For those who experience cooler summers, the organic sweaters, pullovers, and hoodies are perfect choice. <br />I have also thrown in some images of Marc O’Polo shoes, which come in leather or suede and a variety of colors. <br />Besides travelers who want to look sharp on their journeys, the collection is ideal for engineers, facility managers, campus life, and young professionals who want to look relaxed and casual but still ready for business. <br />So, now, I guess it’s “Bon voyage”!

As you might guess, the combination of bank bailouts, fat cat bonuses and dwindling 401K accounts meant we were not the most popular guys around at the time. In order to rebuild our business we needed to stand out from the herd. Par t of this involved projecting the right image. In other words, we had to look good.</p><p>We soon discovered that a few well-chosen accessories didn’t just add to our suits, they made the outfit. A great t ie helped us to project that cool, calm and confident look we were striving for. But it was difficult finding such ties and accessories at the right pr ice. We were disappointed with what was on offer and we knew we could do better. The result is Tie Trader, a company guided by 3 simple principles: quality, design, and value.</p><p>Our products combine the spirit of Wall Street with top quality and great design. All Tie Trader t ies are made from the highest quality silk and are designed so as to be both modern and timeless. They all come in our signature beech wood-hued box. Don’t throw it out, it’s the perfect place to store your t ie the right way - rolled, not hung (so as to avoid creases). And yes, that is the bull and the bear in our logo, old symbols of Wall Street, traders, markets and the economy.</p><p>Tie Trader is all about drive, success and looking good enough to earn that ridiculously huge bonus. So put on one of our power t ies and embrace your inner CEO. Add in some cuff links to seal the deal. And get all this at a faircost. After all, as value investors, we believe the secret to a good investment is buying at the right pr ice. So let us do our bit to help you get the confidence that comes from being “in the money”.</p><p>Check out more ties.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Tie Trader.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-65592672701770405892017-01-30T05:52:00.000-08:002017-01-30T05:52:04.016-08:00“Spaceman” by Ivan Arreola<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMCX12Go-KtCMnqcq9lAllmeCKkP8tAXEAGoWJNTBAiL29hP_tx9sBYatclyJYs2c3bxy0PQAdMfTbKLcFBeB-YUqpZgPPnAgYyFCu2y9tKCM_5y_76v1lf2Hn2dUPXf8LY3nl17s5tCU/s1111/imagen_1.jpeg" /></figure><p>For the autumn/winter 2016 collection called “Spaceman,” Ivan Arreola was inspired by the classic space suit and the space age movement, taking the colors and the architectural lines to create a conceptual yet wearable collection.</p><p>Modeling the collection is Ernesto Martínez and Richard Betancourt of the Tony Barragan Modeling Studio.</p><p>See the collection.</p><p>Photos Copyright Ivan Arreola.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-9709097752660812792017-01-29T15:13:00.000-08:002017-01-29T15:13:03.031-08:00Barboni di Lusso—Luxury Bumbs from Italy!<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrq_pdSuRT6oXFh892YKE_d6lHUcWEzo_OyOjV5GucK4vJPVX05192xCuXMoIl5Vi6umM1tuqBrUwHTPBFzvGxFIOEjhAfiu3oU9nNNQ1XhCObtuixuYFIf1SrnX3TneDAkqBP7ifpQIE/s1111/1.JPG" /></figure><p>According to a Latin motto, to be a street person is a choice—and such a choice is the mission of Barboni di Lusso.</p><p>Barboni di Lusso, literally “Street People of Luxury,” is the brand for the man who distinguishes himself by being one of a kind—unique.</p><p>The Barboni di Lusso kind-of-guy is not afraid to subject himself to prejudice, taking on a life of freedom outside every sort of slavery imposed by the dicats of fashion.</p><p>Barboni di Lusso is the brainchild of Paolo Atti, who at a university conference on marketing showed up in a white t-shirt with the words “street people of luxury,” which were written with a brush.</p><p>The attention that was attracted by that simple tee led Paolo to launch his brand “Barboni di Lusso.”</p><p>Now, Barboni di Lusso offers a “total look” with shirts, plants, and accessories but always in the style of the street bumb!</p><p>For spring/summer 2016, Barboni di Lusso offers a choice of life: a luxury that stems from an expressive character definted by sporty posh!<br /><p>See the 2016 spring/summer collection.</p><p>Photos Copyright Barboni di Lusso, Courstesy S2B.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-22345787620456473462017-01-29T07:06:00.000-08:002017-01-29T07:06:03.686-08:00Stone Island Autumn/Winter 2016<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8zJTQ9_M0VJd7J3MW8NLPCBjObtJn_kKVuIhoq1WB_JJsKA3kZv9-aaH4XYm0Lji9J9ZfHuH-zBIk5HLPuK-rdPJTtt7sYCzDclYtWKUT3ysg9Tg3qd1TWzM7D0LKQQvm7fScXK6Uyk/s1111/look_19%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><p>Stone Island was created by chance, as we like to say, in 1982. At the time, the firm was called C.P. Company, as was the brand it produced. C.P. Company was considered the forefather of all Italian casual wear brands.</p><p>Its “subtitle” was ‘Ideas from Massimo Osti’ and Massimo, a graphic designer and intellectual from Bologna invented it. In the mid Seventies, he was the first to get interested in army surplus garments, to understand the importance of the enormous cultural wealth to be found in vintage markets in Italy, a territory that through the ages had seen so many ancient and modern armies pass by.</p><p>Massimo was the first to study the functional characteristics of these garments, cataloguing shapes, pockets, fastenings, garment accessories and studying the worn looks and faded colours that are so full of historical flavour.</p><p>In order to reproduce them, in Ravarino, in the province of Modena, he perfected a sophisticated garment dyeing laboratory and experimental print works. He began research into materials and weaves, mixing them, coating them and transforming them by dyeing the finished garments.</p><p>See more images.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Stone Island.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-38156054347569793562017-01-29T06:58:00.000-08:002017-01-29T06:58:01.250-08:00Onassis Clothing—Fitted, Fashionable & Fabulous<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1SJQ-ZHp7-Nu6bEQ1gqSs4wU3lE7WWc8znjkQocnqRiR5yn3QmTUUDmo6S_UCf5wyznjOtdwJrZrtAOjbTnaAlQW3s7wanPCwGea0V4AJTwl5aDvEqxFyFpxo4aYGF6pbprrAyxSpLM/s1111/6-29-2011+10-15-35+AM.png" /></figure><p>Today I received from Onassis Clothing an Oxford button-down collar shirt in a delicate cantaloupe color.</p><p>Perfectly washed, the 100% cotton woven fabric is both comfortable and fitted to the contours of my swimmer’s body—a rare find!</p><p>The Oxford is also graced with unique anchor-stitched Onassis buttons, which have been crafted by the oldest button maker in Japan.</p><p>I truly love this shirt, and, based on the quality, I can look forward to years of use.</p><p>As I clicked through the Onassis website, I discovered many additional fitted trends for the guy who seeks comfort and fit.</p><h2>About Onassis</h2><p>Onassis has design teams in New York and Tokyo, who, each season search the globe for inspiration.

