I have been seeing quite a lot of fashion inspiration for women being pulled from supernatural sources and now, by the looks of the SADAK SS12 lookbook and collection, men are starting to follow suit. A dark and devious line, these are no Gandalf the Grey outfits. Instead, they have a more sinister presence as that portrayed by Gandalf's nemesis Saruman the White.
Full of black draping and layered looks, the SADAK SS12 collection also focuses a lot of various textures, which give these outfits some much needed dimension. I especially like the zipper detail on the pants, which also allow them to be opened up from straight-legged to an almost harem fit.
