Rich textiles, stunning prints, patterns and embroideries that are inherently Malan Breton gave the collection the wow-factor that we have come to expect from the talented designer. Collection photos by Norman Ding for Fashion Social Network.

Billy Reid shines at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta

/

As if I could love Billy Reid more than I already do, I'm offered bourbon while shopping. Classy! AND look at the seating area [pictured above]... Billy Reid at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta is an experience for the senses for gentlemen [and ladies too.] There is a relaxed elegance about Billy Reid that is felt from the moment you enter the space and are greeted with a smile. The rustic wood floors, marble tops and brass fixtures balance nostalgia and modernity seamlessly, making the store very welcoming to all who enter.

Billy Reid at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta features menswear, womenswear, shoes and accessories. Billy Reid's style and aesthetic is classic with Southern influences. Always modern but not trendy with rich textures and customs prints. This CFDA menswear winner and CFDA Fashion Fund recipient pays close attention to detail which is evidenced and supported with superior tailoring. All these qualities are a part of what makes up the DNA of the brand.

The first look I was shown was a gorgeous, midnight blue, shawl collar tuxedo. It was tough to turn it down, but since the other show guests, including the Atlanta & Company host, were not in black-tie, I had to look away.  Of course that really wasn't a problem because there were so many amazing choices. I definitely wanted a blazer, so that was our starting point. From there we moved on to the shirt, bowtie and shoes. The shirt, which featured a custom-print, felt so good to the touch and the fit was impeccable. [My] overall intention was to look sharp and dapper - an easy task with Billy Reid. I sported a pocket square with the Billy Reid signature mark of black/gold stripes. Thank you to Casey, Harrison and Aaron for all their assistance and that shot of bourbon!

Robert Geller Fall 2016 Menswear

/

[I see] an 80's vibe in Robert Geller's Fall 2016 menswear collection - think 80's dressy with the silhouette of [some] of the trousers and in the cut of the short waisted jackets. BUT this is not what this collection is about. Robert Geller was inspired by a book from his childhood, The Grey Gentlemen, that featured mysterious men in gray suits and Geller used this as a point of departure for creativity this season. I know I always look mysterious when I cock my derby hat and sport leather half gloves. And speaking of accessories, the studded briefcases are a must-have! Interestingly enough, there really weren't many suits in the collection. Geller used book's story as in influence and not so referential. Geller gave us his interpretation through modern, fashion-forward looks. The coats are incredible, the fit, the style... Also, and to my surprise, the drawstring jumpsuit in the collection is pretty badass. I'm not a fan of jumpsuits, but this one is styled to perfection. The looks change a bit towards the end of the show as Geller's "character" evolves and embraces rich earth tones, velvets and satins.

Berlin Fashion Week: Porsche Design Fall / Winter 2016

Porsche Design Plans to Become Leading Premium Brand for Casual Elegance and Functionality in Men’s Fashion

The sports-lifestyle brand will show its new Fall/Winter 2016 Fashion Collection in Berlin. The focus will be on smart-casual, cool looks for the global business traveller. French-Canadian Pierre Costin becomes new Fashion Creative Director at Porsche Design.

Casual yet elegant designs for the global business traveller. With its new Fall/Winter Fashion Collection, Porsche Design is focusing on the needs of the modern man. At the same time, the brand Porsche Design Woman will offer creations for confident women, featuring masculine style elements and yet a wholly feminine look. “Sophistication” — outstanding quality and high value down to the smallest details; comfort, and cool, casual elegance — these are the main features of the new collection. Designed for people who want to relax on the plane, and then go straight to their meetings from the airport, remaining perfectly styled throughout. For those whose unobtrusive, smart-casual style demonstrates their confidence in all situations. Porsche Design intentionally combines formal elements with cooler, more casual style elements inspired from the world of sneakers.

A great example of this season's new style for Porsche Design can be found in the casual and distinctive Porsche Design “zip-out blazers”, which have easily-removable integrated light down elements, allowing flexible use across different climate zones.

Starting with the selection of materials and fabrics, right down to the ingenious details, new Fashion Creative Director Pierre Costin focusses on the technical, functional qualities of the design, thus underlining the position of Porsche Design as a leader in the men’s fashion casual premium segment. Eye-catchingly positioned colour details, and structural elements as subtle references the motor sport that is in the DNA of Porsche Design emphasise the modernity of the look. Apart from its striking visuals, the collection is characterised by the use of innovative fabrics and new technical workmanship to add special functional performance qualities; such as with the elegant, waterproof, reversible business coat, produced with the aid of laser cutting.
