Kenzo 2012 Fall/Winter Collection

Kenzo has certainly been making substantial strides as of late to solidify its presence within the high-meets-low fashion landscape. After debuting a range of Vans collaborations to much success, today the label unveils a trio of new releases for its Fall/Winter 2012 collection. Guided by the foresight and aesthetic of its Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, each of the three pieces manage to blend elements of loud colors and all-over-print patterns with a sense of mature sophistication. Each of the two outerwear options makes use of quilting while a knit sweater sees a bold chromatic embellishment that resides front and center across the chest.

Givenchy Flag-Print T-Shirt

Known for his fixation with the American flag, it’s no surprise that Riccardo Tisci has frequently incorporated the use of stars and stripes into past Givenchy collections. Taking it a step further for the latest graphic print T-shirt, a re-worked version of the iconic flag is placed in a vertical orientation while a circle of nine leather stars are affixed directly in the center. There is a sense of contrast, as the vintage and worn flag is juxtaposed next to clear-cut black stars. This bold shirt is available now at MR PORTER for a price of $475 USD.

FACETASM 2012 Fall/Winter New Releases







FACETASM‘s 2012 fall/winter collection was an innovative blend of patterns, fabrics and proportions, lending the genre of streetwear a decidedly high fashion bent. A protege of both UNDERCOVER and COMME DES GARCONS, Hiromichi Ochiai designs his garments with dreams “about the future,” yet simultaneously steeps his collections in tradition. The new offerings are inspired by the “things that surround us and live inside us,” in this case translating to layered looks showcasing leopard prints, tartans, and shearling, while traditional materials and patterns like herringbone are imbued with fresh cuts and silhouettes. In an array of big tees, sweaters, outerwear and woven shirts, FACETASM offers a textural and stylistic feast for the senses. Selected pieces from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection will be hitting our online store today and tomorrow.
