Kai-aakman
I personally feel that when designers talk about androgyny, they are thinking of the aesthetic where men’s pieces are cut for a women’s body. Kai-aakman takes the idea of androgyny a little more seriously. At the Spring/Summer 12 preview, it was easy to see how either sex could enjoy the collection as a whole. Now I love me a good harem pant, even though they may be considered a man-repeller, Kai-aakman designer Soojin Park is not afraid to make a pair for the fellas. Shown with t-shirts and oxfords, the harem reads as incredibly chic and not like a pant that only certain guys can pull off. As for the ladies, the collection is filled with sharp cut trousers, loose silk tanks, and bomb ass trench coats.

Eryn Brinié
When going through Eryn Brinié’s Spring/Summer 12 collection, I can honestly say that I want it all right now. She’s brought in a lot of color this season i.e. kelly green, peach, light blue, and an amazing abstract print infused with shades of pink. I’m absolutely obsessed with this long pleated number that I originally thought was a pleated maxi skirt, but on closer inspection I realized that they were wide leg pants.
