancers who made the show extra special.
It’s been five years since Sjaak showed his work during Amsterdam Fashion Week and we’re very glad he is back!

Lanvin Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2012

Tiny waists and broad shoulders; Lucas Ossendrijver definitely renewed the male silhouette for this fall collection. He came up with long loose pants, oversize jackets tossed on the models’ shoulders and what appeared to be boxing boots.
The collection balanced on the fine line between being wearable and being cartoonesk. Yet if you’d take away the extravagant styling of the show most of the designs looked more subtle.
Besides full looks in camel, blue or red, looks with bold stripes and your typical deep red Tartan print were introduced. Still there was plenty of grey and black, but Ossendrijver managed to keep the collection quite light, which is very rare for a menswear winter collection.
It may take a while before your average male guy decides to dress in those black high waisted pants and that tight red and grey sweater. But more accentuated waists for men are becoming a trend, so Lanvin definitely nailed that one.

Junya Watanabe Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2012
Junya Watanabe is fascinated by all American work wear, and it’s not different with his new fw2012 collection. This time he focused farmers, with the loose fitting jeans, the plaid shirts and leather suspenders. There were also (denim) suits with leather elbow patches and patches of leather and pleads.
Not really the most exciting collection of this week, but surely attractive to some men
Givenchy Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2012
Riccardo Tisci’s fall winter 2012 collection focused again at his signature clothes: sweatshirts, T-shirts, leggings and kilts. And again prominent prints and graphic elements, like stars and stripes.
The tailoring was black and red and chic. The designer also played with trompe-l’oeil layers, putting pea coat-like vests over leather jackets or wool topcoats. And the show ended with sparkles. The tops of white shirts twinkled with crystals, while black enamel stars came out over the shoulders of black sweaters.
