Karl Lagerfeld Christmas ideas for the boyf

I was lucky enough to attend the Karl Lagerfeld breakfast this morning, where in which, I was able to view the current A/W '12 collection and a little preview of the what's to come next season. So for starters, I thought I would share with you the menswear collection. Just in time for the festive period, these beautiful items would make idyllic christmas presents for your other half.

The first KARL LAGERFELD Paris collection for men instantly proclaims its identity with high collars, white shirts, slim trousers and fitted jackets for a neat, smart look. Everything is in its rightful place here: the military greatcoat, the suit with a line of topstitching right across the top, the sweater lined with a faux shirt, the merino cardigan with the raw-edge front panel. Essential pieces underscore the look: a pea coat with double flap pockets placed back to back, aged and distressed denim with half a tuxedo stripe in metallic grey, a shirt warmed up with a removable knitted collar or striped with a pleated bib and sculpted like marquetry, trousers in lacquered wool or fastened with a belt bearing chunky rivets.

A line of press studs provides a unifying motif, extending across a sweater and a wool jacket, over a suede shirt and the hips of slim trousers. This bold detailing is mirrored in the double pockets on the women’s skirts and shirts.

As with the zip-up version for women, miniature KL logos are aligned on a fine cardigan, while the leather and knitted jacket in the women’s collection is matching with a mottled wool jacket with a chunky knitted front for men. 

This highly charged look injects a daring, youthful energy into a fiercely elegant collection.

I personally feel like accessories are the way to go this christmas. Traditionally your faced with a amount of socks filling your stockings, but why not fill your loved ones with these below item?
