Beards are hardly an innovation in men's fashion. We've seen many a whiskers on runways before, and they ebb and flow each year just like just like eyebrows in the womenswear shows. But this season beards were out in full force, some to an extreme degree. Vivienne Westwood frosted her models' faux facial hair with snow and ice for an extra-rugged mountain man look, while Paul Smith and Umit Benan pruned their models' chin hairs into rounded, shrub-like clouds. There were exceptions to the untamed bushiness, though: some designers, like Hermes and Roberto Cavalli, showed closely-cropped beards that more closely resembled a few days' worth of scruff. Also of note: An exciting frequency of ginger beards! Take a look of the season's best beards in the slideshow.
