Hywel Davies’s book is on a subject we find critical in men’s style, menswear. Don’t suppress your surprise please. If your primary domicile for the past decade hasn’t been a cave then you’ve noticed that men’s dress is important. Dynamic, casual, relaxed, sharp - menswear has become a hotbed of disposable income. It’s no longer just [...]

Yves Saint Laurent Presentation © Chris Moore/ Karl Prouse So, you've seen the Autumn/ Winter 2008 Menswear collections and you're wondering, "What does it all mean?" Well, first off have a browse of some of the great fashion sites out there. They will clear a certain amount up with regards to the broader trends (men.style.com and catwalking.com come highly recommended) but, considering no-one will buy up a whole trend in one go, what are the best bits, the real highlights of A/W 2008 for men- the pieces you will actually be wearing come the cold weather? Let's have a look... To begin, Adam Kimmel, the New Yorker whose clothes are currently quietly (or not so quietly) but quickly charming their way into the hearts of many a man on both sides of the Atlantic. The aim for this collection wa

Thandie NewtonGwyneth Paltrow (source)There's definitely a chill in the air, but not quite so much that you have to quit baring your legs. While your summer tan is still lingering, consider pairing your cocktail dresses with a fitted blazer for one hot menswear look.Thandie Newton and Gwyneth Paltrow get this look right by pairing a super fancy dress with dark, fitted blazers. This look is almost a little "I borrowed my boyfriends jacket at the prom" but is much more grown up if you get a good fitted jacket.To get the most mileage from this look, pair a sparkly evening gown with a good quality blazer and matching black shoes and bag. Understated accessories that match with your blazer tie the look all in together and keep it from looking silly.So if you've got a formal party to attend, then consider covering up bare arms and shoulders with a hot fitted blazer...they aren't just for jeans and tees anymore!

I'm sure you're aware that the menswear trend is the look of choice for the super sophisticated fashionista this season. Trousers, structured coats and shirts in traditional storm cloud colors are winners, but the key to rocking this look right is to put a girly spin on it! The navy bow tie pumps and ruffled top featured here give this outfit a much needed estrogen boost. I found these high-waisted wide leg trousers at Lulu*s which are too perfect to pass up for the price. Top it off with a tailored jacket and you're ready to roll.Amazon Navy Blue Charlize Hobo by Vitalio Vera $34.95YesStyle Ruffled Feminine Blouse $15.00Lulu*s High-Waisted Wide Leg Trousers $34.00CutesyShoes Delicious Navy Daju Pumps $39.99 $19.99Lulu*s Gold Five-Circle Linked Bracelet $9.00TOTAL: $112.94

Menswear inspired shoes: Belle by Sigerson Morrison stiletto heeled oxford booties The menswear inspired shoe trend continues, and thus far this Belle by Sigerson Morrison stiletto oxford (US$295) is the most feminine incarnation I’ve seen. I’m quite fond of the black version, but I feel that the visibility is somehow lacking, and that the cute design isn’t as apparant as it could be. In the gray version, however, the suede and laces, sleek lines, contoured shape all complement each other quite well. The soft color and delicate shape are unmistakably feminine, while the top laces and oxford design are quite cutting-edge trendy.

Mio Destino now shopwcases the new Hom Collection. HOM was established in 1968 in Marseille by Charles Belpaume & Gilbert Anselme. In 1986 HOM was bought by lingerie leaders Triumph and expanded worldwide. In 1997 HOM invent happiness for men with H01, their first brief with a horizontal opening. French politicians are invited to wear test H01's and give them the thumbs up and The Fashion Museum at the Louvre in Paris displays a pair of H01's in recognition of their innovative design. Since 1997 many more designs have been added and H01s top best-seller lists throughout Europe.Modern designs evoke a sexy and masculine feel such as the HOM Males Red Hipster and the HOM Energy Maxi Red and White Pants .

It has become customary, it seems, to make some kind of connection between what is being shown on the catwalks and what is being shown on CNN. Thus you get endless nonsense, every time a pair of combat trousers appears on the runways, to the effect that this is a reference to “our military times” and that scowly models are some kind of commentary on “the paranoid times in which we live” (yes, those are direct quotes). Maybe I’m a conventional sort but, personally, if I want to talk about the war, I’ll do it orally, not sartorially. (more…)

Lanvin, one of the rarest & pricier brands in fashion, placed the cherry on top of the sundae at the menswear spring 2008 runway show. Like last year, the collection consisted of some of the best men's footwear from simplicity to eye candy. The collection showed gold high top sneakers perfect to wear with a pair of raw, unwashed, jeans while it also had bronze oxford lace up shoes. The collection was not " a collection" rather it was a smorgasbord of beauty, elegance, & the finest "wardrobe" every man dreams of.(except for the dry cleaning)Do you think I'm joking or want to see for yourself check out a highlight video of the show below.Customer Service

The Milano Moda Uomo (Milan Menswear) Spring 2008 is poised to tackle Menswear 2.0 as it elevates fashion into the 21st century. Menswear 2.0 sounds like geek speak. The internet now has Web 2.0, which means that it has evolved since it burst into the scene during the 1990s and literally changed the way we live and communicate, Menswear 2.0 also means taking it into an entirely new level. Last month during the ‘Fashion in Motion‘ show, Zegna, a well known brand of men’s luxury clothing participated in the runway show that featured the most innovative and creative products and prototypes in Wearable Electronic. FashionWindows has an excellent article posted about Fashion and Technology = Wearable Electronic. Here are a few statements from this article: Zegna’s iJacket, a luxury sport jacket that features an interior jacket pocket that stores the iPod … the controls of the iPod is located on the sleeves … Functional? Yes! Stylish? Definitely. It&rsqu

Our favourite building in New York is the Public Library. The library is probably the greatest Beaux-Arts building, Carrère & Hastings the architects of the Library won a competition to design it, studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and they were very familiar with French architectural ideas. And they took the ideas of the Opéra and other public buildings and adapted them for New York to create this great masterpiece. The Library currently has an exhibition ‘A Rakish History of Men’s Wear’ (showing until April 07) it provides an opportunity for viewers to trace the social, cultural, political, and aesthetic influences that have shaped the development of men’s fashion,” said Paul LeClerc, President of The New York Public Library. “The Library’s rich trove of historical costume and fashion plate materials are an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the forces that have shaped styles of dress from antiquity to today

One of our favourite buildings in New York is the Public Library at 42nd Street. It’s one of the great Beaux-Arts buildings, designed by Carrère & Hastings who won a competition to design it when studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and they drew heavily on French architectural ideas. Borrowing themes and ideas from such iconic Paris buildings as L’Opéra, the architects adapted these for New York to create this a masterpiece. Currently on exhibition at the Library is ‘A Rakish History of Men’s Wear’ (showing until April 07). It provides an opportunity for viewers “to trace the social, cultural, political, and aesthetic influences that have shaped the development of men’s fashion,” according to Paul LeClerc, President of The New York Public Library. “The Library’s rich trove of historical costume and fashion plate materials are an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the forces that have
