Back to the future this Fall

We weren’t quite done with our winter wardrobes yet but Milan’s fashion designers decided to tease us with their predictions for men’s Fall fashion 2007 anyway. Sombre, classsic, retro: all the buzzwords of seasons gone by were thrown out the show-window and Dolce & Gabbana set the mood for the coming autumn with their, and you have to hold your breath for this one, space-age glitter!! Dolce & Gabbana’s new collection, themed on the film 2001 – A Space Odyssey, with space-suit style zip-heavy jumpsuits in whites and metallic colours, jazzed up the catwalk as the lights flicked from blue to white and the film’s soundtrack filled the converted cinema, leaving the audience of over 1000 reporters, buyers and photographers mesmerised. Sharp-lined suits in metallic colours with razor-thin ties in black, gold and gun metal with white shirts peeping out from under the jumpsuits and the slicker suits. Metallic knitwear, in both chunky, country-style shapes and slim-fitting, echoed the space theme. “I was a bit overwhelmed that there was so much stuff that just looked fantastic,” said Jake Shears of glam rock band the Scissor Sisters Shears. “I love the slim silhouette. I’m crazy about it because I know that it fits me, because I’m a little guy.” He picked out bronze metallic suits and white leather lean tailored jackets over jeans as especially attractive to wear. Sunday’s show saw Platinum-blonde Donatella Versace continuing the more muted approach with her models strutting down the catwalks in black, military-style coats and suits. The straight, slim silhouette marked a further departure from her trademark flamboyant style, already seen at the menswear spring-summer show in June 2006. Black-and-white blooms of bowties added a twist to elegant, sombre evening wear while kingfisher flashes or red scars of plastic livened up black jumpers. Versace’s “Noble Chic” show included some women’s wear too. The little black dresses bore similar flashy splashes and were teamed up with achingly high shiny heeled shoes. This week Milan will host over 1200 photographers and reporters, along with major international buyers. There are 51 shows till January 18 for 50 brands. Big names on show during the week include Roberto Cavalli, Prada and Gucci. On Wednesday Giorgio Armani presents at venues across the city, from Dolce & Gabbana’s converted cinema to the stock market. Belstaff too promises a collection inspired by Steve McQueen for Wednesday. Nobel literature laureate Dario Fo may have lamented last week that catwalk shows are boring but he will himself introduce Romeo Gigli’s show on January 18, closing the week’s events. The 80-year-old playwright will grace a catwalk that will be surrounded by life-sized reproductions of Renaissance paintings of an imperial triumph. “The shows are … a great sounding board and a great public relations instrument,” Dolce & Gabbana said.

Rapper Biz Markie to launch fashion lines

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:34:00 +0000

New York rapper and DJ Biz Markie is launching two clothing collections. The musician is following in the footsteps of rappers Sean John and 50 Cent, who have successfully launched their clothing lines. Markie says that his clothing line is ‘funky’ and said, ‘We just didn’t want to slap a name on it. We want to fill a void in the market and this takes time to develop’. ‘One of the lines will feature mid priced T-shirts and jeans and the other one will consist of designer collections and tailored suits,’ explains Natalie Hoo from Portuguese based Textile Company, Win-Win textiles, who has been hired by Markie to provide creative direction for the two lines. ‘We’ll do things differently and tone it down so that it’s wearable both day and night. The first looks will appear in the club and at our parties, not on the runway,’ said Hoo. Hoo says that the lines which will a pay homage to the relationship of ink and flesh, will be based on a different technique. He explains that one will not be able to feel the ink in the garment on touching it. Via

