While he is not very well known (yet!), Japanese designer Tatsuro Horikawa launched Julius 2001 in Tokyo and has since gathered a devoted cult following, the same followers as Rick Owens‘ hard-edginess and Ann Demeulemeester’s romanticism. For the Fall/Winter 2010 collection, Julius decided to go much darker than their previous collection, with skin-tight-skin-baring silhouettes that do not even make you think of winter, it is a hard collection, most definitely not for the faint of heart.
The brilliance of Rick Owens is once again projected in his latest Fall/Winter 2010 men collection.

Featuring an array of funnel collars, hints of fur in the usual colours, and python/reptile skin boots and heels.
We have always been dedicated to showcasing luxury brands and the inspiring stories of their craftsmanship, such as Vertu and their unique phones, Piaget and their magnificent jewelery or Belvedere and its world first premium vodka.

For his men’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection, his choice was the suit. Vintage looking suits in various fabrics and in degrees of blues,grays and chocolate browns (in trend for Fall/Winter 2010), topped with an array of parkas and coats.

This is definitely one of our very favorite collections for the Fall/Winter 2010 men collections.