Inspiration is taken from outdoor pursuits such as camping and hiking (think Mike Leigh’s 'Nuts in May), and the outfits worn by youngsters from the city adapting to country life as WWII evacuees.</p><p>A warm earthy palette of muted, khaki greens, burnt orange, and mustard yellow is set against mid brown, navy and camel, evoking a Seventies feel. Block color pieces are teamed with an eclectic mix of patterns to keep the collection looking modern—from bold nautical stripes on jumpers, a tiny Japanese fish eye, simple indigo floral, fairisle patterns on knits, and Navajo prints. A standout oriental Hawaiian print in vivid orange is undeniably fun, and adorns a men’s short sleeve shirt or a flirty ladies playsuit.</p><p>This is a summer collection with a truly British heritage feel, and as such focuses on lightweight shapes designed for layering. Men’s mountain parkas are light yet durable, lapelled work jackets in heavy cotton or dark denim are robust, yet both look great worn with plain basic tees and tank tops, and teamed with shorts or chinos. For girls, sweet summer dresses are toughened up when worn under lace -up front kagoules, and shawl collared waxed cotton duffle coats. Team with classic ankle socks and 40s style leather sandals or punched highland brogues.</p><p>Fabrics are tactile and meant for layering—imagine whimsical days spent in summer meadows. Natural fabrics are key—pigment dyed selvedge twill, soft basic cottons and poplins, and cotton linen knits, mix with beautiful silks, leather patch detailing, and selvedge chambray.<br />Warm touches are added with indigo fleece back jersey and chunky fairisle knits, perfect for cool summer evenings.</p><p>YMC collaborate once more with iconic outerwear label Gloverall to produce an exclusive Spring Summer 11 jacket—a simple waxed fisherman’s coat, featuring the characteristic Gloverall duffle fastenings in rope and wood, and a YMC design twist on a rounded collar. Available in three color ways from the palette of the summer collection—navy, brown, or classic fisherman yellow.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright YMC, Courtesy the Mantic.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-5695068050303100912017-01-28T06:24:00.000-08:002017-01-28T06:24:22.892-08:00Corino Coxxxano Spring/Summer 2016<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2HXsrnpkvlv_l5fB5sx8VbpxQujEYmkGgMIqoheQiUWMTlVi_Hy-BqRnLQ2Q0_-QvL-rZkrYb31xtoebtxfb3Y3zdCRtxt2KSWAnXRIj-tjRGDlLmGuSLfrNlKu7jxNz0YlvAiiKiZ5c/s1111/7-28-2011+10-21-28+AM.png" /></figure><h2>Wellness Begins with What One Wears Underneath</h2><p>Compelling designs and exquisite fabrics enrich the Berlin company’s demanding underwear scene.</p><p>The new image campaign was orchestrated by the famous American underwear model Barrett Pall and Sex and the City’s renown model, Markus Zierke.</p><p>Besides the quality of the three new collections—Haute Sculpture, Color Couture, and Water Couture—the brand pays special attention to unique, visual highlights.</p><p>The Coxxxano Haute Sculpture series—in classic white, black and gray—fits any occasion and comes in the form of pants and panties.</p><p>The collection Coxxxano Couture Colour, however, is inspired by the fresh colors of summer and enriches the underwear segment with vibrant color accents.</p><p>The trunks of the Coxxxano Water Couture line are mainly contrasted, keeping a tight-fitting two-tone pattern and fit, exuding a sporty look.</p><p>The swim shorts, by contrast, make their fresh floral print on a longer-cut style for certain nonchalance.</p><p>Corino Coxxxano appeals to a broad, open-minded audience of nearly all ages—but remains individual and mainstream at the same time.</p><p>Have a look at the sexy models.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Coxxxano.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-33653043992284890482017-01-28T04:49:00.000-08:002017-01-28T04:49:00.726-08:00Timothy Everest Spring/Summer<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxKpo0R-HseDs8a-VbNAQiKDK7fJ_a01jMTAvDwV8osaiM4zGo8eu6DsG4NgUhAWiLyK6zTdXAaYWt9hSK6CKV0LTL_IJwYGUV6vxGB93l8ZnU_V1uR7mZ_3dUem3w9vSacbrI0JmPjuQ/s1111/6-28-2011+8-43-38+AM.png" /></figure><p>“In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”</p><p>Albert Camus said that, but had he had access to these exemplars of Timothy Everest ready-to-wear savoir faire, he would have felt invincible without, as well as within.</p><p>Bask in these three seasonal ensembles (with a jug of Pimm’s in tailored sleeve’s reach);

It is a constant, reliable companion on both expeditions in icy conditions and wintry voyages of discovery to metropolises like New York, Moscow or – Berlin. Exclusively for the Berlin 14 oz. store, the oldest US-American outerwear brand Woolrich is re-releasing the legendary Arctic Parka in a limited edition of 600 coats worldwide for the A/W 2016/12 season: in five new colours and made for the first time from Byrd Cloth.</p><p>Karl-Heinz Müller, managing director and owner of 14 oz.: "There’s no getting past the Arctic Parka: it’s a classic, a must-have for every winter. With the limited special edition in five fantastic new colours we are joining forces with Woolrich to acknowledge the great popularity of the Arctic Parka at 14 oz."</p><p>Founded in 1830 by John Rich and his brothers, traditional company Woolrich is synonymous with functional and timeless jackets. The symbiosis of tradition and modernity, of long-lasting products and robust materials are the reasons behind the brand’s huge success. Woolrich originally designed the Arctic Parka for the workers constructing the pipeline from Alaska to North America in the year 1972. And to this very day the thick down filling still protects from extreme winds, persistent snowstorms and freezing cold temperatures as low as -40° Celsius. During winter, the adjustable hood with coyote fur trim is regularly seen protecting the ruddy faces of urban workers from wind, rain and snow.</p><p>The Arctic Parka made from Byrd Cloth is homage to the reliable functionality of the Woolrich classic – and based on the faithful reproduction of the rediscovered Byrd Cloth material, takes it one step further. In the 1930s Admiral E. Richard Byrd developed the fabric, which, due to the density of its structure alone, is water-repellent and windproof. He had it patented as the first American cotton fabric and it was successfully used during the Byrd Antarctica expedition in the year 1939. While researching for the new collection the Woolrich design team came across the historic fabric and asked an Italian fabric manufacturer to reproduce the matt, robust and breathable material.</p><p>Made in Italy to exacting quality standards Woolrich is presenting the Arctic Parka made from Byrd Cloth exclusively for 14 oz. in five clean and vibrant colour variations: Bottle Green, Bright Yellow, Royal Blue, Burnt Orange and Dark Navy. Special extras on the limited edition are the YKK metal zip and a second inside pocket with a press stud fastener and the Byrd Cloth label. Consecutive numbering on the joint Woolrich and 14 oz. label makes every parka a unique collector’s item. Thanks to its classic silhouette and the width-adjustable waistband the Arctic Parka fits both ladies and men and is available in sizes XXS-XXL.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright 14oz.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-24273377723819994512017-01-27T16:39:00.000-08:002017-01-27T16:39:01.959-08:00Tenue de Nîmes for Naked & Famous<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ7tSxDYr0tF5y0zqHFbwNBrqIYYZbnWFhVsDE6EvKgEj2hGR73QxlH0UaI4I_wATzMg-qYNk3xbGFylQ0f8_sJieAa5A9BtWlrjV418BQHXkVBG_njBdziKAWnOtEMVqcJPxpdxdm2Ho/s1111/naf_tdn15%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><p>Tenue de Nîmes has teamed up with the denim-heads at Naked and Famous for a limited run of 24 pairs of jeans in a 13oz green, rope-dyed army repro denim.</p><p>With admirable attention to detail, a team of people have gone all out on this project.</p><p>Specific attention has been paid to matching the shade of green perfectly.</p><p>The mid-green color proved a particular challenge since the dye is very unstable, but the hard work has paid off, giving us a beautiful and truly inspired color.</p><p>The production manager of the mill is obsessed with vintage army materials.</p><p>He has a jaw-dropping collection of old WW2 army fabrics such as uniforms, tents, tarps, bags from which the color for the warp of this particular denim was chosen.</p><p>The pocket lining is made from a fabric called 'Crusader' and is made in Montreal.</p><p>It is a rip-stop twill that is usually reserved for the shell of jackets worn by firefighters and military personnel.</p><p>The duo logo leather patch is made from 10oz thick natural veggie tanned bridal leather, most often used to make horse saddles.</p><p>Every single pair is hand-numbered, signed and shipped in a custom carrier bag with denim belt-loop fastening.</p><p>Made in Canada and limited to 24 pairs.

