PARIS- January 19, 2011-/FW/ — The next collection from Ehud has us convinced that we need to take a closer look- for what we first see is not always what it seems. The totally wearable collection evoked the masculinity we missed in some collections this season.

Modern neutrals in shades of grey, taupe and black commenced the show, but it was the silhouettes that got our attention the most. Keeping with the slim leg we have gotten accustomed to, Ehud used color block emphases to accentuate the masculine form.

Patent accessories and shoes, skinny ties and plunging v-necks finished off the sleek looks and reminded us of the Mad Men era. The surprising details we noticed most were the differing textures and contrasting colors used on the front versus the back of separates. Red patent leather from the front turned into demure grey flannel after passing. Definitely a hit at Ehud this season.
