Salvatore Ferragamo Men's Spring/Summer 2012

Ever walk by a some poor schlub in the summer wearing a dark wool suit, and simply cringe upon thinking how hot and uncomfortable he must be? It's therefore refreshing to see a spring/summer collection that's actually weather-appropriate.  Although by no means unique (e.g., YSL), the Ferragamo design team expand the typical male silhouette, but not to absurd proportions (e.g., Junya Watanabe). The collection has a very "organic" feel to it, with an array of light earth tones, and loose woven fabrics, all the way down to the Huckleberry Finn-ish straw hat.
Mint julep, anyone?

Salvatore Ferragamo, Fall/Winter 2012 Men's collection

So far, this is my favorite collection this season. Maybe it's because the lighter beiges tones look so elegant together (but then again, there are some unconventional colours too, such as plum and oatmeal teal).

Or maybe it's because the jackets are perfectly fitted

 Actually, I think it's because the guys are wearing their fedoras so sharply.

I cant stand dorky trilbys (short brimmed fedoras), especially when tilted up:

The name of the head designer is Massimiliano Giornetti. What great name. And a pretty good designer too. I'm partial to the retro gangster element in this collection.

p.s. check out those 2-button double-breasted suits that are really popular in the spring/summer 2010 collections.
