Men’s fall/winter 2011-2012 collections: Giorgio Armani, Burberry Prorsum and Canali
The men’s fall/winter 2011-2012 collections have begun to show overseas and below I’ve included the videos from some of my favourite men’s collections from this season to date. Enjoy, I know I will (wink, wink)!
Giorgio Armani, fall/winter 2011-2012
Giorgio Armani’s fall/winter menswear collection is presented in a scaled back runway show that presents his suave and expertly tailored pieces. Hues of grey are predominantly used throughout adhering to the increasing popularity of this colour for the winter seasons. The layering of the shirts, cardigans, suits and jackets together really compliment the versatility of this collection – mixing and matching pieces or wearing them as standalone garments.
Burberry Prorsum, fall/winter 2011-2012
Burberry’s Prorsum’s collection leans heavily towards the pea coat design in various shades and materials. Overall, the first half of the collection is bright and vibrant, but by mid-point of the runway show the clothes take on a sombre mood – winter can be depressing after all and this culminates into a down pour of rain coupled with transparent raincoats to close the show.
Canali, fall/winter 2011-2012
Suits, suits and more suits! Canali’s fall/winter 2011-2012 collection addresses the dapper man with an ounce of preppiness in him. Grey is also dominant in the collection’s colour palette which is a nice change from traditional dark colours, such as black and navy blue. However, the bright pop of colour in the latter half of the collection is a nice surprise with yellows, greens and blues.
