Is designing a safe collection risking a designer's integrity for marketability? Yes they need to put food on the table at the end of the day, but are sales really gauranteed from today's savvy consumers?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Progressive designers that challenge traditional men's wear. </span> I love designers like Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, Rad Hounari, Mihara Yasuhiro, Rick Owens, Raf Simons and Damir Doma, because they continue to offer (in their respective aestheics) a new direction in men's wear, that mainly appeal to fashion forward males who don't want to look like Ralph Lauren clones. Though some fashion critics may argue that these designers rehash the same ideas each season, I say that these men are our beacons of hope in transforming the male aesthic and promote individuality a notion that commercial fashion and media erases.<br /><br />3.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Stylists are the new fashion gate keepers. </span> As Wayne mentioned in his post on The Imagist, uber stylist like Katie Grand are the new arbiters of fashion, instead of a rave review from Suzy Menkes. But again only those in the fashion world pay attention to fashion editorials in European glossies, I've yet to see a creative shoot in INStyle..... and yes you won't read a review by a top critic in a mainstream mag as well!<br /><br />I know at the end of the day it's just clothes that we need to cover bodies, but we may as well create a fantasy, have fun and express ourselves with these items!Lincolnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721010365308614007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095617621410974804.post-79271954837582523132009-06-19T00:45:00.000-07:002009-06-19T00:47:49.434-07:00Baby it's hot outside!

A few years ago Pons ventured into jewelery design with <b>Magnetik Distractions</b>, a piece based on a simple ball chain and a magnetized bearing, that can be worn in multiple ways from a necklace to a ring. To add more style cred to his attractive invention, Pons created a magnetized ring and a "Rebix cube" (play off of the original Rubik's cube) in silver or gold. With a 200 cm thin chain and some ingenuity you'll have tons of styling options to accessorize your summer look. I love the cube version and can't stop tinkering around with my designs! The magnet is very strong, but do not wear if you plan on dancing or running! Images of my own designs to follow...

His clothes are made for those who prefer to be noticed in a crowd, than hiding in a corner.<br />I'm loving his Spring 09 looks and his hooded one-piece is perfect to run around town this season!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5WvjjmZDjECBbByNmR9wjIRpEWrkCQ3XDrUW-I8UqmrGZn248HRMgsc3AXQB9SNClZIOqDe6Mli9ytKEcGSLc2089JqGzZmgvI5E1p190RZNT0jF1wmcdNxZ4SVEGJKgoWgIgM4XIAOf/s1600-h/look_20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5WvjjmZDjECBbByNmR9wjIRpEWrkCQ3XDrUW-I8UqmrGZn248HRMgsc3AXQB9SNClZIOqDe6Mli9ytKEcGSLc2089JqGzZmgvI5E1p190RZNT0jF1wmcdNxZ4SVEGJKgoWgIgM4XIAOf/s400/look_20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314588157724830370" border="0" /></a>Lincolnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721010365308614007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095617621410974804.post-63134285273290635572009-03-18T05:52:00.000-07:002009-03-18T06:13:35.189-07:00Batty over Odyn Vovk<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXiwaovWbkpDyfkzpLjHU-qVNtUHegTXl9CX6X7RPSPwHzIUc9dO09VKhOawXL9S85G-NTRZ5RTKXOfzr-TvPufyFo4cF-lS2CfNtm9pFpvo5Lr2MbOsSaxHrB6DvKt-FYMOmZsSHwD_sG/s1600-h/OVOV-MO4_V1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXiwaovWbkpDyfkzpLjHU-qVNtUHegTXl9CX6X7RPSPwHzIUc9dO09VKhOawXL9S85G-NTRZ5RTKXOfzr-TvPufyFo4cF-lS2CfNtm9pFpvo5Lr2MbOsSaxHrB6DvKt-FYMOmZsSHwD_sG/s400/OVOV-MO4_V1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314514636836428754" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This amazing "Bat Shaket" cardigan by <a href="http://www.odynvovk.com/">Odyn Vovk </a>stirs my love of long lean looks in black.
