Toronto Fashion Week: Thomas Bálint Fall 2013

Talk about back to black! Sheer, panelled shirts, rounded-collar men’s suits and striped shirts unveiled a new prototype for the perfect man at the Thomas Bálint Fall 2013 collection by Michael Thomas Bálint. Black denim was emphasized in several pieces including skinny pants, jackets and vests. Bálint’s suits reminded of Pulp Fiction, focusing on intricate tailoring and the perfect tie. The collection showed a fashion-forward, modern man with a killer detective piece — a popped-collar trench coat with metallic buttons.
