Steamy Gentlemen at Prada Fall 2012

Gentlemen, I understand I don't cater to your stylish tastes enough.  Ladies, you could all use some eye candy. Prada's Fall 2012 menswear collection takes care of both.  Celebrities like Emile Hirsch, Gary Oldman, Willem Defoe strutted the runway with chiseled male models.

The most recent men's runway from the Italian designer had darker, dapper styling than we are used to.  Breast pockets were adorned with steampunk-friendly spectacles, burnished metal embellishments and other trinkets.

The clothes mixed vintage patterns with pinstripes with a color palette friendly to those with a Gothic aesthetic.

Guys? Could you rock this collection?

Men's Fashion Paris - Rick Owens Spring 2011

Rick Owens jarred the weary fashion crowd awake by blasting a techno soundtrack at the start of his show. The thumping beat was a high contrast to the "monastic" theme of his recent menswear show. The runway was a bleak grey while smoke swirled around the models heads. The clothing did have a long and monastic silhouette for the most part. Edgy details like asymmetrical straps and zippers were seen a few times. Patent leather boots gave a fetish-like edge to the presentation.

Men's Fashion Paris - Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2011

Jean Paul Gaultier's recent fashion show for men drew from diverse influences. The long, flowing silhouettes were inspired by Moroccan djellabas. There were stark black shiny pieces with a corset theme. Austere paint-splattered pieces were also show with classically tailored separates.
