Leopold Getting ready for Summer 2009
Melbourne-based menswear label coveted for its refreshing blend of the traditional with the contemporary. The brainchild of Shandor Gancs and Boyd Parry, Leopold has quickly established itself at the forefront of Australian menswear. The elegant style defines itself in luxurious fabrics, unexpected details, fine tailoring and bold colors.
Colored and sporty garments set the tone for the Leopold man this season, combined with vintage details from the 70s. Choosing geometric cotton knits, hooded sweatshirts or v-neck sweaters brightened with summer colors like cobolt blue and firey red. The Leopold boys have designed a new easywear look for Summer - mixing formal and sportswear looks. Loose cotton cardigans, waffle knit sweaters, metallic jackets, sports shorts, tailored shirting, dark denim and tuxedo jackets all work seamlessly - a new relaxed elegance. The color palette includes grey tones (from silver to charcoal), black, navy and cobolt blue with highlights of metallic black and Leopold's signature red.
I think it´s great that menswear is finally evolving. Using lot´s of outher tendencies and focusing on day by day life.
It´s a shame a lot of these can´t be used in a tropical country like Brazil...

That colorful jacket is the best piece in the collection. Couple it with a tie and it's sure to turn heads.
