Chris Benz
inspiration
I have been traveling to Savannah, Georgia over the latter part of
2010 and have become enamoured with the scenery and laissez-
faire attitude of the South — the gorgeous cypress trees covered in
Spanish moss, weather-worn masonry, filtered sunlight and a tension
between old- and new-fashioned ideals
prominent colors
We love the idea of the Old South and swampy colors in the moonlight:
Licorice, Pirate Black, Dark Slate, Mood Indigo and Cypress with hits
of Rust, Freesia, Hot Coral, Super Pink, Algiers Blue and Antique Moss

Sponge because of its quiet intensity — although a neutral Beige Green,
the amount of colors used to create it allows it to fit with everything
in the collection — its versatility from day to evening is remarkable

spirit and a nod to antebellum details with gunmetal ball buttons

Bamboo Burnt Sienna Raspberry Wine Phlox Cedar Deep Teal Coffee Liqueúr Nougat Cadet Quarry
men’s
Tommy Hilfiger
Similar to the women’s palette, men’s hues take a painterly
approach for fall 2011, but with a few nuanced variations,
depicting a more masculine style. Reliable basics, including Nougat,
Coffee Liqueúr, Cedar, Deep Teal, Quarry and Cadet, anchor the palette for
menswear, while vibrant accents like Bamboo, Burnt Sienna, Raspberry
Wine and Phox add pops of vivid color.
Taking orange in a more masculine direction, Burnt Sienna serves as

the standard, fall classic. Accent pieces including ties, scarves and pocket
squares in this warm orange are a must. Providing men an alternative to
Honeysuckle, Raspberry Wine has more sparkle than a merlot, making
a statement with its vital red characteristics. The assemblage of Deep Teal,
Cedar and Raspberry Wine is a spectacular composition.
Cadet, the perfect marriage of blue and gray, is another indisputable

classic, serving as a dependable backbone that can be worn from season
to season. Magical purple Phlox blooms against a neutral background of
Nougat, Coffee Liqueúr and Quarry.
