Sculptural Collars F/W 08.09

^ It can't hurt to post them

At the very least they'll just be a more subdued take on the trend.

True true. The detail is hard to see because it's such a black black.

^ I was actually going to post that first one yesterday, but then I wound up forgetting to.

Thanks for bringing them in AR!

And I only wish I could see the detail more clearly ,I checked on style.com but the photos weren't much better.

Actually, I think these collars are a bit too outlandish and a bit too extreme in size. I don't vehemently hate these collars, but I think these huge collars are just a bit too much. They are more reserved for fashion models and any art models. Some of the larger collars seem more like a huge scarf attached to the jackets and coats. The look acheives an artistic look. I probably wouldn't wear extremely large collars if I were a lady. I'd wear tops and jackets/coats with more subtle collars. These are just a bit too much for me.

A great built-up collar is always a selling point in a coat for me it gives me a sense of protection

Great Givenchy addition

I'm really loving this trend, I wish there were more options for men in this vein.

A big, upturned collar masking half the face, it's so James Dean!

I know the subject matter is about sculptural collars, but I like the harem-style pants worn in the first picture of John Galliano (Post #16). I also like the shoes that model is wearing. These collars seem a bit too extreme for me. The right kinds of huge collars, however, can make for an exceptional look. I have most enjoyed the subtlety of the Calvin Klein design (Post #1). Something a lot less subtle, yet stylish, is the Antonio Marras design from Post #26 (second picture). It is a very weird style for my tastes. Done right, I like it.

this trend is amazing, its so... protective.

*Sigh* Some of them might not be exactly sculptural though...

this theme !! thank you Spike

i like also that it's practical
covering the face, back of head and neck is integral to the weather here
the biting cold winds ...
and sometimes with rain spray

Oo wonderful the Bruno Pieters ones they're almost like neck ruffs. There is definitely a protective element here like the trend for big hoods too. I like the almost barrier style at Margiela.

 

[ApertureRomance]

Emilio De La Morena had a few. Less stiff but still good inspiration !

I like the fitted , refined collar combined with the ruff.

Sigh...I am falling more in love with Rajesh Pratap Singh. I think the collar can shape the whole outfit. It certainly does give off the protective feel.

I hadn't seen the Sophia Kokosalaki...very cool and somewhat uncharacteristic of her.
Great trend, volume on the neck always looks good! I like it best at Jil Sander, the shapes and the way the fabric falls seems so organic and natural.

I have this Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket with a sculptural collar which I love

Saw a great example of that James Dean look this morning while walking to work at 6.45am it put a smile on my face
