Belgian's finest: 1. Les Hommes

Behold the new collection F/W 2012-2013 of Les Hommes, designed by Tom Notte and Bart Vandebosch. Men Trend totally fell in love with these looks!

The set of the show looked so beautiful, we really hope to see a fashion show of this A-list Belgian brand in the future.
The leitmotifs for this collection are: genuine, masculine and chic.

You can see a feel for elegance throughout, for dressing up. There are really unique pieces like a classic bomber-jacket cut in python and camel-hair. They started in Peru to get their inspiration, but it is an abstract idea of South America that permeates the collection, seeping into the clothing through a rich burnt palette of ochre, jade, merlot and velvety almost-black. Men Trend noticed that color combinations are striking: anthracite against camel, deep red against silver-grey. This leaded the designers to the abstract artist Peter Halley, whose geometric work inspired color-blocked sweaters and suiting.
The accessories underline the idea of gentlemanly chic. Shoes fuse heavy walking-boots, brogues and Oxfords – a wardrobe of male footwear that relies on eternal style, rather than fashion for its impact. Thick-soled, they form an empathic conclusion to a dramatic silhouette.
There is not one piece of this collection that we dislike. Every look is a sight for sore eyes! If we could, we would buy multiple pieces to wear on a daily basis. We’ve been fans since day one because Les Hommes is one of those brands that can pull off an extravagant, architectural style but still have that contemporary classiness every men’s outfit needs. If you want to buy some Les Hommes, you definitely have our approval!

Here are some of our favorite looks!
