The Iceberg Fall Winter 2012 menswear collection, presented at Milan Fashion Week, is a charming line of proper yet playful tailoring and accessories. The mixture of neutrals and bright accent colors is played off Victorian-style touches such as suspenders and bowler hats.
The combination of textures in the Iceberg Fall Winter 2012 menswear line is also notable, with wool, suede, leather and more. The looks are also a great combination of formal and casual wear, with the serious elements of the suit often complemented by knitwear and loose-fitting jackets. In addition to a variety of textures and fun color-blocked shades, the collection also included several different patterns, from plaid to stripes and even a little bit of sparkle in one blue coat.
