Michael Williams of ACL was in Florence for this month’s Pitti Immagine Uomo and the man definitely made his rounds. Here, he gives us a closer look at Lubiam’s L.B.M. 1911 line and their amazing soft shouldered sportcoats. The pieces will be offered up in various shades of blue as well as a few other key finishes. MW also gives us a look at the main Lubiam collection that’s filled with formal suiting and the sort.
Italian label Camo had a great presentation on day 2 of Pitti as they decided to dress a few guys in Camo, set up a table, and let them enjoy some wine and some card games. Beyond the creative approach, the product for Spring 2012 is looking great, with plenty of well-fitting suits and the like. (via Highsnobiety)
Here’s another solid lineup from Church’s. This time around, they’ve delivered a S/S 2012 collection that covers an array of styles and colorways. The UK shoemaker has been doing it proper for so long and their upcoming product shows the brand’s ability to keep with the times by offering pieces that will never go out of style.
From Pitti 2011 comes this in-depth look at Adam Kimmel’s forthcoming collaboration with Carhartt. The collection launches this coming fall for F/W 2011 seasons and these looks give us a glimpse into what the duo will offer up for next spring. “The upcoming SS12 line plays mostly with black, beige and of course the signature blue tones of the New York designer. Made up of t-shirts, crewneck sweaters, jackets, blazers, as well as some mesh caps, it would not be a Kimmel collection without a couple of reversible pieces as well. ” (via highsnobiety)
Surely the highlight of this year’s Pitti Uomo, Scott Sternberg and Co. at Band of Outsiders really swung for the fences with their Spring/Summer 2012 presentation as they payed homage to West Side Story. The presentation was Broadway-esque with modern American clothing featured on models and real dancers. The gear itself looked amazing as well as we’ll be in for a treat come next spring. There’s plenty of lightweight cottons being utilized throughout the line and the outerwear and suiting are definitely atop the list of recipients.
If you thought McNasty was going to be slowing down anytime soon, think again. The famed designer’s Spring 2012 collection is on display this week at Pitti and there’s a lot to anticipate. The footwear is looking promising once again with a full range of styles being offered including a dark suede brogue that sits atop a wooden sole and Goodyear construction. Some of the styles come with some choice words engraved on the bottom of the shoe (see image below).
Haversack has released shots from its S/S 2012 lookbook ahead of the Pitti Uomo preview, but we’re sure that will only increase the floods of people checking out the Japanese label’s goods in person. The styling of the pieces is very forward as we’re seeing slim-fitting blazers with relaxed trousers but the showcased product is still tremendous. (via WATM)
GQ caught up with GANT Rugger head designer Christopher Bastin at this year’s Pitti Uomo show in Florence, Italy. When describes the trend for Spring/Summer 2012 as elegent, preppy and American, but with Japanese influences. Check out the video below for a look at the collection for next year.
