The L’Officiel Hommes Germany Spring 2012 edition is a sunny sartorial look at the coming menswear styles. Editor in Chief Lale Aktay outfitted the shoot with a primary-hued, athletic look. The ensembles are polished and tailored, but maintain a casual edge and relaxed vibe. Preppy styles and traditional silhouettes are combined with contemporary details, such as studded collars and monotonous yellow oxfords. The sharp pieces hail from Prada, Burberry Prorsum and the Calvin Klein Collection.
Lensed by Errikos Andreou, the shoot focuses on the color splash and the youthful enthusiasm. Model Alexander Laible exhibits the clothing with an effortless gentlemanly air, alluring the fashion-savvy. Each shot shows the wearability of the high-fashion pieces.
