We're back kiddas! Picking up where we left off, almost 2 weeks ago (Including our favorite pick, Agnes b; as our choice as the best menswear collection for Fall 2011). As we've stated previously, fashion week Fall 2011 is exploding everywhere left and right. So we have decided to cover and to inform all you dedicated and darling followers of ours with official coverage from the shows. Note: The picture selections you see are my picks exclusively. There is obviously much more in the collection itself. But as always, I only select the pieces that speak to me, the ones that make me feel something from an expressionist point of view.
Next up, Number Lab Men’s Fall 2011. According to fashion writer John Ortved,
"Call me Canadian (I am), but I’m probably going to love any collection that starts with a hockey scrimmage. Last season it was Bike Polo. This year designer Luis Fernandez had his guys suited up for some shinney, decked out in his Number Lab apparel. When the skates came off and the music dropped, that’s when it was really game on. "Fernandez has produced a vivid and well-structured collection, a look that is unapologetically sporty and fun, but still clean and European. Models came down the runway in chipper blue knits, clean cut jersey and, at one point, a grey two-button jacket with bold blue trim, but they were also sporting hockey sticks, goggles, and skis. It was as if the Swedish Winter Olympic team had descended on the West Village. You had to stop and stare, and you pointed and laughed with your friends, but you also kind of wished your boyfriend had that sweater. And those pants.
The success here is in Fernandez’s crystal-clear outlook. The designer knows what he wants for his customer and isn’t cowed by any trends or bywords. His looks work, and if you don’t want to take his word for it, there are five guys with skates and sticks who will be happy to show you."
