Calvin Klein
While the bulk of the menswear shows this season have veered on the feminine side, not so with Calvin Klein’s Fall 2014 collection. Silhouettes tended to be oversized, but wearable (something else that set the collection apart from most others), but there was still an element of surprise. Namely creative director Italo Zucchelli had some of his models walking the runway wearing sweatshirts with the words of some of the brand’s most well known fragranced emblazoned on them – including “Eternity” and “Obsession.” Puffer jackets and classic suits rounded out the collection.

Gucci
Silhouettes were trim this season at Gucci giving a feminine bend to a number of the looks; fittingly, man bags accompanied select looks. Frida Giannini also opted to work in light shades mixing dark neutrals – namely black – with pastels. Slim suits and leather paneled outerwear/tops were among the season’s standouts.

Moncler Gamme Bleu
Leave it to Thom Browne to throw a wrench in the mix and show womenswear alongside his menswear collection. No matter the looks, it was an argyle love fest for Fall 2014. While head-to-toe argyle may be far from wearable especially when you factor in oversized silhouettes, knee socks, conspicuous footwear (think bold red, white and blue stripes), and lots of layering, when picked apart, there will be key pieces men can add to their wardrobe for a fashion-forward addition to their look.

Prada
Miuccia Prada showed select Pre-Fall womenswear looks to complement her menswear collection, which this season had touches of Seventies flare. A rusty palette fashioned into clashing solids or monochromatic separates, mostly in fitted silhouettes, made for a wearable collection heavy on sportswear.

Versace
Cowboy boots, leather pants, cowboy-themed embellishments on separates (think horseshoe and cactus appliques), a parade of bold patterns and endless sparkle, sheriff star/badge necklaces, under-exposing chaps, boldly colored neck ties and print suits made for a daring collection. Commercial this was not, but Donatella sure knows how to pick a theme and run with it.
