Brazilian designer Gustavo Lins presented his couture collection during Paris Fashion Week this week and as usual, a small handful of handsome male models accompanied the beautiful dresses he offered. The men wear the designer's menswear collection, which showed in a hotel courtyard a few days earlier.

Running nearly 90 minutes late Jean Paul Gaultier's latest haute couture collection caught more than a few journalists and buyers a bit miffed at the late start. Though when the show did commence, Gaultier offered a reworking of his most iconic pieces from tuxedos done up with sexy silhouettes to corsets and an ode to Hollywood, or to Cannes, since the couturier was a judge at the recent Cannes Film Festival. At any rate, for the FW12 couture collection, Gaultier showed a vampy collection on male models like Willy Cartier, Paul Boche and Andrej Pejic.

Tom Ford's very hush-hush collections are always a sight for sore eyes. For Fall/Winter 2012, the American designer who almost single-handedly  brought sex to the forefront of fashion during his tenure at Gucci, created another extremely luxurious, sexy and dandy collection for his latest menswear collection. Fur was plentiful, as well as lush velvets, shimmering silks and exotics skins, all worn by Mathias Bergh, Max Motta, and Jonas Kessler.

Robert Verino's Fall/Winter 2012 collection was one of the most on-trend collections during Madrid Fashion Week, with fur accents on nearly every look, even on the outfit of the boy in the finale, escorted by Jon Kortajarena. If fur wasn't enough to signal the collection's luxe feel, then the gold-hued pieces hit the message home like a sledgehammer.

Though there were only two menswear looks at Miguel Marinero's FW12 collection, they were wildly flamboyant with a kumquat-hued textured top coat and an oversized fur officer's coat in lavender. Though the suiting was more reserved and well cut.
