With an infusion of cash, French designer Nicolas Andreas Taralis, formerly a designer at Dior Homme, offered more of his signature androgynous tailoring, heaping with odes to blue collar workers, but always done up in luxurious fabrications.

Nicolas Andreas Taralis showed a stark monochromatic collection during Paris Fashion Week this morning that included long proportioned knits and vests alongside paneled suits and a rough and tumble leather jacket.

Nicolas Andreas Taralis' Fall/Winter 2011 collection beyond....beyond the grave that is. The macabre factor of the runway show was heightened with ghoulish makeup and channeling Edgar Allan Poe with billowy blousons and late nineteenth century inspired overcoats.
