In the Fall/Winter 2012/2013 Men's Collection, PHILIPP PLEIN dresses up classic cuts with striking and extravagant details and lends a completely new interpretation to them. This collection has been inspired by the animal kingdom. Leather jackets have been adorned with animal prints. Coats stand out due to fur linings. The collection prompts the contemporary gentleman to unleash the beast he finds within him and to have the courage to let it run free! The beasts in the collection consist of high-quality materials such as ostrich, python and crocodile leather, and refine jackets, accessories and shoes. They give the collection a special touch and perfect the combination of luxury and rock 'n' roll.

Discipline. Virtue. Order. The zeitgeist of our era demands these principles of a true gentleman. But who allows him to live out his wild side? Where can a real man take a risk? Where is he allowed to experiment? Freedom and independence. Freedom from conventions. When is the man of our time able to live out his wildest sides? Liberation, self- fulfilment and enjoying his wild and untamed side. The fulfilment of these desires is something that the animal kingdom experiences daily with an unimaginable glory and versatility. This inspiration forms the key to this collection, designed for wild globetrotters who don't want to go without quality and who do want exclusivity and uniqueness.

Classically cut suits made from luxurious materials and designs offer a sense of diversification to the eye and satisfy the need for uniqueness. A particular eye-catcher is the, both disarming and spectacular, suit in a soft velvet. Unusual, imposing and unprecedented. Exquisite leathers applied to the lapels or sleeves of jackets, coats and the classic double- breasted trench coat represent the adventurous side of a man. The combination of classic extravagance and rock 'n' roll is perfect. Faded jeans in a destroyed or used-look lend an air of casual chic to an outfit. Traditional understatement is provided by a simple, but impeccable, pair of trousers in a herringbone pattern. Even the details come into their own. Leather jackets with zips, pockets and applications step out into the spotlight and the beasts of the collection show themselves. The absolute highlights here include a glamorous crocodile biker-style jacket designed to be worn by confident and strong men. Or a jacket made from the finest of sheepskins, as soft as velvet, and finished with a shoulder-wide collar and an eye-catching and surprisingly captivating tiger embroidery. The bomber jacket made from exquisite alligator leather is unparalleled. The printed shirts are always fun and exciting with the "Terrorist Bunny" model standing out from the others. The “Godfather” theme provokes. Simple but concise, the significant prints and bold slogans show the person behind the façade. The shoes and accessories collection from PHILIPP PLEIN also includes a range of very special items. The absolute must-have accessory for the coming winter is, without a doubt, the python trolley. A call of the wild! Crocodile leather has been worked into an iPad case, a weekend bag and a motorcycle helmet. Fantasy knows no boundaries! Soft, flowing cashmere scarves provide warmth in colder months. Metal finishing features such as insignias and buckles along with embroidery decorative shoes, velvet moccasins, English-

style lace-ups in velour and the inevitable alligator leather that lends the entire collection an air of exotic luxury.

The wild side experience is encouraged, not just internally, but externally. And the modern gentleman learns a completely new, relaxed side to his nature. The inclusion of elements of an animalistic lifestyle helps give him air to breathe. He is passionate. He experiments. He takes risks. He demands. He achieves.

Unleash the beast...and be brave enough to take that risk!