Four distinct trend lines are on display, each has substantive material, both visual and descriptive. Themes for both the men’s and women’s forecast are: Gold Medallist, Eco-Optimistic, World Remix, and Far-Off Lands. The report is a good overview to get retailers in the mood of the Fall/Winter 2016-12 season.

Because it is bold, majestic and charismatic. . . classicism is ideally up-to-date. It offers benchmarks for building, recomposing, and boldly reviving self-confidence and true elegance, those that are based on know-how, knowledge, and experience. A focus on classics with a radically contemporary and modern translation, allowing for offbeat and eccentric variations. <p>Hunting, horse riding, college and British traditions inspire our search for new key standards.</p><h2>Eco-Optimistic</h2><p>Eco-optimistic refocuses on an active and empathetic utopia, on co-production, on simple, sustainable and appealing solutions.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xq0sfi5F3iFC8QcFcrDGmVl8igxywfI3fVO4xLD6_XL85gPN03W4ufHQX-bCcKKoAZB-C5_HIpY182d08ptmz_AfUHpt6HUbTvOXLtC1-4fpaoEYrK1a5unpyaDoeVKN2s-oMy4fuUs/s1111/3.jpg" /></figure><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHGcrKptYxAZN4L6ZYYNVex7cOf6yzY1JAChILJYky4sHS_RlC7gY7EHexAhKMCX8GF-ON4igqfW1hKThqtYu8N58fSk4J3oNDcykC1DQrxaG3aXwVkQ1-xw1JUCECuQ7Km_PnO5fLsqg/s1111/4.jpg" /></figure><p><br />Make way for the community spirit, collective action, and creative collaborations, for a dynamic and solidarity-based utopia that will rebuild social ties and turn passive consumers into imaginative co-producers. This new generation of pragmatic altruism believes in the energizing power of enthusiasm, seeks simple, sustainable, alternative, local, fair and appealing solutions that aren't swamped in artificial lecturing and ideology. Basic, human and atypical solutions that are made for all those who have accepted the constraints of the modern world but take it with a dose of humor and hedonism.</p><p>With Eco-optimistic, we reinvent daily life by using color in a pragmatic and simple way.

Globalization has helped us realize the tremendous diversity and riches of this "world culture" that merges with notions of a positive and sustainable future. Like a long human saga of transmission, wanderlust and endurance, "Nomadology" and "Hybrid-age" are re-infused with meaning and essence.</p><p>In World Remix, we integrate all world cultures and rediscover the pioneer workwear for sustainable functionality.</p><p><br /><h2>Far-off Lands</h2><p>Far-off lands creates an essential imaginary parenthesis: a strange world of chimerical softness and galactic surges, where we are suspended between the year 1000 and an uncertain future.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR4v50F45K6qhlE1gN-ZmbzP_hh3XdRQddTmWHgQq1iFUAEQIWa7n-dWa_g27T2G0oZGmtX6kmrT7WfI-f8sVk0G7OZ7obVHzSusjbExOvtKWNIbrKn8bCupWz5KdTu3doFiqZUvAbu6M/s1111/7.png" /></figure><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLMyC7s4p51DtXVAey3KuBFkIti_0lWb0NYvk8sQMATF1mvNvx7MeiT60yjyok_Zc_B4FFiExuvDhiLZ_rTYifyn9SffaNRtzEMq9N14Hfg02ZXZ6FutIY6VA5qloaa3TNGpkhzyzN4II/s1111/8.png" /></figure><p>Once upon a time, living the natural life of frugal simplicity and unassuming beauty, a return to the source of neo-Shaker or Pre-Raphaelite neo-romanticism, of a symbiosis with flora and fauna. This enchanted "green" dream of softness and freshness inspires urbanites tired of the Fast track and Junk life. We want to infuse, in our lives, some utopia, ecological adventure and rethink our relationship to nature in an exploding, muffled, timeless world, a precursor of things to come. This is the prelude to a new movement.</p><p>To be in harmony with one's surroundings is essential. Nature inspires our way of life and adds poetry and softness to the wardrobe.</p><p>Report courtesy of: Peclers Paris and the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF).

They’ve been creating collections since 2007 for the style conscious man with a rebellious touch—the bad boy and the gentleman. After fashion shows in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, and Shanghai and several pop up stores, the time has come for the official opening of the first OntFront brand store.</p><p>The interior of the store reflects the character of OntFront perfectly: smart with a rugged twist. Espresso brown walls give a warm yet manly feel. The golden clothing racks (designed by architect ADA design) float above the collections as crowns of kings.</p><p>At the entrance, a large picture of a Zazou is portrayed: a dandy rebel from Paris in 1944. The Zazous were an infamous subculture during the Second World War. These youngsters showed their identity and vision on life through clothing and slick hairdos. It was the time of bebop and swing jazz. The Zazou represents everything that OntFront stands for: style, music, originality, vision and creativity.</p><p>Next to the collections of OntFront, accessories, shoes and perfume are being sold from labels like Spyker, United Nude, Van Well, Filling Pieces, Gourmet, Fromanteel, Von Eusersdorff and Pasotti Ombrelli. You can also find a classic bebop hat, tie, or bow tie. All must-haves to go through life as a modern Zazou.</p><p>See more shots of the store.</p><p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wF3ggR4aaTQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" type="text/html"></iframe></p><p>Photos & text Copyright OntFront.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-33749972996044168402017-01-25T08:08:00.000-08:002017-01-25T08:08:04.301-08:00Milan Men’s Wrap Up: Part II<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp6NgRh241VZAiNscxnv1qPjFVrNmfSj7F1375-Y5jCRlmEsUKk4pXybu7FLi6GO8wzYePQ3tGTyxZupYTst5GloMlF1-ftkW1wDlmCPcRpVt7qufXYvJyiPYiuvrvlYycyGvVd9tuBos/s1111/canali-finale7%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><p>As Milan Men’s Fashion Week Spring 2016 has come to a close and Paris Men’s is in full swing, I have been reflecting on the assorted collections that were shown last week in Italy.</p><p>While I applauded all the designers present, I listed the Roberto Cavalli collection as my favorite.</p><p>As runner up or close tie for first place comes the Canali collection, which boldly graced the runways with deep, rich colors.</p><p>The flavor was a taste of the Far East with ornate patterns, lush linens, and flowing silk scarves.</p><p>The combinations of styles—East and West—and textured fabrics combined with the sheerness of draped shirts threw a twist on the retro trend for an elegant, masculine look.</p><p>The styling of each outfit captured the season’s directional elements tying the knot between past and present in a manage ménage à trois among China, India, and Italian stying.</p><p>Photo Copyright Canali.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-12182283200964428632017-01-25T07:35:00.000-08:002017-01-25T07:35:10.761-08:00“Walking the Line” with Jimmy Choo & Mr. Porter<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiafazs4p4_E6yTwZqGDhIg6eSI4I9HMdtIX6RWmo44_f-k5p7WOoRRVF_8W31N_ya1deIBhc7lAGFvoBfzrm_hVSuZyOeD-q0rmsrzXfeMyp_HxOq9eI_7OSSnja-8yXp1jiC9VwWScDU/s1111/jimmychoo_mens_hero_img_00.jpg" /></figure><h2>Jimmy Choo Launches a Short Film in Collaboration with Mr. Porter</h2><p>Jimmy Choo are delighted to announce that Men’s Autumn/ Winter 2016 collection is now available to purchase.</p><p>To celebrate, Jimmy Choo has collaborated with MrPorter.com to create “Walking the Line” – a short film shot in New York City and featuring key styles from autumn/winter 2016 Collection.<br />The short film follows a man who takes risks in life by “Walking the Line”.</p><p>Shot in New York City the Jimmy Choo man will be seen walking many of the City’s eclectic linear elements, such as a crosswalk, the Brooklyn Bridge and the edge of a reflecting pool, all the while conveying a sense of impeccable style, masculinity and the perfect balance between classicism and Rock ‘n’ Roll style.</p><p>“I am thrilled to introduce men’s shoes to the Jimmy Choo world.

