Belstaff Channeled James Bond

Leather and cinched waists seemed to be the focal point of the new Belstaff fall 2012 collection, which was just debuted at London Fashion Week. The collection was dark and almost foreboding with a sense of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. Plus, edgy didn't even begin to cover this collection. It was like a James Bond villain with a style that could actually thwart the hero’s plans.

Whatever piece of literature or cinematography may have inspired these looks, everyone agreed that they look darn good. It was a new twist on the fall season, because everyone seems to think that fall means browns, oranges, and reds. That is, everyone but the designers over at Belstaff, who decided the season called for black leather and long trench coats.

So, get your James Bond on with these looks, but keep in mind that looking this good will not make you inconspicuous. Everyone will be staring at you, more than a few of them with envy.
