“Csquared Menswear is South Africa's most
cutting-edge formal wear brand, and they proudly showcased their latest
collection at this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Joburg on evening of 9th March 2012. The show and after party also marked
Csquared’s 10 year anniversary by celebrating the decade of style, elegance and
attitude that the brand has brought to menswear in South Africa.
The Csquared winter collection 2011/12 show exhibited luxury and
kingsmanship tailoring, while evoking the charm of nostalgia by paying homage
to the artistic construction of the royal uniform.
The collection’s theme was “Russian Revolution” and was inspired
by the history and stylized opulence of the Royal Russian family. The
collection focused on suiting in rich and moody jewel-toned colors made in an
array of high-quality luxe and wearable fabrics. There were quirky checked
shirts, statement herringbone pieces with a modern edge and structured jackets with
detailed epaulettes. Luxurious fabrics are seen in each & every item, from
neutral & classic grey to rich plum & emerald jackets
The Cut & Silhouette:
Csquared’s A/W 2012 collection focused on sharply cut double-breasted
jackets and low buttoning 2-button suits, with strong shoulder lines balanced
with fluid pant shapes.
Styling:
Fine 100% cotton shirts and woven tailored pants provided casually
styled pieces, while
monotone shirts paired with contrasting color bow ties display the
trend of “Neutral Blocking”. Outerwear has a laidback smart-casual feel with
the fit of Csquared traditional tailoring being the shining star.
Non-traditional pattern pairings of herringbone waistcoat and checked shirts brings
a chic quirky look together. Our burnished leather trimmed blazer jacket with
high sheen leather collar-lapel and elbow patch provides our clients with one
of the hottest must have items this winter.
Color:
Jewel-bright teals and petrol blues teamed with deep bottle green,
violet and vivid sapphire, blues contrasted with warm tobacco browns, espresso
and camel, black and charcoal grey.”

I need that Dolce and Gabbana-esque sequined
blazer in my life guys! I had a full on conversation with it whilst teasingly pranced up and down the runway before my eyes. Stellar work. Love Love Loved, the Pyjama look ensemble even more!