I also like the idea of modern and ancient myths. I live in New York but grew up in Rome with the Baroque and Classical architecture and sculpture everywhere. So I suppose this project is a combination of the two things, there are surfers, footballers, and classical gods all rolled into one in this film. I was looking at Italian Neo-Realist cinema and then post that, where Fellini and Pasolini become more about myth and fantasy. At the same time, I loved the idea and accessibility and that everyday voyeurism on Xtube. Fashion is always referencing pornography, so there was an element in doing this film of just ‘cutting out the middleman’, but it is an erotic fashion film nonetheless.”</p><p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XGcBoGEbi2M?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p>Photo Copyright Thierry Mugler.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-61877772392637252832017-01-23T05:05:00.000-08:002017-01-23T05:05:00.774-08:00Merckx Organic Prologue Pant by Amsterdam Blauw<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhGZ2SbCNHF3gIUPxnxqBfJT57oIMOMF-bkRnuL0WmWenKPBB_qCbHV42V9zNCVHiuBPadsOBNqh-wjcnkdWGr9Pl2rMqdB1sxur2vrsLOKNTJlBHopYXHn8oKXRAnydp1MjyPGh_iubA/s1111/S%2526S-Denim-W11-12-01336.jpg" /></figure><p>Fact: Organic and sustainable products are becoming an ever important part of our daily consumer lives; we try to buy our biological groceries from local producers, enjoy our ‘slow food’, recycle our waste whenever we can and wash our denims as little as possible. Amsterdam's Blauw pride in the organic lifestyle, sticking to a diet of sustainable product where possible alongside their obsession with cycling has resulted in The Merckx Jean.</p><p>Named after Eddy Merck—one of the world’s most talented cyclists ever and nicknamed ‘The Cannibal’ for his insatiable appetite for victories winning virtually every important race, most multiple times—Amsterdam’s Blauw are paying homage to one of the purist riders on the track and in the field with a specially constructed denim made specifically to ride in.</p><p>The custom tailored slim fit pant is made of 100% organic loom state green selvedge denim. The pockets have been reinforced with canvas taping for extra strength and the legs have been printed with special reflecting cuffs to be seen at night. It has a spoke wrench pocket and actual tool included, sealed with the limited edition world colors patch. These feature—in combination with cycling, which is 100% environmentally friendly and keeps you fit—completes the circle.</p><p>This ‘fixie’ pant and its community sits very close to the values and passions of Amsterdam’s Blauw: a remarkable community in its diversity and individuality. This informal crowd embraces all walks of society just as denim does. From punk rock to college guys. From bike freaks, hipsters and ageing fathers with mortgage repayments and office jobs and everything in between. Denim and cycling draw strong parallel. Two worlds become one through their mutual simplicity in both aesthetic appeal and flawless functionality. And both when used properly need little maintenance.</p><p>See more images.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Amsterdam Blauw.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-42502983684917504662017-01-23T05:03:00.000-08:002017-01-23T05:03:13.589-08:00The Kakadu Traders Vest<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnyEiaou1JNxsQ8r7Vi91aObS8JJ0-ViKwbDMKBDtQv2zej8865aCE8VL7-EAXEpojHnNHnNYIWjok3gLoomIzS6b1P47nbp8Gw8ce25xBa_k-HbS9kD6R4aKz89AGUnE2FoeT28qD_-U/s1111/1.JPG" /></figure><p>Kakadu Traders brings you the essential for the urban traveler.</p><p>From the outback to the concrete jungle this multi pocket utility vest is the perfect companion for the many needs of the sartorial urbanite, a functional piece in the fashion wardrobe.</p><p>Available in versatile waxed cotton for the ever unpredictable weather conditions.</p><p>Rain or shine fashion can be function (well priced to boot!).</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Kakadu.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-77723235971612342382017-01-22T19:02:00.000-08:002017-01-22T19:02:00.172-08:00Lavenham Jackets Autumn/Winter 2016: Luxurious Traditional Wear for the Great Outdoors<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSqwHYTPAuWTEoWr3zP1KiQb-eDgrzq0VKbexr-kEb5Ou7Zq8zsMfYcUHn67E4pNW4oSaWE9NCUX5h__wBYInSdsMH14sSOqaupUwU3CdjUweCMWgJB0pcxjm5_wXriakB9lB63GTeFcc/s1111/DENNINGTON+Black+Wax_Black_1.jpg" /></figure><p>The men’s Lavenham Autumn Winter collection for 2016 once again pushes the boundaries of traditional quilted outdoor wear and injects a youthful sense of luxurious country side living into a collection suited for either city strolling or woodland footpath walking.</p><p>For this collection Lavenham have delved deep into their 40-year-old archive to bring a collection inspired by traditional stable workers and of course all things equestrian.</p><p>Materials used this time around expand into the finest and more refined materials that Britain has to offer with British wools; British Millerain wax and high performance yarn dyed woven polyester.</p><p>See the collection.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Lavenham.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-63300570873956127752017-01-22T14:19:00.000-08:002017-01-22T14:19:05.753-08:00Versace for H&M<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwReGQZWE8EOpeOce1GqwGaB-y5Mi1EBimIQTvsq7OPm8-LJTYXIDDzZFbHWpXgMKuETziORoRViWRiZQdt5rXP-tQbpV3hAv82Y266kGrlnH6Lv7XyPmXD8YksX1a4-CArp-w_gkq6mU/s1111/image002%255B1%255D.png" /></figure><p>Donatella Versace, Creative Director of Versace, has announced a new collaboration with the Creative Director at H&M, Margaretha Van den Bosch.</p><p>The collection entitled Versace for H&M will be available November 17, 2016 in 300 H&M sales locations around the world.</p><p>It will be a glamour collection with a spirit of rock, including some iconic items from Versace in gold, leathers, and colored prints.</p><p>The collection will also include belts, jewelry, and some household items.</p><p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/S6U_-JIee_M?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p>Photo Courtesy Barracuda TV.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-41978731280576868492017-01-22T13:56:00.000-08:002017-01-22T13:56:02.314-08:00Simon Spurr Releases 5-Year Anniversary Denim<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0DqvROH7hreLl1OAE9cFE1Ed1-m4AWHrolZbFvrrhvg_CF6FOMrIkUvNCDG-3XZXqCqy3fry-zWSEs-Ah-8kR82ZKA33rLKgU26lD82x9llh-dAzyya5yJ4hcGH-KktaCrnjgQCjfBM/s1111/174407_mrp_in_l%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><p>After launching his eponymous denim line in the fall of 2006, menswear designer Simon Spurr has released a limited-edition jean to commemorate the company’s five-year anniversary.</p><p>Crafted with the finest details, the SIMON SPURR 5 Year Anniversary Jean uses wash details and hand-finished repairs inspired by the original pair that Spurr has worn over the past five years.

