Giorgio Armani F/W 2012- Milan Fashion Week

Runway Review: Shorts seem to be on Mr Armani's mind come fall as they made a more sophisticated appearance on his namesake runway. Peppered with saturated color and deluxe tweaks here & there, confidently styled looks were both 'modern eccentric' and evocative of untouchable, yet approachablly easy glamor. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Giorgio Armani Fall 2012 In their words: THE MODERN WOMAN LOVES TO DRESS IN ANDROGYNOUS AND MASCULINE CLOTHES, YET SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SACRIFICE FEMININE SUBTLETY AND LIGHTNESS. SHE APPRECIATES CLASSIC ELEMENTS LIKE TAILORING AND SEEKS ECCENTRICITY FOR ITS MODERN FEEL. GIORGIO ARMANI DRAWS THESE QUALITIES INTO A COLLECTION WHOSE UNMISTAKEABLE HALLMARK IS THE MEETING OF CONTRADICTORY OPPOSITES. IMAGINE SLENDER, YET NOT SNUG, PANTS IN GREY PRINCE OF WALES, ENDING IN A PAIR OF POINTED

The common element, which completely changes the silhouette, are the trousers that end at the knee with a brand new cuff-effect, finished off as always with opaque hose. The

Beautiful Fall- Valentino Fall 2012 Menswear

It's no secret that we're big fans of the direction Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have taken Valentino since taking the helm of the storied house a few years ago and their latest outing for Fall 2012 men's wear was another remarkable achievement of masterful tailoring updated with a subtle sense of subversion. While the base of the collection was a dashing yet familiar classic suit, collared shirt and tie, jackets and outerwear were updated in sculpted cocoon shapes and color-blocking and featured dropped shoulders, contrasting fabrications and collar tabs that allowed for coats to be worn elegantly over the shoulders. This lent the collection a thoroughly modern appeal that was original, while a moody color palette kept it

As per usual, from New York collections one can expect pragmatic sportswear(the kind that doesn't often reinvent the wheel, maybe just spins it), from London one can expect out-of-this-world, well executed propositions and from Milan; riotous colors, bold adornments and brilliant uses of technological advancements in fabrications. And with that being said, Milanese designers did not disappoint. We saw a large variety of finessed, retro-inspired options full of energy, enticing plays on print and a generous dose of giddy sex appeal. Here's a look at our favorite outings from the season in Milan.
