Jil Sander Fall Winter 2010 Mens Shoes And Bags

Chunky shoes seems to dominate the mens collections for next Fall Winter 2010. Tough, utilitarian styles are major influences in many menswear brands. So naturally military themes become abundant. Being a minimalist brand, Jil Sander did their interpretation of tough luxe in a subdued way, sending out thick sole lace-ups with hammered impression detailing. Subtle but distinctive.

Bags are cleansed yet again of any frivolous ornamentation, retaining only elegant shapes with pure lines. I love the use of texture leather to give more dimension to the visual appeal. There seems to be a laptop/folio case that is catching my interest. It will make a handsome leather folio to match up some sleek winter looks.
