The laid back summery beach side Saturday morning stroll marked Trussardi’s latest Spring Summer 2013 collection.

The loose silhouettes in earthy tones ruled most of the collection featuring double breasted jackets, waistcoats, polo tees, loose linen shirts with pockets at the flank, zippers, shorts and pants with jail stripes. The color palette ranged from neutral hues of green, brown grey and blue to yellow.

The accessories came in the form of leather duffle bags, suitcases, totes, hats, scarves and loafers.

The monochromatic minimalist assortment of simple unisex designs ruled Spring Summer 2013 menswear collection of Prada.

The collection featured round-neck tees and polos with contrasting detailing on hems; lightweight long coats; jackets with detailing; color blocked shirts; and pants with contrasting stripes predominantly. The color palette was comprised of green, burgundy, blue, white and black.

The range was accessorized by sandals, square shaped leather bags and headbands, all given a sporty finish.

Evoking the futuristic and anachronistic punk world of 1980s, the Diesel Black Gold unveiled its latest Spring Summer 2013 menswear collection.

Reinterpreting it with a fresh approach for todays’ men with a rock chic attitude, the collection sees masculinity tailoring mingling with military and mechanical references. A play with details, proportions and high-waisted silhouettes define the collection.

Steampunk inspiration is accented with several strong technological and functional elements like jewellery buttons, metallic lace eyewear, bold zips, mechanical flowers, embroidery in tailored suiting and classic shirts. The use of fabrics like leather, suede, satin, denim jacquard and wool screams of eclecticism.

The colour palette is a playful melange of black navy and different shades of white, exploring the indigo tones, with clashes of intense pop-up colours – red, green, bright mustard, yellow and electric blue.

High on unconventional quotient Mugler came up with its aquatic themed Spring Summer 2013 menswear collection.

The collection featured well cut jackets with structured shoulders being worn with cutout tops, along with cropped to long jackets, zippered shorts and pleated pants. The use of materials like leather came alive on aquatic colors like oyster, sand and coral.

The highlights of the collection are tunic like tops, cutout pieces, printed shoes and paly of pleats, pockets and stripes across the range.

Crayola Cosmetics The arts and crafts products maker Crayola of late launched a set of eight bright hued nail polishes.

A set of vibrant miniature nail polishes for both adults and children include two pink shades, two blue, canary yellow, purple, orange and bright red with names like cotton candy and Crayola Cosmetics robbin’s egg blue, offering a glittery finish.

Apart from nail paints, the brand has also come up with shiny lip gloss range in pink and purple, along with temporary hair dye in three vibrant shades.

The fourth edition of the Tarun Tahiliani Couture Exposition, running from July 25 to July 28, 2012 at DLF Emporio in New Delhi, and August 6 to August 7, 2012 at Mehboob Studio in Mumbai, will see the unveiling of the ‘Jewel Box,’ an edgy set made entirely of glass featuring the latest offerings from the Tarun Tahiliani bridal couture collection.

Bringing a culturally rooted, yet highly contemporary sensibility to the time honored wedding ritual, the Exposition will share the season’s newest trends, exquisite designs and jewel colors in bridal and occasion wear.Whimsical motifs and sensational colors call out to the grandeur of our past with the renewed energy of revivalist craft and contemporary construction.

Speaking about the exposition, Tarun Tahiliani said, “The blush of a bride as an emotion coupled with our incredible tradition of embellishment as the highest offering creates some of the most poignant images of people’s lives. How does one balance history, tradition, and the finest workmanship and yet have the most contemporary fit and make? This defines Tarun Tahiliani Couture.”

The runway of Milan of late saw Dolce & Gabbana presenting its eclectic Spring Summer 2013 menswear collection with colors and prints galore.

The collection exuding a laid back summery vibe featured men in shorts, from high-waisted pleated to frescoed ones. The Renaissance frescoes seen on the Venetian churches came alive on shirts and jackets creating a kaleidoscopic sight.

Apart from these Renaissance motifs, the horizontal stripes remained a permanent detail till the end of the show. From shorts to shirts to simple tees, the stripes appeared in combinations of orange, blue, white and red.

Romancing with the atmosphere of open spaces conjuring up a sensation of freedom, Canali unveils its latest Spring Summer 2013 menswear collection.

The collection features an assortment of garments in super light cotton and silk, with sharp lines but impalpable colors like yellow, sky blue, water, rose pink and wisteria featured in loosely flowing t-shirts.

The classic Hollywood style also makes inroads to this collection featuring dress styles of so many classic and film noir movies that wrote the history of American cinema in 50s and 60s.

From that period, for its unlined or semi-lined jackets, the collection borrows rounded peak lapels, constructed but soft shoulders, rounded breast pockets in pure tailor made style, and a contoured cut with fitted waist, presented in both single-breasted models with peak lapels and six-button double-breasted versions.

Classic graphical pinstripes have become light linen fabrics, accessories are light and understated, and the trenches have been transformed into dust coats. Also making a runway appearance is Canali’s signature Kei jacket, which demonstrates its versatility again and again, playfully choosing strong colours, striking colour combinations and an elegance that is always somewhat outspoken to faithfully reproduce the style of a city that seems like one big stage.