Bond with the Budgie

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:38:00 +0000

So it took Daniel Craig’s sexy trudge out of the ocean in the new Bond flick in those now-legendary pale blue La Perla speedos to make the world stand up and recognize the budgie as the next big style trend in men’s swimwear. For long, a man’s choice of beachwear had been deemed a reflection of his sexual orientation. But with the advent of the metro-sexual man, the choice no longer remains between the extremes of a pair of racing briefs or baggy shorts. Today men’s swimwear market is overflowing with styles, colors, fabrics and prints to choose from, and being bright, colorful and sexy is very, very permissible. ‘You wouldn’t say there’s one trend. But there’s more variety out there for men now.’ Kelly Ingersole, a buyer for retail chain Swimwear Galore, has been keeping an eye on the demand for the new kind of swimwear. ‘Men are looking for more high-fashion items, and bold tropical prints.” The demand for trendier, brighter and more attention grabbing beachwear in men’s section has gone up says Dean White, of Bang Clothing in Prahran, who sells the hugely popular aussieBum range and imports a lot of labels from the U.S. and Brazil, such as Rufskin and Pistol Pete. “We’re selling a lot of white and bright colors. There’s a lot of 1970s and retro cuts around.” Sleeker, sexier, more stylish and definitely much smaller swimwear is now set to do the rounds across the beaches of the world. Clement Chuah, of new Melbourne men’s fashion label Clemente Talarico, says,”Once upon a time, only a very small minority of men, the gay guys, was interested in looking hot, but now it ranges across the general public.” Chuah designed his new range to “enhance the masculinity of the male form”, and has gone for an upmarket, retro St Tropez feel. And responding to the public debate over the propriety of these short shorts, he has focused on improving the hold of the garment “It’s also much more chlorine-resistant so it lasts longer and the colors will hold. And you can do laps in them.’ He’s has used Italian Lycra, which has a higher density than normal Lycra, so the trunks hold their form. Not too long ago millionaire hotelier Justin Hemmes, was dubbed an “offender” for wearing Speedos by a Sydney tabloid newspaper, while Prime minister-in-waiting Malcolm Turnbull was criticized in The Australian for “parading in ill-advised budgie smugglers that left very, very little to the imagination and were stupendously un-prime ministerial”. But times are changing. The modern man is not too shy to show off his assets, and wearing a bright budgie smuggler to the local beach isn’t as taboo as it used to be. The notion that manly bumps are shameful and unsightly and should be covered up with haggardly baggy board shorts is dated. And the creators of Casino Royale obviously agree. Source

Humorous undies

The world is full of funny people. The world is also full of gizmo freaks. And sometimes funny gizmo freaks like to experiment with underwear. Take a look at these inventions. Cozy Seamless Man Mitt aka Willie Warmer aka Peter Heater. This Man Mitt is called “Jingle all the Way!” This is a hand knitted seamless male undergarment accessory created for comfort and warmth. The crocheted tie makes this piece adjustable for a comfortable fit. This Man Mitt is made with very soft chunky yarn (100% acrylic) for comfort and easy care. (Machine wash and dry). It features two tiny bells attached to the tie, which are very festive and make this mitt a great Christmas gift idea. Not sure how much practical function it might serve but it’s sure bound to be a great anecdote for years. And of course if you’re looking for something different for the missus it also makes a handy dandy little coin purse with side cell phone pocket. “UNDER-EASE” Anti-Flatulence Underwear Did you always want to go to one of those ‘All-you-can-eat’ diners and free buffets, but had to pass up because you were a victim of a little, er, flatulence? Well, the wait is finally over. Yes, world’s first fart-free undies are here. Merchant says “Under-Ease is underwear for protection against bad human gas (malodorous flatus) and is made from a soft air-tight fabric (polyurethane-coated nylon). To maintain the air-tightness, elastic is sewn into the material around the waist and both legs. A triangular “exit hole” for the flatus to be expelled is cut from the back of the air-tight underwear, near the bottom. This “exit hole” is covered with a “pocket” made of ordinary porous fabric sewn over the “exit hole”. This unique design forces all expelled gas (flatus) out through the “pocket”. Inside the “pocket” is a high-functioning, replaceable filter – the core of the technology. … In the center of the filter is a single layer of activated carbon. A great invention for your great-uncle Ned, and a true blessing for the rest of the family. Black Velcro Thong Do you always get nagged by your wife/girlfriend about how you two never ‘talk’ anymore? Well, with the new Black Velcro Thong, you will be able to satisfy all her conversational needs. Each thong comes with a pack of 40 consonants, 16 vowels and a selection of punctuation marks.

