Lane Crawford presents four new menswear brands for Spring/Summer 2012.
ALEXANDER WANG
New York’s Alexander Wang, who dropped out of Parsons The New School for Design in his sophomore year to launch his debut women’s collection in 2007, is synonymous with downtown style, fresh edge and inspired tailoring. For Spring/Summer 2012, urban sportswear pieces are the building blocks of his casual-chic collection.
FOR: The up-to-date fashion guy who can carry off sportif cool.
Available at ifc mall store, Canton Road store, Hong Kong.
ANN DEMEULEMEESTER
A highly revered alumnus of the Antwerp Royal Academy, Belgium’s Ann Demeulemeester has been a decades-long master of the avant-garde and deconstructivist style. This season, her palette runs from dusty browns to beaten whites and solid black, and her layered style melds medieval and Victorian influences — where fitted waistcoats and rolled-up shirt sleeves are key.
FOR: The modern purveyor of the new dandy and dark romanticism.
Available at ifc mall store, Hong Kong & Seasons Place store, Beijing.
DAMIR DOMA
Launched in 2006, Damir Doma’s poetic silhouettes are represented by draped and flowing volumes, intricate textural play and soft-tailoring style. For Spring/Summer 2012, the dress code requires shirts to be left tucked out, ties to be half loose, and trousers to be rolled up and tucked into boots or worn with shoes sans socks.
FOR: The creative, bohemian, experimental and unconventional.
Available at ifc mall store, Hong Kong.
PIERRE BALMAIN
The latest season at Pierre Balmain was inspired by downtown cool, a rock sensibility and jet-setting lifestyle. Offering an easy, smart mix of laidback-luxe wardrobe staples — that include must-have leather, blazer, jeans and T-shirt pieces — you’ll find this earnest rock-star vibe irresistible.
FOR: Downtown hipsters who just “rock.”
Available at ifc mall, Canton Road store, Hong Kong.
