Brazilian couturier Atelier Gustavolins brought 6 delicate pieces from his collection on stage during Paris Fashion Week 2013. The collection focus mainly on draped coats that are slightly over sized completed with slim fit pants & beautiful accessories!  I'm officially in love with his collection again!

I first witnessed his magic when i attended French Couture Week 2013 hosted by Fide Fashion Weeks and was blown off by his awe-inspiring collection! It was a fruitful event as he was one of the few designer who also presented menswear! Below are some of the exquisite pieces presented.

Dior Homme Fall / Winter Collection 2013

With the departure of Hedi Slimane in 2007, Kris Van Assche took over Dior Homme and implemented a more formal and minimal style.Till today, Kris Van Assche stayed firm to that vision which can be clearly reflected in his collection for FW13. The collection focuses on creating clean silhouettes with nothing too fancy but with great workmanship.   Models who are donned in classics are spotted with belts worn a little 'high-waisted' outside their coats. 

With just a circle and triangle, an interesting symmetrical shape is formed which are printed on shirts and coats. This gives the classic pieces a slight touch, yet without destroying the structure! Wise move!

I'm always intrigued by what the faddy Canadian twins Dean and Dan Caten have for us on the runway! I remember vividly that last season's they brought the classroom on stage! Aren't they innovative?!

Kudos to Dean and Dan for creating a perfect fashion marriage between college and military styles! The 2 military inspired pieces above caught my attention the most among the bunch! Nevertheless, DSQUARED2's coveted style can still be seen on the runway!

One of the most anticipated fashion show for me at Milan Fashion Week 2013 has got to be Prada! No doubt these collection with a wide spectrum of colors are indeed part of Prada's FW2013 collection. Who says colors are only restricted to Spring/Summer? Prada just proved otherwise on the runway last night at Milan Fashion Week!

Models on the runway are spotted with chunky brogues of different colors and tone! An evolvement of the classics?

Models are also seen wearing pants that are cropped at the the ankle. Try it!
