# Grand Steampunk Lookbooks The Prada Menswear Fall 2012 Collection is Ornate By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-06-25 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prada-menswear-fall-2012 References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/steampunk/prada-goes-steampunk-for-fall-3n9d) & [prada](http://www.prada.com/en/live-parade/post) The Prada Menswear Fall 2012 collection is modeled by Gary Oldman, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell and Willem Dafoe, and features a beautifully steampunk vibe. With an array of rich fabrics, colors and textures, the collection is a marriage of past and present for men's fashion. Re-introducing the concept of the cape, classic trenches and luxuriously detailed double-breasted jackets, the Prada collection is a standout for it's incredibly ornate construction. With modern-day riding glasses and the re-introduction of other classics straight out of the remade Guy Richie Sherlock Holmes series, this men's collection is a great way to shake up menswear and add some versatility that is often seen in women's collection, but neglected in men's. Using a palette of deep violets, rich burgundies and classic black the Prada Menswear Fall 2012 collection plays on a mix of new and old. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Steampunk Fashion:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to embrace steampunk aesthetics and create unique collections with a fusion of past and present. - **Versatile Menswear:** The Prada Menswear Fall 2012 collection highlights the need for more versatility in men's fashion, opening up opportunities for brands to offer diverse and unconventional styles. - **Reintroducing Classics:** The re-introduction of classic elements like capes and detailed double-breasted jackets in the Prada collection presents an opportunity for brands to revitalize traditional designs with a modern twist. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can explore the steampunk trend and offer unique collections to cater to the demand for visually striking and alternative fashion styles. - **Men's Fashion:** The Prada Menswear Fall 2012 collection suggests a need for more versatile and unconventional options in men's fashion, creating opportunities for brands to innovate and capture new market segments. - **Luxury Fashion:** Luxury fashion brands can tap into the trend of reintroducing classic elements and create opulent collections that appeal to consumers seeking a mix of heritage and modernity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Timeless Sophisticated Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md)
