What We Love About Carven Pre-Spring 2012

Runway Review: The re-birth of a label with a limitless reach, what with it's friendlier price-points and ageless appeal. We've been big fans of designer Guillaume Henry's charmingly off-kilter bourgeois chic propositions at Carven ever since he took the reins of the quietly storied French maison two years ago. >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway Reviews His first ever Carven Pre-Collection for Spring 2012 is packed with the kind of easily wearable and distinctively designed pieces that should take this label from the minor leagues to cult status without fail.

TRUSSARDI MEN’S COLLECTION SPRING/SUMMER 2012 They have opened their wardrobes, packed their luggage, and set off for Palazzo Trussardi in Milan. Some are driving a classic car while others are arriving in the Trussardi BMW 5 Series GT. Some have grabbed a taxi from the airport, while others are aboard a stretch limo or pedaling a Trussardi bike. Some are alone and others are traveling in a group.

Collection Review: The variety of textures and fabrications is a result of a detailed and sophisticated eye and it allows solid colors to really stand out next to each other.
