Thimister Autumn Couture 2010
A slightly lazy day at this afternoon as I can feel some dreaded lurgy mounting and my temperature mounting, so as a reward for a good meeting this morning I deicded to flcik through the Haute Couture shows. Safe for work design porn if you will. I’ll come back to the utter genius of Galliano, and the Dior Couture collection later. But it was Thimister (who much to my shame I’ve never...

Neil Barrett - update
Just a quick one, I think I did Neil Barrett a disservice yesterday as I forgot completely his amazing double lapel coats and jackets! Muppet! But there you go.
They were new fresh and exciting and I want one.

Trussardi 1911
Clearly I have been some kind of fashion ostrich with my head in the sand as Trussardi 1911, have only hit my fashion radar last season. Needless to say I’m in love! Buy it for me now please!
For me this collection hits all the trends being evoked this season. Masculinity, ruggedness and military. But it does so whilst simultaneously exuding a warm luxury through the colour palette and...

Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana had a very extensive show drawing inspiration from their Sicilian origins, and the films surrounding that beautiful isle.
With a vast array of styles and looks to dip in and out of the buyers must have been pleases as an army of buff models strode down the runway. Returning to their heritage always works wonders for Domenico and Stefano. Opening the Milan shows, the pair...

C. P. Company
C. P. Company had a good show that really epitomised their brand. Their strength is most definitely in their casualwear and the rugged nature of the looks spoke again to more honed form of masculinity that would become evident throughout the week.

Burberry Prorsum
So I’ve finally found sometime this week to start blogging about a fashion week that closed yesterday. I’m rubbish I know, but that’ll teach me to save the images to my works computer and then get ridiculously busy at work.
Anyway, here are some of my favourite looks from Burberry. The military look is clearly going to be huge next Winter as it has cropped up on several...

Milan Show Reviews
So today is the final day of the Menswear shows in Milan. I’ve been busy gleaming my favourite looks from everyone and will post a review on the shows as soon as I can. But so far soo good. The main thread of this season is without a doubt the Military and Masculinity. Be it the rugged yet polished mafioso of Sciliy or the British Officer in his Burberry trench, next winter is a time for men...

The Times Article - The Day I decided to stop...
Today in the Times I found a rather odd article from someone who apparently just stopped being gay, on seeing the love between a father and his son. More than a little annoyed by this mans attitude I decided to comment in response, the text of which you’ll find below. I could have written more but honestly whats the point. I was shocked by the responses of some proclaiming the man as having...
Milan!!!
Milan menswear begins today and with it the first round of shows this decade. Unfortunately couldn’t get to Pitti in Florence this week. But will blog about that once images start to come through.
In the meantime Milan launches with 4 days of immense shows and hopefully astounding clothes. With D&G today, followed by Burberry (live streamed on GQ.com) it’s a great start. Though...

The Boys need a good Spanx
Spanx for the Boys,
This time its not just the naughty boys who are inline for some spanx! Even the good boys could possibly do with some these days, especially in the post Christmas months before the Jan resolutions have worked their magic.
Now clean your minds out its nothing as fun as a little Hanky Panky early 90s Madonna styley, Spanx are what uber stylists like Gok have been using for...

Vodka destroys Vintage Funk! →
Vodka gets rid of that musky smell form Vintage clothes. Bonus!
Now the question remains…do you use Grey Goose or Glens? Will the Grey Goose leave you smelling like a pretentious lush, or will Glens have a distinct student/ trap air to it? The dilemas we face.
