MARLON GOBEL • Fall / Winter 2011 "The Secret Order" from Marlon Gobel on Vimeo.

Marlon Gobel, the menswear designer who convinced Christian Louboutin to do shoes for his New York show (the first time CB has ever done so for a men's collection), was kind enough to share behind the scenes footage from his Park Avenue Armory runway. The clothes look great--and so do the guys. Enjoy!

Behind-the-Scenes: Henry Holland's Fall 2011 Look Book

We heart Henry Holland, so when we found out the British designer was teaming up with Range Rover to document the London shoot of House of Holland's Fall 2011 look book, we wanted to get in on the action. The concept was to capture models wearing the collection at the designer's favorite spots in the city. Henry was kind enough to answer some questions about the process for Fashionista, via this quirky little video.

Christian Louboutin Teams Up With Menswear Designer Marlon Gobel for New York Fashion Week

Thom Browne and Michael Bastian alum Marlon Gobel might only be three seasons into his own collection, but he's got friends in high places. In fact, Gobel is collaborating with world-famous shoemaker Christian Louboutin for his Fall 2011 collection. Gobel's models will wear shoes from Louboutin's men's line on the runway in February at New York Fashion Week--a first for the cobbler, who is predominantly known for his sky high heels. Last season, Gobel used a pair of Louboutin heels for his only women's look. Christian loved Gobel's style so much that he offered to outfit the boys for Fall 2011. "It's amazing," Gobel tells Fashionista. "His shoes are transformative and elegant."

Yigal Azrouël Fall 2011: Menswear Shapes, Mod Colors

In a strategic move last month, Yigal Azrouël showed his men’s collection in Paris instead of New York. But it was yesterday’s women’s show that really told how much menswear has been on his mind: For fall, Yigal’s girl is running with the boys, in tailored pants, tuxedo jackets, heeled loafers, and even bow ties. But that girl is doing so with a fistful of RIT dye, coloring the separates in cobalt, tangerine, emerald, and bubblegum. The result falls somewhere in a Venn diagram overlap of “girly menswear”, a sweet spot for smartly styled Hollywood ensembles and many a Teen Vogue editorial.

United Bamboo Fall 2011: One-Stop Wardrobe

For Fall 2011, United Bamboo created a wardrobe that could last a decade. From the crisp white button up and the easy plaid sack dresses to the tweed suits and perfect platform loafers, it might be wise to spend $3,000 on this collection and never shop again. Of course, most of us can't do that. But we can dream. Especially about those loafers. **All photos by Imaxtree.
