Belstaff

It's time to talk about the fall #aesthetic.

And Nic Cage wore a shirt with his face on it.

From underpants to outerwear: We've known David Beckham was going to be the new, ridiculously attractive face of Brit heritage brand Belstaff for several months now, but today brings us a few new insights.

Four cities, one season: Fall 2013. Nemo kicked the collections off and every city to follow added its own dose of wintry chill. Somehow all that cold weather caused a discernible note of restraint to float through the collections. Don’t worry--the passion and excitement were still there, but designers actively pursued defining new ways we can really dress next fall. These looks felt grounded in the return of the “Lady," as fashion’s pendulum swung away from the risqué, toward the refreshingly refined (spike-studded shoulders be damned). Check out our top trends for fall in the slide show.

You can watch pretty much any designer runway show from the comfort of your own couch these days thanks to livestreaming. Designers run them on their Facebook pages, on specific livestream sites, and on fashion websites like this one. While you, the at-home fashion consumer, may be watching for entertainment or to make your shopping list for the next season, know this: The brands are also watching you (and your tweets) closely.

Thanks to Nemo dumping 10 inches of snow on NYC--not to mention frigid temperatures in the 20s--outerwear was at the front of everyone's minds this past week. Luckily, New York designers were totally on top of it and offered a pretty stellar selection of coats and jackets for fall 2013.

Fashion week came, and brought a feisty lil' friend named Nemo along for the ride--forcing us to consider forgoing, "Well, doesn't she look chic!" for, "Well, doesn't she look warm?!" The runways begged to differ, offering up endless new ways to bundle-up beautifully for fall 2013. Check out our top ten trend takeaways from the fashion week that weathered the storm in style.

Belstaff made their name on waxed cotton jackets since opening up shop in 1924--but in the past several seasons creative director Martin Cooper has seemed keen to leave that heritage behind, perhaps in an effort to establish the brand's fashion cred. For fall 2013, however, Cooper seemed ready to go back to the brand's roots.

Pre-Fall 2013 has wrapped!...or has it?...Nobody can quite say for sure, but with the Fall 2013 shows quickly approaching in mid-February, we figured now was as good a time as any to take inventory of our favorites from “the season between seasons."

Leah's at the Pitti Uomo tradeshow in Florence this week, and undoubtedly she's come across several "heritage" brands at the hundreds of booths shilling their earnestly designed shoes, jackets and jeans to the world's top menswear buyers and editors. The term "heritage" is commonplace in menswear—and beyond—thanks to the fashionable revival of traditional English brands (Barbour, Belstaff) and Made-in-America labels (Alden, Carhartt). But with the introduction of Portland, Oregon-based Pendleton Woolen Mills' new "heritage collection" last week, we wondered: has the use of the word "heritage" reached a saturation point?

We've got another round of show notes ready for you to check out! Belstaff kept it light with linen, Ohne Titel got graphic, and Carlos Miele took us to the jungle.