How to escape from daily cares, and create your own, romanticized, life. What is it that makes a man feel good about what he is wearing? For Sjaak Hullekes it means focusing on what is important, what is efficient, well made and what at the same time has a refined sense of style. The label brings you, every season, wearable clothing to be worn by a contemporary man; a modern dandy...</p><p>Men’s wear designer Sjaak Hullekes was born in the small town Zierikzee, The Netherlands, on the 8th of October 1981. He grew up there and went on to Arnhem to study fashion design at the ArtEZ institute for Arts and Design. He graduated in 2005 during the first Arnhem Fashion Biennale, from an academy widely known for earlier graduates like Alexander van Slobbe, Lucas Ossendrijver (Lanvin) and Viktor & Rolf.</p><p>After his graduation he founded his company ‘Arnheim Fashion’ together with his life partner and ex-classmate Sebastiaan Kramer (1985). Since January 2006 they both free-lanced for several (fashion) companies to get started in the fashion industry. Since then they have been working for Alexander van Slobbe, Christophe Molet, Tommy Hilfiger, Elle pret-a-porter, State-of-art and many more companies.</p><p>One year after they founded Arnheim Fashion together (January 2007), they introduced their men’s wear label ‘Sjaak Hullekes’ during the Amsterdam International Fashion Week. Sjaak Hullekes as being the creative director and designer, Sebastiaan Kramer as being the label’s managing director.</p><p>During the Milan and Paris men’s fashion week, June 2008, they introduced the Sjaak Hullekes brand to the international market at the White Homme and Rendez-vous Homme showrooms, which they continued during the next fashion week. Since last season on Sjaak Hullekes is represented during the Paris fashion week at Tranoi Homme.</p><p>November 2009, Sjaak won the Mercedes-Benz Dutch Fashion Award 2009. An International jury consisting important people from the fashion industry thought of Sjaak Hullekes being the best Dutch designer to take part of the international fashion industry.</p><p>The Sjaak Hullekes collections are mainly made at appreciated manufacturers in Belgium and the Netherlands, to guarantee precise knowledge and workmanship to the customer.</p><p>Check out the look book.</p><p>Photo & text Copyright Sjaak Hullekes, Courtesy Pressing Online.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-56475317630970258552017-01-22T13:38:00.000-08:002017-01-22T13:38:08.322-08:00Sjaak Hullekes Autumn/Winter 2016-2012<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Ztq5VH_L1GNNrDT6GDnqt-w-0jnOOGNnlR7t1endL_oy7F8WQQiCQp8LBEyU5EiutA3eFeCicPEi6Tzy9z-3A8nvMl7nER_l4jjsgI46TG_iyY_Ysab-yvLKVlaHR5K1orm-oj2X9RE/s1111/1-22-2011+12-36-32+PM.png" /></figure><p>A first trip to a city which is unknown to you will bring you, as a visitor, new inspiration. You are able to see specific things which a local does not see anymore. A bright and naive look at the metropolis will reveal the city in its purest way of being as you have never seen before. The allies all locals are familiar with since they live in the city; the birds sitting in front of many windows; the blades of grass in-between the old paving stones or many other things can be seen as annoying or worse to the locals, but those things will be new and fresh to you and makes you feel like a newborn child again.</p><p>Hullekes always tries to remember the beauty of every detail in daily life; he gained the ability of looking with a kind of naiveté as if something new and unseen occurs. Hullekes strongly believes in details, admiring the small things in life brings him the passion of living in today’s world. This love for details is always an element in his designs.</p><p>Sjaak Hullekes clothing will never shout down the inner you, it is for carrying out who you are and will never overshadow your own character. It will slightly underline the characteristic details of you. Wearers of Sjaak Hullekes appreciate the significant value of details in their lives, as it does to Hullekes, but also in fashion and their surroundings.</p><p>Hullekes latest Autumn/Winter collection is focused on this feeling more than ever. This collection will show that beauty is not the equivalent of new. Hullekes will show you the beauty within all you already knew. The collection stands for the right combination in detailing, fabrics, colors and craftsmanship. It visualizes finishing’s on the outside which are expected to be on the inside.</p><p>Facing the beauty of the inside which is as beautiful as the outside. This makes all detailing only known by its wearer, visible every time he dresses himself. Natural colors as brown, off-white, blue, camel, pale-blue, grey and green are used to underline the importance of nature in life. Nature always has been part of our world, long before caring about fashion. Nature is all about detailing; it is the essential of all the visible on Earth. This is why Hullekes has chosen the nature as his inspiration for the latest collection color pallet.</p><p>Mainly using fabrics of high quality wools and cottons Hullekes shows the importance of basics in life. He enjoys the many ways these two materials can be produced and used. The differences in weaving, knitting and coloring distinguish fabrics, even consisting of the same fibers. Sjaak Hullekes believes this is what life and especially the Autumn/Winter of 2016 is all about, the small differences which make a person unique.</p><p>The latest Sjaak Hullekes collection is one consisting of all essentials of a man’s wardrobe. A broad variation of shirts, blazers, jackets, coats, polo’s, cardigans and trousers makes this collection one to be suitable for many men. Men who are passionate about the fine and fluent nuances in our modern society.</p><p>See the collection.</p><p>Photo & text Copyright Sjaak Hullekes, Courtesy Pressing Online.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-59747083765773951992017-01-22T08:32:00.000-08:002022-05-05T15:43:59.852-07:00Paris Fashion Week SS 2017...

