Style Watch: Leggings & Coats 2008-08-26 02:30:20 Check out Tyler Riggs and Boris Kolesnikov of Red Models in Vogue Pelle. I love leggings for men during both spring and fall, but I especially like when they are paired with coats and other fall accessories. Visually, I like the idea of having different layers (ie: a combination; give or take of scarves, button [...] Read more:Style

Tres Bien New Arrivals 2008-08-26 02:30:14 Keep your eye on Tres Bien’s webstore. This week, they will be posting their fall shipments, beginning with Our Legacy. Our Legacy has some nice basics, but to be quite honest, I’m over the top excited to see their Henrik Vibskov buys.
Fashionisto Blog Suggestion: What I Saw Today 2008-08-25 02:17:18 I’m constantly on the search for new men’s fashion blogs with a unique perspective. I stumbled upon What I Saw Today
this weekend and instantly fell in love. It’s a charming blog where fashion designer Richard Haines posts about his daily fashion eye candy. However, instead of using pictures like everybody else, Richard draws the [...] Read more:Suggestion
Uniforms for the Dedicated Fall 2008 2008-08-25 02:16:59 Check out new label Uniforms
for the Dedicated
and their fall collection. The label functions on the idea of a collaborate effort between artists from various and diverse fields. The label is constantly searching for new input or suggestions. For more pictures of the current collection, please visit the official Uniforms for the Dedicated [...]
News Arrivals @ Eluxury 2008-08-25 02:16:38 Pictured left: Diesel Black Gold, Pictured above (left to right): Marc by Marc Jacobs, Maison Martin Margiela
Diesel is taking me by surprise with their Black Gold collection. Up until this point, I have been strongly anti-Diesel when it comes to fashion, but they are winning me over. Their Black Gold collection has some nice pieces [...]
René Gurskov Fall 2008 2008-09-18 11:52:31
Introducing René Gurskov?
“In 2003 René closed his shop after several successful years and founded the whole-sale company In Circus producing the label René Gurskov Men. The collections contain reversed classics and well-known items in [a] new disguise. Style wise [René] belongs to the European fashion scene adding a Danish sense of shape and function.”

Stolen Girlfriends Club Fall 2009 2008-09-18 11:43:33 London Fashion Week has been moving so slow. I’m internally grateful for the start of New Zealand Fashion Week. The highlight so far has been the fall 2009 collection of Stolen Girlfriends
Club. It is a plaid paradise. Just when I thought that I could not tolerate one more glimpse of red plaid, here comes this collection. The runway of torn jeans and flannel is reminiscent of the late
Nom de Guerre Spring 2009 2008-09-18 11:22:59
Nom de Guerre is back with spring. I loved their fall 2007 and spring 2008 collections, but I failed to see any individual pieces in the fall 2008 collection that left me excited. Continuing with their militant inspiration, this season has a lot dark hyper-masculine “smart” jackets and trousers, but also includes what I would consider “training” inspired gear. A lo Read more:Spring
Hood By Air Fall 2008 2008-09-18 11:07:10
I think that Hood By Air is perfectly represented by their definition of BANJEE:
“A term that describes a certain type of person who dresses in masculine, hyper-modern fashion for reasons which may include expressing power and being attractive…or unattractive.”

