We love the creative design duo, in part because they remind us of Turkish and Tommy from Snatch, but mainly because they&#8217;re damn good at what they do.<br \/>\nFor FW12 duality was once again a central theme introducing a whole new set of tailored masculine-feminine looks. Their latest collection, A Concerto for Two, was a culmination of juxtapositions with a visual dialogue that began while Wolk and Morais were viewing the bronze sculptures of Henry Moore against the backdrop of English estates.<br \/>\nIt was the contrast of formality and modernism that struck a cord with the designers. Painterly plaids met digital ones, like textiles in varying scales were present within the same garment, and black and bronze metallic leather was tailored into Neo-Victorian shapes. The collection succeeded in providing the modern woman with both warmth and familiarity as well as razor-sharp Ruffian tailoring.<br \/>\nA huge trend for FW12 menswear and womenswear, we loved the mixed leather-wool pieces. The molten wool, Glen plaids, and checks are timeless. The hats were seductive as were the double-breasted long coats. There&#8217;s a soft spot for the black silk velvet pieces as well. Great job boys!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12a.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12a.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"RuffianFW12a\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12a.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12a-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12b.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12b.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"RuffianFW12b\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12b.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/RuffianFW12b-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIts all style to me for Luxsure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We thoroughly enjoyed the Ruffian Tuxedo Park inspired Fall\/Winter 2011 Collection and were looking forward to what Brian Wolk and Claude Morais would deliver for Fall\/Winter 2012.