This patented system, called "Spin&Stow", makes it possible to fold our <a href="http://3dsunglasses.blogspot.com.au/">sunglasses so that they are completely flat</a>, which means they take up very little room when folded together. This provides greater freedom of movement since the wearer no longer needs to carry a big case around. What’s more, all models are very light and therefore comfortable to wear. </p><h2>The model lines</h2><p>The Spin&Stow models are divided into three different style groups. The "360° Power" line is sporty and places the focus on fun. In contrast, the "360° City" line has a more urbane look. These models represent urban living. The third line, called "360° Attitude," appeals to eyeglass wearers.</p><h2>Late summer trend</h2><p>The color palette is intended to harmonize with late summer and autumn. With "Spin&Stow" the sunglasses remain up to date right through autumn.</p><p>See the collection.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Götti Switzerland.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-81330582696683126442017-01-20T16:13:00.000-08:002017-01-20T16:13:01.470-08:00Reds 2016 Spring/Summer Collection<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH5daSAb96KKqS2XQ_WkgjUOuSUoGtWTVNkDUOkdgkiSFk2y3o2EFKturV0wJE_3l6aMvr2tZw4cV0lGJwEIH_vq8oIFQoccpQRpBNUrV_ZRKzuIzJu-2ykGNqe1W484d7cs-6jbOTjHM/s1111/reds+cover.JPG" /></figure><p>REDS source of reference is the 50's and 60's work wear. Apparel producers at that time had no concern about pricing but had only to make garments that functioned and lasted, with an outstanding quality. From this concept arose an era of manufacturing where surplus details were kept to a minimum, and the aesthetic was reflected in the function.</p><p>REDS design inspiration stays really close to this concept. We don't like a menswear that is too redundant and full of useless details, REDS is for real. Fits and shapes are updated to today's trends but durability and comfort are always our main considerations. All the fabrics used by REDS are developed to comply with our own requirements.</p><p>REDS signature fabric is a left hand gabardine: 3 ply on weft and 2 ply on warp with tight construction. The twist of the yarn gives the fabric strength while the weaving process gives a very soft hand feel. Our REDS Gabardine is an all season material used on all key chinos and pants. The look is consistently updated with seasonal washes and treatments to keep always new and intriguing.</p><p>REDS use only piece dyed fabrics, thus avoiding harmful finishes on the garment. We don't like garment dyed or any sort of dyeing processes that are easy to fade. Our garments fade out only through a long washing process and mostly through mechanical treatments. Colors are classic rather than seasonal.</p><p>REDS collection is focused on original yet up to date pants and shirts inspired to the garments used by Army, Aviation and Marine officers for operative tasks as well as on more specific models used by workers of various categories like carpenters, miners, diggers, cowboys, etc. The use of Denims and 5 pockets jeans is always related to special purpose pants and shirts.</p><p>REDS Marine, Fatigue, Squad, Combat, Carpenter and Chino Pants, together with Western, Union and Button down shirts are REDS "classics". Seasonal models, fits and fabrics are introduced every season to guarantee an always up to date proposal thus in keeping with the brand inspiration.</p><p>Check out more of the collection.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Reds, Courtesy Maria Licci PR.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-54727432422817221122017-01-20T13:57:00.000-08:002017-01-20T13:57:00.186-08:00“Happy!” by Desigual<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL_Zc4VlfzsgsXNjBeWmLa4NsNpHkpVTzSnSIS9ZEKlxPrM1sxqGR1WzCA4C_w6GJBXZDTTbh25Fwk0K9Ymf9ZAOxFYNylPEHn5rcrPDdC2Nt6VBMvudureZKc9OawHU5SWFKwBJJQJOg/s1111/18.jpg" /></figure><h2>Pure Optimism for Autumn/Winter 2016-12</h2><p>“Happy,” the new Desigual collection for this winter was conceived to respond to a series of challenges: To infect people with positivity, to provide added energy from each and every one of its seams, to convey warmth with its feel and inflame the senses with the mere contemplation of its myriad details.</p><p>Optimistic and inviting, “Happy” was conceived with a palette built around a set of colors designed to stimulate a warm feeling of wellbeing. A range of velvety hues (pinks, violets, greens and blues) are displayed in the most intense of tones.</p><h2>About Desigual</h2><p>Desigual began its life under the leitmotif ‘Desigual is not the same” back in 1984. The leading light was its 20-year-old Swiss founder and creative director, Thomas Meyer.</p><p>Today the company, jointly led by Manel Adell and Thomas Meyer, is present in 70 countries and has a staff of 1700 people of 25 different nationalities. It has 150 brand stores, 5,800 multi-brand clients and is present in 500 shop in shops or corners in leading department stores.</p><h2>Desigual Winter: Pea Coat</h2><p>Desigual introduce the perfect pea coat to keep you warm this winter. With a detachable puffa gilet inside, the patchwork pea coat combines Desigual’s fun attitude with winter warmers to create the ultimate cosy statement piece of the end of the season.</p><p>Photo & text Copyright Desigual, Courtesy Surgery Pr.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-42187550672238408062017-01-20T13:55:00.000-08:002017-01-20T13:55:03.999-08:00Luis & Juke—Combining Music & Fashion…<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJL0ufh7D84yXCW75yFVdKyl936sPOwhTyAeJHX4hY2yxkxis56Quk0-71m6MSWXktQHbbvHVorBZ_cTa6XrLjC-DyO6ViRV9B8LiEb-_XUntrZSKyQvyDCOg1cZiffSmIex2Zr0oarBw/s1111/2.jpg" /></figure><h2>…for a New Generation of Underwear Buyers</h2><p>Driven by the energetic sounds and styles of the fifties, Luis & Juke is a new men’s underwear brand on a mission to bring retro to a new young audience.</p><p>Merging fashion and music the label is perfect for the style conscious everywhere.</p><p>Taking its name from Louis Jordan, the American jazz and blues singer who was known as ‘King of the Jukebox’, the hand-drawn prints and bold plain colour ways capture a spirit of adventure and fun that the designers felt had been lacking in the underwear market for too long.</p><p>Check out some more sexy shots.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Luis & Juke, Courtesy Huntsworth.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-63928392461335345012017-01-20T13:51:00.000-08:002017-01-20T13:51:00.140-08:00Oiler & Boiler: Breathing Fresh Air into the Swim and Underwear Market<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Lqmq9WIlYgceMGn85ZNR4-ufnKbwYdRn4EoBq1BOnOpQmbGKyL3Z4-fbDlJ2qK5pPuJgDikalMNZtaE_GJ4L-gFmF_LgJJIVDo4RzuUqQXLYaMfTQTxt4A5kz8dqwdzVIG64n-hd8ac/s1111/3.jpg" /></figure><p>Launching in the UK for spring 2016, Oiler & Boiler underwear and swimwear combines artistic and original hand drawn prints with simple but stylish plain colour ways.</p><p>The collection is set to become a must-have in every style conscious man’s wardrobe next year.</p><p>Heavily inspired by the preppy, classic look of the Hamptons, Oiler & Boiler captures the essence of Long Island style, providing stylish swimwear and underwear, all with a fantastically refreshing, affordable price tag.</p><p>Oiler & Boiler is a brand on a mission to turn everyday essentials into colourful design pieces great prices.</p><p>Have a peek at a few more sexy photos.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Oiler & Boiler, Courtesy Huntsworth.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-18264497790663143362017-01-19T19:10:00.000-08:002017-01-19T19:10:10.223-08:00Camo River Collection Spring/Summer 2016<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8LHaoG1erbbmgB4hbOrPGjhlepnmNrOdlgtG6oGeQr4d9q3D2-m9hTKWreoQeuB_Ope4K3ELtBswFX5qHpKoLv9lmR1IUTF5UIidoS5qU6azXlLdHc_kP9beaF5Tlgo_C9hquBk8REo/s1111/7-19-2011+11-05-14+PM.png" /></figure><p>The Camo “River” collection is inspired by the river “Cervo.” It runs across the valley, into the Biellese area.</p><p>The river, just as human life, has a winding and articulated way.</p><p>It has its birth, in this case, from the lake “Lago della Vecchia”, then it goes through small villages and cities ending its course by jumping into the sea.</p><p>The flow, as a simbol of life; for us the river “Cervo” is as important as any other river , torrent, or stream.</p><p>See the entire collection.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Camo.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-76703410284646017122017-01-19T16:57:00.000-08:002017-01-19T16:57:09.377-08:00Be My Aussie-tine…I Mean Valentine!<a name='more'></a><p>Make Valentine’s 2016 your biggest one ever with this special aussieBum selection, 100% guaranteed to nail you that perfect Valentine’s date you’ve been waiting for!</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1v4R_-vqJYVFUt0K-5TEriEA5jKPGOf4-GY1PGXfYsKN2-0JUyTSHb32ORBIMLa0vn4STXagdY3_aQvlYRYUQgswI916RrFpzQ1o6wiX3q3u3IHqyvaYzBTDxVXa_eYciwAg6ihAW318/s1111/1.jpg" /></figure><p>The team @ aussieBum has made a selection of their favorite Valentine’s gift ideas for you, each of them suited to match your personality whether you’re a bit of a show off, or a more laid back person...

