A new comer to menswear whose collection we’re seeing for the first time and we have to say: so far so good. Amir Hoodaji is presenting his Fall/Winter 2011 collection in London next month and he’s sent us some sneak peak images that we hope you’ll like as much as we do. As soon as we get a full look book, we’ll be sure to share them with you. For the time being, check out images from Amir Hoodaji‘s first collection after the click.
We just had a peek at John Varvatos collection for Fall/Winter 2011 and, as expected, the man delivers.
The Varvatos brand as we know it is “rock n roll”; while this collection maintains an overall rock n roll feel, we think the designer has definitely been influenced by the high-end lines coming out of Italy and Japan like ma+, Lost & Found, Julius, etc. This collection has lots of pieces that remind us of the aforementioned lines with their hand-constructed pieces, frayed/unfinished edges, and a less tailored more constructed with slightly unconventional cuts aesthetic.
Nonetheless, the overall look and feel is all Varvatos and the line is very cool and very wearable. Just like we like it. Check out the full collection after the click.
Another line we’ve come to know just recently, but love what they do is Australian menswear brand Lab H O M M E. Check out our coverage of their last collection here.
LAB | Local Art Base aka LAB H O M M E is an independent label in men’s fashion which comes loaded with a healthy sense of the languidly Australian candence albeit with some extras. Combining the construction of European tailoring, a nod of Japanese shape making and bound by quality. The collection creates a foundation of classic, masculine pieces from which to extend future conceptual unisex ranges. Working around the frames of muse Jaymes Triglone, there is a gentleness to this masculinity, a modern approach to romanticism. LAB garments have considered tailoring with an ease to the construction.
