I’m back from Paris, with a little detour to the Finnish Lapland to spend the remainder of my summer holidays escaping the city life. Now, well rested after the craziness of the city of love and lights, I start my reports from the Paris men’s fashion week by presenting first the Julius S/S2012 collection. Though this collection, simply named “[edge;]“, is a bit of a repeat of what Julius does best (fitted leather jackets, cargo pants, elongated shapes, and sturdy footwear), there were a few details that made my heart skip a beat when the models entered the runway; First and foremost, adding a few femmes to stir things up was a clever choice from the designer Tatsuro Horikawa’s team, making me fall in love with the unisex approach of the season (which was inspired by the architecture of Zaha Hadid by the way). Second thing that caught my interest was the rather dark color scheme, with only touches of blue, white and gray. Whilst this collection might have not been the strongest one from Julius, it is indeed refreshing that there is no need to go all “tutti frutti” just because it’s summer. For me, the aforementioned with a special emphasis on that little strappy leather topoozing sex appeal, really made this collection. You can probably already guess that it, and some other items will be on my spring/summer shopping list – if and when they become available. Overall, good job team Horikawa!