Hudson left his state in search for work.</p><p>After the closure of the textile factory in which he worked, C.C. Hudson launched an overall-manufacturing company right about the beginning of the 20th century.</p><p>By 1943, the name of Hudson’s company became Wrangler, which produced good ole’ fashioned western jeans!</p><p>From that point onward, the history of Wrangler has been a bronco-busting, rodeo-riding journey that has lassoed nearly the world!</p><p>Check out the tees.</p><p>Photos Copyright Wrangler, Courtesy Surgery PR.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-29139424352236969692017-01-19T04:46:00.000-08:002017-01-19T04:46:12.444-08:00Timoteo Exclusive Tanks & More<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqruCygp3IHSDXyTlAIBdLsZKEJc6Dz0IByKJcRfxR4UcAUqp70-TvRsDNVXux7-OkJ-aXA8kLrkXMTX1zV009yGEiv-2X2Q7yNuJsrvPwmLCFeiYbHLanKChhEMkzFVSX2WB7cOXb80g/s1111/LoungeWear.jpg" /></figure><p>Timoteo is an ever-expanding line of underwear, swimwear, gym wear, jeans, and more.</p><p>In the most recent photo shoot, model Steven Dehler who has walked the runway for Timoteo poses in front of the camera with exclusive tank tops.</p><p>Keeap up the great work, Timoteo!</p><p>See more sexy shots of Steven.</p><p>Photos Copyright Timoteo.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-21575608906981054922017-01-19T04:44:00.000-08:002017-01-19T04:44:00.254-08:00Sun Pocket Original –Avalanching Its way onto Catwalks, High Streets & Hipsters Pockets<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglT7Q1x0b-sHSbWr_UpJHvdLkJfKrYtljaNRkr5eiEdJs-TaFVo9ZNGa0l31B375viphrbtF88v05M4lzI54miZrI1E7DQFpbEo5srAqjL_Q3ZFpmPzzTlaTh_TN10Pdv64pywVz8lzbA/s1111/1.jpg" /></figure><p>Sun Pocket first unfolded in France in the late 1970’s, originally made for the sunny ski slopes and the warm Mediterranean Sun Pocket soon avalanched its way into the fashion scene, being worn by the rich, famous and fashionable of any ice capped mountain range.</p><p>Moving out of the 70’s into the 80’s Sun Pocket retained the joyful explosion of colours and a style that saw them the eye wear of choice for hotdog skiers and 80’s hipsters.</p><p>20 years on and Sun Pocket find themselves being brought back to life globally being stocked in over 18 countries after now-brand owner, Jacob Höglund, found a pair of the <a href="http://3dsunglasses.blogspot.ca/">foldable sunglasses</a> by accident in his families ski cottage in Trysil, Norway 2009.</p><p>See more shots of the sunglasses.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Sun Pocket.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-50649115879982433692017-01-18T14:38:00.000-08:002017-01-18T14:38:06.375-08:00Miami Fashion Week: An Exclusive Interview with Nicolas Felizola<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzmyMQ12bL-l054JJq9HcESgihPKCiuiK7mCTKz1arFlniLFlMWyvTu_azzVssLRxJ9o0m7RgEo-JZyd6tiQgr8MdsPFgeC_H_7v3WSTJZkwUN9s_EQJzFm_Gd3VGk-EsZcZl5XDfafqM/s1111/IMG_8633%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><p>One of the designers whose collections will be strutting down the the runway at the up-and-coming Miami Fashion Week (March 3-6) is formal wear designer, Nicolas Felizola.</p><p>In anticipation of the event, I had the wonderful privilege of an exclusive interview with the Venezuelan designer:</p><h2>Tell me, Nicolas, where are you from exactly? </h2><p>I was born and raised in Valle De la Pascua, Venezuela, a little town filled with love and the most beautiful atmosphere.</p><h2>And where do you live now?</h2><p>I currently live on a plane, travelling all over the world as work. I take inspiration from all the places I visit, and I also travel a lot due to the demand for my work. However, two places I would call home are Miami and New York.</p><h2>(Still chuckling) When did you begin designing?</h2><p>About six years ago, a Mexican celebrity asked me to find her a unique piece for a red carpet event. I couldn’t find her anything that I thought would be perfect, so I decided to create something myself. Several fashion magazines named her as best dressed for the evening, and that’s when I realized that designing was something that came naturally to me as a form of artistic expression.</p><h2>What guides your sense of design?</h2><p>I have been a fashion photographer for as long as I can remember. I would always select the pieces and use them in such a way as to represent and mark my own sense of style.</p><h2>How would you sum up the particular “look” or “style”?</h2><p>My stile is purely simple; I like lines, cuts, and wonderful fabrics…</p><h2>How do you estimate the present state of men and menswear?</h2><p>Men have become more and more conscious about fashion in recent years. They are looking for quality and style because they have become more aware of the importance of their own image.</p><h2>How about the menswear scène in Venezuela?</h2><p>I left Venezuela sixteen years ago and, unfortunately, have not returned often. Women from Venezuela, however, come to Miami regularly to get their most important gowns, in particular wedding dresses, designed by me. Men also come often to get fitted for suits from the Felizola Uomo Collection.</p><h2>Will you continue to design high-end formal wear?</h2><p>I am creating a more affordable line that will attract attention towards anyone who wears it.</p><p>Have a peek here at what is coming to Miami this season!</p><p>Photos Copyright Nicolas Felizola.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-20754348457305926712017-01-18T13:40:00.000-08:002017-01-18T13:40:01.282-08:00Palladium Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMuOG-b2fDuFU49aQUMdV6qy2zzG-V8Un4tFtjYlvEheX79zXs-INDi03GASSETKw3OVeX7nP4CKFZUHzbZXsXJtWcjRuGplrF4RDonlsnmpSPPOH0nCTf1hhquBDmwDVMr75nAUJdkRM/s1111/6-18-2011+4-47-26+PM.png" /></figure><p>The Palladium Plaid collection includes a 100% cotton plaid upper and Pallama leather, along with the classic Palladium rubber outsole.</p><p>Palladium Plaid is available in stores and online at beginning July 1st.</p><p>See the collection.</p><p>Photos & text copyright Palladium.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-80959831672112567702017-01-18T13:24:00.000-08:002017-01-18T13:24:02.988-08:00Percival Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIcLIccF5ZIQmlX-8guC8-vcFCI9wF2kglCBiDK33KkGoUCyS52HfvGFo8gkeVyUBe__CSPLj_wApG91wSueUypOHQ_S9goI70GhpLPWyHb6HFnvD240pW8WILXQ7i4LfXpWQjcwdzO4k/s1111/6-18-2011+4-55-42+PM.png" /></figure><p>Percival autumn/winter 2016/12 is our most adventurous range yet.</p><p>We’ve introduced waxed wool, sheepskin, and camel wool to our classic bees-waxed cotton and Harris Tweed for a considered selection of textures and fabrications to take you through the winter.</p><p>At Percival we use lasting, honest fabrics in styles that capture a sense of adventure with<br />playful buttons and contrast linings.</p><p>The garments stand alone in both their fit and utilitarian workmanship.</p><p>Each piece is built to last with a philosophy of lasting style taking precedence over trend-led shapes.</p><p>Everything is designed in London and made in the UK where we can.</p><p>See the collection.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Percival, Courtesy Sane Communicaitons.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-60504594428253103622017-01-18T08:46:00.000-08:002017-01-18T08:46:06.789-08:00CIFF Spring/Summer 2016 Trends<a name='more'></a><p><h2>Season Themes</h2><p>: CIFF has put together a trend presentation for their upcoming August show.