Unconditional Spring 2009 2008-09-18 11:04:56
I’ve got my eye on Unconditional. It’s not a stretch that great success is in designer Philip Stephen’s future. Unconditional began five and half years ago in London. Unconditional has been a staple of London Fashion Week for the past five seasons, but Philip Stephens is about to embark on the road to expand the presence of his line. I tend to stir away from heavy embe Read more:Spring
John Rocha Spring 2009 2008-09-17 02:21:08
“I am not driven by trend, I think perhaps my style is more about exploring a sense of beauty in silhouette and surface and texture. Each collection is an organic development of ideas that may have begun the previous season, and through which I consider the form and the details. So for me there is a natural progression between collections. In all my work I hope to create pieces that are b Read more:Spring
Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 2008-09-17 02:12:51
I’m having a moment. I feel like I’ve seen this collection before and its old, but I’ve double checked the Marc Jacobs
website repeatedly and it is in fact labeled Spring
2009. Regardless, I never fail to see pieces in the Marc Jacobs
or Marc by Marc Jacobs collection that define the season and are found in many incarnations. The skinny belts and the long black cotton sho
Todd Lynn Spring 2009 2008-09-17 02:05:05
Todd Lynn is one of the New Gen designers sponsored by the British Fashion Council and Topshop. New Gen offers a scholarship to designers and a place to showcase their work. Lynn is off to a great start. Although Lynn specializes in women’s wear, he recently collaborated with Topman to create a pair of trousers for the Black Trouser Project. For this upcoming spring season, Lynn sent four Read more:Spring
Lovers & Fuckers Fall 2008 2008-09-17 01:52:42
Argentina’s Answer to April 77
“I don’t have a definite design philosophy, I simply take my personal taste down to the clothes I design and hope people will identify with them, that is what makes me happy and moves me to keep on working. I hope my business can grow as much as possible, but I don’t want to turn this project into something very very commercial, I would l Read more:Lovers

Hood By Air Spring 2009 2008-10-06 02:35:27
Hood By Air is moving forward and showing great growth in their spring collection. The attention to texture is phenomenal. The various textures make the already interesting silhouettes lust worthy. The standout piece has to be the pleated shorts featured in the last picture. The below the knee length paired with exaggerated pleats on the front and a smooth back are visually appealing a Read more:Spring

Göran Sundberg Fall 2008 2008-10-03 02:42:34
“All this experience, and not the least my theoretical education, has led to new perspectives now when I am back working with fashion”, Göran says. “One might ask why fashion is so interesting”, he says. “For me fashion is so much; its creativity, marketing work, a sociological aspect and communication”, he continues. “Fashion has to have a relation to present day and everythi
Reborn Shades 2008-10-03 02:25:09
“I think eyewear is the most personal accessory there is. It touches your ears and nose, covers your eyes and your identity (if big enough) and protects you from nasty looks when you are in need of four walls and a shut door. Eyewear, when correctly chosen enhances personality and style. Lots of people are recognized by the character their eyewear gives them, people like Andy Warhol and Ter Read more:Reborn

Manpris Epidemic Revived 2008-10-02 13:45:41
After leaving my class, which the professor thought lasted longer than it did making for an awkward extended five minutes, I headed to the coffee cart for a nice pick me up. Let me halt this story for two seconds to express how estatic I am that nine more weeks and I will be a college graduate. Good riddance! Continuing on, I was standing in line contemplating rather to get a latte or a hot
Sadak 2008/2009 2008-10-02 11:14:48
Sadak is the ancient name for a traditional sleeveless jacket worn in some regions of the Balkans. The preserved magical meaning of sadak in its original oral and visual context is transformed and adapted to contemporary reality, becoming independent through the development or construction of forms, figures, motifs, magical objects, statements, temporal codes of society, space, objects and fun

Beat Poët Spring 2008/09 2008-10-22 02:43:23
Let’s take a quick look at Beat Poët. The line initially emerged from the German label Punkt Linie Fläche in 2005. The line then moved to Melbourne, Australia, and now resides in Sydney where it has set roots.
Beat Poët has just released its spring 2008/2009 collection. One word that quickly comes to mind when describing the new collection is LONG. The collec Read more:Spring
Boski Spring 2008/09 2008-10-21 02:26:55
BOSKI - Here comes another designer out of Melbourne, Australia. Nick Mahoney created Boski in 2004. The line started with the production of a small selection of graphic tees and has since branched out to include jackets and jeans. The line continues to grow with each season. Stay tuned. Don’t the best things always come in small packages?
