The Nicole Farhi Fall Winter 2012 menswear line debuted at Milan Fashion Week and displayed an interesting array of staples perfect for any occasion.
Each model was outfitted with a sleep mask on their head, and some carried a magazine or newspaper, while others may have been styled with a serious piece of luggage. The combination of sleep mask, reading materials and bags suggest these looks are perfect for traveling, and the look that involves striped pajama-like layers and a zip-up cashmere hoodie definitely adds to that. The Nicole Farhi Fall Winter 2012 menswear collection also includes a splash of the beach in a palm tree pattern, while the shoes were leather loafers.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Travel-inspired Fashion
- The use of sleep masks, reading materials, and luggage in fashion collections presents opportunities for disrupting the fashion industry by creating travel-inspired clothing lines.
- Pajama-like Layers
- Pajama-like layered outfits present opportunities for disrupting the fashion industry by creating comfortable and versatile clothing suitable for both sleep and outdoor activities.
- Leather Loafers
- Leather loafers as a staple for men's footwear present opportunities for disrupting the shoemaking industry by creating more durable and stylish loafers for men.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion Industry

- Luggage Industry
- Luggage makers can capitalize on the trend towards travel-inspired clothing by creating more functional and stylish luggage options that complement these outfits.

- Shoe manufacturers can create new and innovative designs for leather loafers inspired by the sophistication seen in the Nicole Farhi collection to cater to a niche market.
