Wardrobes typically take a darker turn when cold weather sets in, but designers imbued their collections with an especially nefarious feel this season. Most visibly, the classic trench received a kinky revision when crafted from tough leather. When menacing gents stalked down the runways at Jil Sander and Yves Saint Laurent, it was a dangerous statement somewhere between Jack the Ripper and The Matrix's dystopia.
