What do you get when you put a modernistic spin on classic pieces that exude a meritable homage to the oh-so-cool James Dean and old Hollywood sophistication? Your answer: Tim Labenda’s lookbook for his AW13 collection, “Nachtwandler.” You are served with all the finesse and charm you desire, brimming with attitude. For the man who is aware and original, who has a destiny and lives with purpose, it seems as though each piece has a history to it, a story to tell through the construction, texture, and color. Chock full of chunky knits, patterned button ups, and fur-trimmed collars and outerwear, this collection takes you through the motions of a charismatic, established man with a plan in mind that never ceases even when asleep. The wide leg trousers that taper off to a narrower fit at the ankle and the tenacious black trench coat are prominent, distinctive pieces, both of which leave a lasting mark. Whereas most Autumn/Winter collections go for dark, muted tones- blacks, grays, burgundys, etc.- Labenda has opted to go a different direction with sapphire blues and shades of rust. Given the gloomier season, he has managed to still give us pops of color. “Nachtwandler” has succeeded in presenting the ferocity of style in menswear without ever forgetting the tenderness of a true gentleman.