Now if they could only invent underwear that listens… Source

Bush humor

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:31:00 +0000

This pic reminded me that it’s been a long time since I read a really good George Bush joke. I found one today, so here you go: Bill Clinton, Al Gore and George W. Bush went to a fitness spa for some fun. After a stimulating, healthy lunch, all three decided to visit the men’s room where they found a strange-looking gentleman sitting at the entrance. He said, ‘Welcome to the gentlemen’s room. Be sure to check out our newest feature, a mirror that, if you look into it and say something truthful, you will be rewarded with your wish. But be warned, if you say something false, you will be sucked into the mirror to live in a void of nothingness for all eternity!’ The three men quickly entered and upon finding the mirror, Bill Clinton stepped up and said, ‘I think I’m the most intelligent of us three,’ and he suddenly found the keys to a brand new Bentley in his hands. Al Gore stepped up and said, ‘I think I’m the most ambitious of us three,’ and in an instant, he was surrounded by a pile of money to fund his next Presidential Campaign. Excited over the possibility of finally having a wish come true, George W. Bush looked into the mirror and said, ‘I think…,’ and was instantly sucked into the mirror. Lol… Anyway, have a nice day!

Chic stubble

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:33:00 +0000

Look romantic, sophisticated, cool rugged or even refined with designer stubble. Depending on which way you wear it, a well groomed light hint of facial hair is one of the lasting facial hair trends that works for so many different men, stubble can work for you too. Designer stubble is a rugged way to add interest to your face without sporting a full beard, and it has a dashing, almost dangerous appeal that mustaches and goatees simply don’t have. Designer stubble can give your jaw a more angular look, and minimize a soft jaw or double chin if you have a ‘baby face’ with rounded cheeks and an overall cherubic look. Try pairing your stubble with messy bangs or a layered haircut to add a little more angularity to a soft face shape. If wearing suits every day and overly formal environment at work is getting you down, then a little stubble can add that edge to your appearance. And if you groom regularly it might just be very acceptable in your office as well. Shave every couple of days to keep your shadow effect from sprouting into a full beard. To maintain your designer stubble look, you can decide whether or not you’d like to shave your neckline close to keep your stubble more polished. Pay attention to how fast your facial hair grows and stay trimmed. Designer stubble is an ongoing process of upkeep, so you can’t just shape it and leave it. Because your designer stubble is close to the skin, it’s even more important to cleanse your facial hair properly. Use a Beard Conditioner after you wash your face completely to keep your stubble soft, but don’t use too much! Be careful not to get an uneven or patchy appearance. For best results, try a groomer for selecting just the right level of stubble. The blades are perfect for trimming and maintaining your designer stubble. Designer stubble rules over other facial hair looks simply by its staying power. And although it has been more popular these past few years, it’s a look that will never truly disappear.

The big Fall trend: Marni’s leggings

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:32:00 +0000

The big buzz at the debut Marni men’s runway show at the Milan Fashion Week is all about legs. Or leggings, to be more precise. Interestingly the new must-haves for men this coming fall will be a pair of leggings to be worn outside, and not just not just in, the house. Almost half the looks in this picturesque and unexpected collection had models wearing leggings made of microfiber cotton and wool. except a couple of pairs cut above the knee nearly all featured stirrup straps with colors as reassuring as violet, forest green and Milan fog gray. Paired with mercerized cotton jerkins, snug little Rude Boy with manners jackets and Two Tone era skinny ties, these leggings stole the show. Marni shoes were also real winners, with knobby workerist boots in bottle green or metallic gray with subtle strips of contrasting color like burgundy leading the pack. “Unconventional but sophisticated,” smiled Consuelo Castiglioni, Marni’s Creative Director, backstage after the show. So what are the odds that we will actually see guys on the street wearing a pair? I guess we’ll just have to wait till fall for this one to unravel. Via: Fashionwiredaily
