Long, slender styles and avant-garde tailoring were hallmark features of the new Siki Im Fall/Winter 2012 collection that was recently presented at New York Fashion Week. The collection was made up of casual wear and suited separates that also had sportswear references.
Monochromatic and deep red pieces were seen on the runway of this collection along with baggier suits, long sweaters, collarless blazers and some unusual button-ups with popcorn prints. The sporty details included hairbands, drawstringed shirts, sweater tanks and track trousers. My favorite look in this lineup was a black, wool overcoat with a striking red hood. So if you're looking for a collection that will have you feeling inspired for some winter sports come next season, then the Siki Im Fall/Winter 2012 line may have what you've been seeking.
