Paolo Pecora Milano – Fall/Winter 2009
Paola Picaro’s FW 09/10 Lookbook brings a little bit of realism back to fashion–the kind that’s been missing, even in “these economic times.” While the clothes speak for themselves with sturdy wools, rich tweeds, and toasty layering, it’s refreshing to see them presented in an everyday setting: the coffee shop. The collection, and the setting, set a mood that isn’t grand or cutting edge, but attainable and on point–giving the overall presentation a dash of Ralph Lauren-esque maturity.

Topman Ltd. Autumn/Winter 2009 Lookbook
One thing to give to Topman: the brand is consistent. Consistent in its evolution. While the new Topman Ltd. Collection’s AW ‘09 Lookbook “(emphasizes) design, detail, fabric, and finish”, the line is much like other Topman offerings, in that it has classic pieces in modern fits, as well as pieces that would be considered perhaps a bit too interesting to wear to the office. In the classic pieces category: a beautiful navy shawl collar sweater-blazer, a gray formal wool overcoat, and classic men’s trousers. In the former category: a black pin-dot dress shirt, puffy blue bow tie, and plum (with cream striping) blazer. In its way, Topman delivers splendidly on its consistency, for depending on one’s lifestyle (and workplace) the collection offers something for you. Thus, something for everyone. Available at Topshop.

Now a more contemporary brand, designers Christian Lippich and Ronnie McDonald have helped to draw the fine line between casual and formal wear with their newest lineup. Placing an emphasis on bright colours and fitted aesthetics, their creative pieces such as a shawl neck sweater and a cropped leather jacket are as equally stylish as their sleek, chic suits.

McQ by Alexander McQueen – Fall 2009 Lookbook
McQ by Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2009 lookbook is serious fashion that doesn’t take itself too seriously. McQueen has a deft hand at transforming otherwise basics into bold must have garments and for Fall 2009 the label tries to throw a little tongue in cheek humor in the mix as well. The model overuses the ankles turned inward Sid Vicious pose a little bit but we get the gist. Punk rock rebellion at the art school is the order of the day. A few cool motorcycle cut jackets, a checkered blazer with matching belt, and a ridiculous parka make this a collection worth noting this year.
