Kris Van Assche

Not only do I immensely love the idea behind this collection, American Gigolo on the runway, but I love the collection itself. Here is clothing for the fashion conscious gentleman about town. The looks go from casual and chic, to dressed up and elegant. There is probably something for every man in here and what's even better is the palette is not rude at all.

There is more grey than you could shake a stick at but that is no matter for Spring 2007 as, grey is coming out in a big way. Personally I am a huge fan of grey. It does not mean you have made the commitment of black,a darker and more serious color and it does not mean you were so boring to wear white again. Grey is a subtle and sophisticated color to pull of well, in any other garment than a suit. Even then the territory, un-familiar to many can be tricky.



These two looks, above and below, to me signify this collection entirely. The three piece suit worn in a relaxed fashion, and an actually relaxed more athletic look, all grey, all sophisticated and all man. Quite pleasing. Kris Van Assche is certainly one to keep your eyes on for future collections and what he does to transform the male.


Of course I cannot leave out the sex appeal that raged in this collection. Sure he took his inspiration from American Gigolo, but who thought of putting the paying clientele on the runway in matching outfits? Van Assche did of course and to tremendous avail. It actually makes you want to wear the clothes even more, hoping that you too might be so lucky as to land a catch such as these? Sexy, older women, taking control and in charge. Say hello to every gentleman's new fantasy. If it wasn't already.
