THE RETURN OF THE GENTLEMAN ♣ SARTORIAL AIR

street style 50's 2Today is not vintage Friday but I couldn’t wait to share this image  . This photo gives me enough air to blow off a top hat . Stumbling on photos like these  that date back to the 50′s makes  me appreciate certain aspects of me wear that I tend to over look . What’s the point in prancing around in a suit ? This is every reason and more . The cut , the drape of fabric and the  exuberant display of panache  clearly takes credit away from the photographer without intention, of course  . Happy midweek ♣

Buy.Collect.Obsess ♣ HVRMINN Fall Winter 2013 collection

hvrminn-fw13-05-539x630 ♣ Bring on the exaggeration ! I am completely in love with New York brand Hvrmin debut ready to wear collection . Exquisite tailoring and majestic lapels makes this collection a personal favorite . I basically chucked out all my slim ties when I fell in love with the majestic presence of a wide lapel , they are as bold as a man should be . The cut on the exaggerated lapels on the shawl  collared jacket is a winner, and the little detail on the sleeves is my idea of a perfect tweak   . i  applaud Hvrmin for sticking to the classics and not leaving any  stone unturned  right down to the perfectly styled look book .

THE COLE+KID JOURNAL ♣ IVY LEAGUE

_MG_7799 If there is one thing I regret not doing its not storming through lecture halls looking like I was related to the Kennedys. The preppy look is considered very American  but it’s no secret that  gentlemen around the globe appreciate the aesthetic around it. The preppy look is very classy with a healthy twist youthful edge; it’s actually the only terrain that I adore the use of loud colors. I am not a fun of too much color in a man’s wardrobe but I appreciate the use of loud colors here, it’s not blocked but fused, that means it’s paired with dark and earthy tomes which I find very mature and edgy. ♣ Read More

MEN’S STYLE ♣ WHY DON’T I LOOK LIKE THIS?

♣ First of all you don’t look like this because you think it takes a trust fund and sudden case of Alzheimers on your landlord to pull off a suit like this  .  Read More

SPOTLIGHT | VALENTINO RESORT COLLECTION 2013

If God placed me at the door in heaven I would probably let any woman in valentine’s resort collection walk right it in . I am not a runway fanatic mainly because fashion doesn’t really have a good number of designers with soul , everybody is in the for the business and just that but there are a few I keep checking for pure consistency . Valentino’s resort collection 2013 has managed to fuse three of my favorite elements together when it comes to womens wear , from the tailoring, the 50’s inspired cuts and floral patterns valentino nailed it with this. I would gladly skip rent just to have the mrs in these . VIEW THE COLLECTION HERE >>>> Read More
