The ZeroUnderscore Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook may seem a little too Men in Black for some, but it showcases an undeniable amount of sleek style. Taking inspiration from both Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, this modern menswear collection is all about simplicity.

Based in Seoul, Korea, ZeroUnderscore presents a [monochromatic palette of greys and blacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25), designed with the modern gentleman in mind. From [sharp suiting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea) to intricately accented outerwear, this leather-clad collection is a modern take on spy-inspired styles.

Debuting its premier collection, the edgy label fuses classic menswear styling along with a youthful fashion flair. The ZeroUnderscore Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook spread shines a spotlight on [crisp and clean-cut silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025) and retro headwear accessories. Timeless and tailored, this debonair collection exudes elegance and sophistication.
