FW F/W 08: Slim Shapes

Fitted is the word on this second day of F/W 08. Here's the breakdown:

Band of Outsider: is giving the American frat boy look a run for its money. Tight jackets in basic tones. Narrow pants with slim silhouette. Ties, bow-ties, belts with simple clean cut hair.

Obedient Sons: is telling a new story in their family saga. Despite a rough period, the boys have grown up and gone to college (say Vassar College or Sarah Lawrence). Sure, there are drunken and angst-filled nights but the guys are growing up and beginning to realize that jeans and t-shirts just aren't going to cut it with that smart and charming girl who works in the art history library.

Patrik Ervell: is doing the Scandinavian take on American men. Something new, somethings in the air for this new batch of men. The forms are cleaner, leaving all the fuss of layers and layers behind. Simplicity is a focus here. So is the growth of the American man. He's seen a bit of the world. This new guy, he isn't afraid to incorporate a bit of gold glitz into his wardrobe.
