# Retro-Modern Hipster Dandywear The U-NI-TY Fall 2011 Lookbook is a Blast from the Past By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2011-06-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u-ni-ty-fall-2011 References: [thefashionisto](http://thefashionisto.com/ferdi-sibbel-by-philipp-hohndorf-for-u-ni-ty-fallwinter-2011-lookbook/) & [u-ni-ty](http://www.u-ni-ty.com/) The U-NI-TY Fall 2011 lookbook is a blast from the past. Photographer Philipp Hohndorf captured bearded model Ferdi Sibbel in [contemporary menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026) that channels eras past. Stylist David Duval had an array of retro-modern separates to play with, from knitted vests and patchwork blazers to [military-inspired button-down shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25), corduroy jackets and [drop-crotch trousers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2). The loose fashion in the U-NI-TY Fall 2011 is dapper yet laid-back; more generous cuts allow for easy movement and avoid the too-tight outfits seen elsewhere in menswear. Designer JP Gassa blended a variety of timeless cues with modern techniques, in effect creating a military uniform for civilians. My favorite shot from the U-NI-TY Fall 2011 lookbook is the first one above, in which Ferdi Sibbel rocks a modern hipster reinterpretation of a dandy's four-piece outfit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 83% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro-modern Fashion:** The blend of retro styles with modern techniques presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. - **Hipster Fashion:** The focus on modern hipster reinterpretations of classic styles opens up new possibilities for innovation in the fashion industry. - **Dandywear:** The revival of dandy-inspired fashion offers a unique opportunity for disruptive innovation in the menswear industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The U-NI-TY Fall 2011 lookbook highlights innovations in the fashion industry, specifically in the areas of retro-modern fashion and hipster fashion. - **Menswear:** The U-NI-TY Fall 2011 lookbook showcases the potential for disruptive innovation in the menswear industry, particularly in the realm of dandy-inspired fashion. - **Photography:** Photographer Philipp Hohndorf's capture of the U-NI-TY Fall 2011 lookbook demonstrates the evolving role of photography in the fashion industry, inspiring new possibilities for innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Fall-Centric Layered Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw24.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Bold Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md)
