Andrew Majtenyi, one of the many Canadian expat designers to take London’s fashion scene by storm, continued to impress international audiences with the presentation of his autumn/winter 2012 collection at Paris Fashion Week (Mar.2 to Mar.5, 2012).

Using futuristic elements – including angled zippers, muted metallic shades and flared, structural shapes – Majtenyi brought innovation to his ready-to-wear Spaced Out collection.

With many tailored jackets, mixed print dresses and tweed pieces, the collection highlighted the designer’s expertise in 18^th and 19^th century tailoring, acquired through working with period piece design masters, including Santo Loquasto and Vincenzo Cardone.

The presentation included an extensive range of long-sleeve dresses that combined the use of custom geometric prints, textured fabrics and artfully curved panels. For space-inspired footwear, he swapped moon boots for the High Contrast Shoe with flared ankle sleeves.

From head-to-toe, Majtenyi’s presentation showed his ability to flatter silhouettes, while uniting past and futuristic styles with ease.
