Belstaff Pre-Fall 2013

[Stereo_Flo]

For his first pre-fall collection for Belstaff, chief creative officer Martin Cooper remained respectful to the brand’s outerwear heritage but was not “beholden to it,” he said. Thus there were several great coats with an urban, almost utilitarian touch, i.e., a chic beige bonded wool one with graphic leather inserts, which Cooper showed with a tie blouse and leather pants to reinforce a play between masculine and feminine sensibilities. The designer also ventured into pattern via a plum camouflage used on a jacquard coat and as a print on blouses, while a laminated knit added a cool textural feel to a sweater.

I see many great pieces!
But can someone illuminate me on who Martin Cooper is? I thought Belstaff was designed by someone else.

^He used to design for Burberry and has been the creative director at Belstaff for 3 (?) seasons now.

Love what he does for this brand, all his collections for Belstaff have been really nice. I like all the leather and the clean cuts but am not much of a fan of the down jackets and the fur. Bur definitely lots of great and very wearable pieces here.

Very sleek; I like it. That red dress and boots outfit looks so easy to wear.

 

[GreatOrion]

A great collection! Really don't know which piece I won't wear!

Oh f*ck. Another wonderful menswear collection from Belstaff

Yeah, I want everything too

 

[TheItGirl]

This. Is. Amazing. I can clearly see the Burberry influence (quality-wise) but everything looks great, fresh and new. And definitely Italian.

What happened? Belstaff used to make great men's leather motorcycle jackets; these are abominable, atrocious, almost emetic.
