The Iceberg Fall Winter 2012 menswear collection, presented at Milan Fashion Week, is a charming line of proper yet playful tailoring and accessories. The mixture of neutrals and bright accent colors is played off Victorian-style touches such as suspenders and bowler hats.
The combination of textures in the Iceberg Fall Winter 2012 menswear line is also notable, with wool, suede, leather and more. The looks are also a great combination of formal and casual wear, with the serious elements of the suit often complemented by knitwear and loose-fitting jackets. In addition to a variety of textures and fun color-blocked shades, the collection also included several different patterns, from plaid to stripes and even a little bit of sparkle in one blue coat.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- Color-blocked Shades
- The use of bright accent colors can be a trend for future men's fashion statements.
- Mix of Patterns

Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion
- The fashion industry can capitalize on the use of Victorian-style elements and mixture of textures and patterns in menswear.
- Textiles
- The textiles industry can innovate in the fabrication and production of wool, suede, leather and other materials for menswear.
- Accessories
- The accessories industry has the chance to create new lines of suspenders, bowler hats, and jewelry that complement the Victorian-style menswear trend.
