If you paid attention to the Versace collaboration with H&M, between the vibrant prints, plunging cuts and short hems, you probably were, like me, curious to see what the Italian label would produce for the runway.
Disappoint, Donatella Versace certainly did NOT.
Excess, theatrics, bold use of colour and a nearly subversive-military [Read more...]
It’s kind of like a Hipster met James Dean met Kurt from “Glee” met a member of a contemporary version of the Rat Pack.
That’s what I think of when I see Dean and Dan Caten’s AW12 menswear collection for Dsquared² at Milan Fashion Week.
For some [Read more...]
When I was a little girl I used to play with Barbie dolls.
Before she broke-up with him, got back together with him and canoodled with him in a “Toy Story” film (what a world we live in, eh?), Barbie was the girlfriend of one Ken doll.
If Ken was going to Aspen, Colorado or somewhere in Switzerland to go skiing, canoodle by a fireplace and drink spiked apple cider, we imagine that “Winter’s Tale” menswear by Ermenegildo Zegna for AW12 at Milan Fashion Week would be his wardrobe of choice. [Read more...]

It’s like fan of Mr. Darcy’s wardrobe and a multi-generational ensemble of men came to life to star in “Prada Presents: Il Palazzo. A Palace of Role Play.”
It seems like Miuccia Prada planned a spectacular event of theatrics and celebrity.
The space was reconfigured into a court, laden with a red carpet and featuring Gary Oldman, Adrien Brody, Willem DaFoe, Alex Carril, and Jamie Bell in its later portion.
If that isn’t clout, [Read more...]
After looking at this collection, a fellow blogger told me, “tie me up and give me that!”
Well, that is one way to describe Salvatore Ferragamo’s AW12 Menswear collection from Milan Fashion Week.
It’s an understatement to say that Massimiliano Giornetti [Read more...]
Without sounding too cliche, there is something very Michael Cain circa 1960 meets Tom Ford circa 2000s about the AW12 Ports 1961 Menswear Collection.
Maybe it’s the way Ian Hylton made the pieces feel very classic-MI5 and debonair or maybe it was the fact that he was inspired by the 1930s.
But either way, the gentlemen of the Ports 1961 who walked the runway during Milan Fashion Week looked nothing short of dashing.
Hylton’s refined [Read more...]
Described as “Molto Italiano does America” by Style.com, there is something to said about the Native American-inspired collection by Just Cavalli for pre-Fall 2012.
While, the label still holds true to its ultra glamorous and extremely sexy roots [Read more...]
