10 Brands We Can't Wait To See This Fall

Dabbling in just about any pattern or design they can get their hands on, Del Toro is no stranger to pushing the boundaries. Collabing with bloggers and rappers, alike, to create one-of-a-kind pieces you see and say "oh, that's definitely Del Toro" seems to be their specialty these days. And with sneak peeks at some more of their collaborative pieces for fall, rest assured that same notion will be said over and over again, and we ain't mad at that.

Toronto-based Creep by Hiroshi Awai is one of those rare brands that comes along and ties Japanese aesthetic into American workwear perfectly. From button downs and jackets you can wear on any given occasion, to pieces like the Wool Blend CPO Jacket and Tweed Expedition Slim Pants that are specific to one's individual taste, they completely fill the spectrum of style. With the fall/winter 2012 lookbook supplying us with sartorial eye candy one could only be so lucky to own, we are definitely making sure our eyes are peeled for the drop. Better have your trigger finger ready.

Apolis Activism isn't your normal, run-of-the-mill menswear brand. While their stock is filled with enough dope pieces to keep your wardrobe satisfied for life, their approach is one that has our attention for fall. Apolis, which translates as "global citizen" doesn't just invest in fabric or materials, they invest in people by sourcing and manufacturing goods locally in Los Angeles, as well as overseas to call for global advocacy. So they take pride in going to countries like Uganda and Peru and calling on their people to create beautiful pieces using a philosophy that bridges commerce and microeconomic development. You're getting behind a business that is trying to better the world, which isn't hard to do when seeing some of the great stuff Apolis puts out.

Kith has been killing in this year. With a plethora of drops from Ronnie Fieg and his new Red label, how can you not anticipate what's to do for fall? Even though they don't concentrate on specific seasons, they've do an excellent job of bringing us some dope pieces with outrageous patterns like cheetah and tiger camo and great designs, like their recent collab with Pendleton. And people are taking notice. We've even caught wind of some footwear collabs you do not want to miss out on, but shhhh. The wait is killing us!

Tech gear is a hard thing to perfect. It's an even harder thing to make them wearable in a casual atmosphere, let alone stylish. As one of the best brands of 2012 so far, Isaora has been improving on this notion since breaking into the game in 2009. With their latest fall 2012 collection, we get a mixture of state-of-the-art quality fabrics and innovative designs with style and functionality for that diamond-in-the-rough of technical sportswear. Isaora is definitely here, y'all.

A.P.C. ain't all about supplying you with some of the best raw denim money can buy anymore. This season, A.P.C. makes a case for "best all around collection", supplying everything from your basic T-shirt and chinos to more elaborate cardigans, sweaters, and jackets, all in an incredibly diverse color palette, perfect for the cooler months ahead. They've also teamed up with Nike for must have fall casual kicks. With most of their items hitting their e-store already, we know they will have a couple more pieces, maybe even a few collabs, up their sleeves. The French brand is le winning.

The Hundreds will always be a staple in the streetwear community. Bobby and his crew have solidified this. But when we first saw their fall 2012 "Apocalypse Now" lookbook, we knew the Cali staple have evolved into something special. Mixing incredible camo and traditional Native American prints on some more mature streetwear items really had us excited to see everything they have in store for fall.

While what we've seen so far from Cole Haan for fall/winter 2012 has been great, with new colorways and styles of the LunarGrand series piquing our interest, we can't wait for the brand's new collection to drop for another reason. With Nike selling Cole Haanto focus on other lines, could this collection be the last of the lightweight Nike lunarlon technology? Hopefully, one of the most hyped items of the year doesn't leave us so soon.

Rarely does one, single piece have us double-taking and twiddling our thumbs for just a peek of an entire collection, but when we caught glimpse of Thom Browne's fall/winter 202 varsity jacket, a collective "daaaaamn!" came over us. With high fashion brands like Givenchy, Balmain, and the likes keeping the hype, and price tags, plenty high, Thom Browne definitely joins the ranks for the fall.

As one of the most popular workwear-inspired lines around, Daiki Suzuki and the Engineered Garments crew are known for bringing that fire for fall. And from what we've seen so far, this could be one of the best ones yet. Other than the traditional chambray shirts every man should have in his wardrobe, we're getting a multitude of new styles and patterns, including an incredible navy camo, have us checking in on our favorite shops to see when they're Engineered Garments shipments are coming in.
