Inspired by Formula 1 racer Jackie Stewart and probably the Scooby Doo Gang, Trussardi's Fall collection was undeniably suave and smooth and very 70s, albeit slightly creepy with those handle bar moustaches. Umit Benan decided to relish in The Flying Scotsman's hey day and in turn created a look complete with Stewart's trademark accoutrements such as the ombre aviator sunglasses, the ubiquitous flatcap and tight fitting turtleneck sweaters. The colour swatch was also very contemporary with rich shades of chestnut, oxblood and fire engine red, and likewise with his fabric choices. Velvet, corduroy, suede and kidskin appeared in the form of sixteen ensembles. The silhouette was slim and tight fitting, but not without the signature feature of the decade, the bellbottom flare of the trousers. Funnily enough, despite the heavily influenced aesthetic of the era, Trussardi's 2012 Fall collection still finds itself within our current state of style. The pieces are wearable and with the tides of fashion continuously rolling backwards, the consistent wave of 'tribute' collections have finally come full circle in that, these clothes may as well be new and fresh. A vintage aesthetic together with modern textures and cut is what sustains not just fashion, but style also.
