In this recent showing of the new Francis Montesinos Fall/Winter 2012 collection, crochet-style sweaters, leather shirts with lace-inspired cutouts and crushed velvet pants all make an appearance in a sophisticated and luxurious line of apparel for men. The designer has masterfully mixed softer, more feminine details with the diverse collection of menswear to create something new and unseen on runways that is both elegant and refined, while still being rugged and even a bit edgy at the same time.
A printed pair of pants with a matching button-up shirt, which was inspired by international postage stamps, is paired with a black fur coat and makes for one of the collection's more unique looks. So if you're looking for a little more pizzazz than what other labels tend to offer, then the Francis Montesinos Fall/Winter 2012 collection is for you.
