Vintage Military Inspiration for Elie Tahari Men’s Fall 2011 Collection

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

A striped vintage military blanket was the main piece of inspiration for the Elie Tahari Men’s Fall 2011 line, a collection full of handsome fabrications, exceptional details and a masculine, neutral color palette. Outerwear is a key element, featuring coats with removable linings and leather design details. Updated military influence comes through in contrasting stripes, mandarin collars and brass hardware. Luxurious fabrics like cashmere and ultra-soft wool look warm and sophisticated. The navy blue wall surrounding the model presentation had a burnt orange stripe painted across, a nod to the blanket of first inspiration. Suiting is clean and classic, the perfect essentials for any man wanting to look polished.

How To Wear Wide-Leg Pants Without Swimming in Fabric

Wearing wide-leg pants can be tricky, especially if you’re not 5’10″. But fear not, everyone can wear this timeless trouser silhouette if done correctly. If you only remember one rule after reading this post, keep in mind that fit is everything. Pants should be fitted through the waist and hips before expanding into wide-legged splendor. Start small and work your way to bigger flares, but don’t overdo it – you’re trying to look chic, not like a circus extra who forgot her stilts.

Terry Richardson- oh how I love your crude and mischievous ways. But I also like when you shoot fashion advertisements and editorials because they always look da-bomb-diggity. He was the perfect match for Elie Tahari’s latest collection, which was full of funky pieces and bright colors. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this campaign come to the surface.

NY Fashion Week: Elie Tahari

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

So Elie is not indie but this is a really great collection. Titled “Urban Paradise,” this collection embodies just that. There are tons of fun prints, and more off the shoulder looks and one piece outfits. The designs are fresh, young, and very wearable.
