In his latest showing of the Josep Abril Fall/Winter 2012 collection, the designer offers up chic, sophisticated apparel in the form of monochromatic formal wear and more casual pieces. Slender silhouettes combined with avant-garde tailoring and longer cuts give this collection a modern feel, while swirl-patterned garments, blue and teal plaid, and draping details are all key elements in this striking lineup.
Laddered sweaters, slouchy, pinstripe suits and softer fabrics make this winter collection one of the most sophisticated yet to debut this season. And, although the collection embraces more androgynous styles, like a wool, plaid skirt, it still manages to maintain a sense of masculinity, making the Josep Abril Fall/Winter 2012 collection not only an eye-catching one, but also wearable as well.
