Kitsuné Autumn/Winter 2012 collection

More Autumn/Winter 2012 for your perusal today with a look at Kitsuné’s upcoming collection. This latest range is said to be a modern reinterpretation of the now famous British Tweed Run, but as you’d expect it’s all done with a familiar French twist.

It’s a range the French label say is suitable for either work or leisure. Indeed the image of a chic man riding his bicycle in the city, whilst wearing a traditional outfit is the reference Maison Kitsuné designer Masaya Kuroki’s drew upon whilst putting the collection together. With such inspiration it’s no surprise to see many formal items in wool, tweed and heavyweight cotton featuring.

Once again there’s a continuation of their patch pocket blazer – a fantastic piece, especially in it’s Autumn/Winter guise of checked herringbone tweed (there’s also a slightly different version which makes up the top half of a suit). Other outerwear pieces include a mac, brushed cotton overshirts and there’s also a really nice take on the hooded mountain parka.

Knitwear is always a strong point of the label and this season sees a mix of styles from fine knit cardigans, to chunky cable knit crew necks and Fairisle jumpers (and socks). Stripes and checks featuring heavily on the shirting and there’s chinos aplenty  – which as the images show, the rolled hem’s not going anywhere just yet.

The cycling reference is seen throughout with jerseys, caps and cycling gloves featuring in many of the images but at the same time it does feel slightly superfluous to what is another lovely range of well thought out smart/casual garments. One thing that’s not in doubt is the care and attention that goes into this labels garments – which in turn makes for a durable and timeless product.
