Emmanuel, MFW 2011

Day 3 of Men's Fashion Week marked Emmanuel's Fall/Winter 2011 collection debut in Asia, and Fir and myself were lucky enough to be able to attend the show. Emmanuel's collection did not disappoint as it ended MFW’s Day 3 with much needed drama. The collection, aptly titled 'The Illusionist', was sophisticated, seductive and mysterious, reminiscent of magicians of the past.

The collection paid much attention to luxurious fabrics and sharp bespoke tailoring. Fur-trimmed sleeves, chequered velvet elements on suits and a brocade blazer were just some of the things that were incorporated into the classic suit. The models looked suave and elegant in the collection's evening wear which featured cape-lets, vertical stripes that elongated the form and shirts with interesting details.

My favorite look of the night was a toss up between jackets that had cinched waists with tuxedo belts and a gorgeous gold brocade suit.

I loved the unconventional take on the suit. Emmanuel was a great show that lived up to the hype, and definitely a surreal experience for our first ever fashion show.

P.S. Thanks Sheena for the tickets. Much love.