This modern outlook offers a radically simple, minimal aesthetics found appealing once again, updating an idea of classicism and timelessness. Between a search for original purity and the redefinition of shapes, we identify the contours of a new frame of reference. Highly stylized, shapes and lines are defiantly structured or erased to leave room for a comfortable ergonomy with generous, enveloping, air-conditioned fullness. We draw strength from the desert, a fascination for expanses without borders and opt for timeless eroded denim and sediment-like fabric effects.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl6iJ6qc83eVrJJUVdMLJvTI0xZpm-VWqgx_FOz6sdzLoLMR8supfSCuOeldo2WWyRFfynQnksQnRE_qWF0EATwCXBRiP5rgAmzf50H6PjFpa1Xk2oXNlE_zTZ0TYlkpyX8h8tHqpHC68/s1111/2.jpg" /></figure><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTcZ9ygiYW7OpPuGEuPlS68bc7P86eCFhuNO_bOuNSmO9CJcsyHs-arE_DQ8gaD-Rb618ieKxRufZOspOEIMgfTnQj66YR-qZ4zLMIXnZOZFFDpXQygJh2JJAOVezVaelkoG7koeaJAqM/s1111/3.jpg" /></figure><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZICsXDniycE8hMPCSlPrktts239JsfnHIDrf1HAQRLw6RGeXdT8fHI3pHi1oJ7StD0jLU4Ji1NIj5UeHsNYkQuDqXWW5R-7xglu8BF7GXDDBYW0x80bt0GxP814xhkJGamxsPYsd1QkQ/s1111/4.jpg" /></figure><p>This is a call for pure relaxation, cheerfulness and vacationing: a joyous escape from everyday life. Take up the colors of summer and the codes of seductiveness and give them a joyful spin, without fear of being over the top. We play Summer clichés “to the hilt” between jet-set opulence sultry seduction and impetuous glamour of the Happy Hour. Or opt for a California cool, coloring the preppy look with show-off humor, and playing with beachwear and American casual wear to concoct a smart relaxed look. Summer once again has a mythical attraction.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ5b9LRuadEV5RCZz1pdgcU2SBn5iuskgZw4UqaFimbh8AcfV-YtvoXZ9pMyErPlGZY3YxrM_pbd78Dj_Ok7TI2TUBRjYX_rjczeix95si-I43SqOO0sq6tO1Gyd48CDW1k8t-W3W14dI/s1111/5.jpg" /></figure><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIhF7sVCQiWoUAjvkbtgBIN8_RLXa2al2QGC1B3g48-OK1so2AEEuOG1dvYcPSeLnL4nOnXACkh5bBa-UlVDbxyXHbS5HHy0UZFWZZGjd_VpHBw1CYIRX8nhg04SXOGzmbcticjks9C6M/s1111/6.jpg" /></figure><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Qcvpw8GR8XAaPBaw9UxPNZO5dvUxYS2CLYUwwqATsoMsnpBo176yHSqXTU7t932bRD2LrrRZP5UkxdU8Orm087_KI7UHkQHSwkVdGEZCap_wl7IdqDERaEiaeMCLof_BFd2gg2Y2FKM/s1111/7.jpg" /></figure><p>Start dreaming of a more gentle connection with time, of a return to a more authentic existence. Between pragmatic realism - a better quality of life, sustainable and local consumption—and fantasized idealism: the dream of a simple and fair life, of authentic values. Enchanted authentic offers a continuation of the slow movement, but has a more elaborate and richer artisanal edge. It is a celebration of generosity, gentleness, richness and consistency and a desire to rediscover a refined, long-forgotten savoir-faire and seek graceful sensuality with old-fashioned charm. Compose a refreshing romanticism, without naiveté. Like a wistful collector, list the outfits of forgotten trades and crafts or prefer endearing and dainty touches for an enchanting bucolic mood.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdI4BfPjqidQhDhPioC9-KSqYUEFwAXQtr4rrgEUKukFAWmn1cdJpEL_vozL8VQllIxEraT0Vlm4Slwun5d0qd7IgkyVErq-f_DmqLZ6T6GLbEhV6EDSqSX5FInCfRejxBpy-CPa74Q8/s1111/8.jpg" /></figure><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJFFLQe4Ibye0PLZen1wQf1AQAQHG6JiZZZqYVYoKduEJ4o6UkghbNa74iifWGYl9jok5dUzfllesVDDmsY5YS3-ngOlhjCOu5cEnGuMqBkl20RxlSDTSkwd8QijY0lJyZF6wR8bL8r4/s1111/9.jpg" /></figure><p>Photos & text Copyright WeConnectFashion, Used by Permission.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-11843582265637895982017-01-18T08:45:00.000-08:002017-01-18T08:45:23.045-08:00Spring/Summer 2016 Accessories/Footwear Trends<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-E7350gydYeda8jj288st-hh5lRtUXzTjW5hiaXuRUsQ_hXBEr2JEJmjZQ2Ievz1QaD1C2twBEfvP6XKAazcRCOUtS59f129EGeiKKeLyE71631smB1_IbBRX69b1J9j5kB9UPlSP4k0/s1111/12ss_1ma.jpg" /></figure><h2>Seasonal Theme Men’s Accessories</h2><p>: The 2016 London Olympic Games inspire a key trend for Spring/Summer 2016 men’s market.

With them comes inspiration for the upcoming season from international trend forecasting companies. On view is one such report that will be seen at PrintSource. The "Style Guide" report, created by Promostyl, highlights four key trends for the Spring/Summer 2016 market. Presented on WeConnectFashion, courtesy of Promostyl and Printsource.</p><h2>Internance</h2><p>Minimalism and nomadism come together for a theme that’s focused on reviving original and timeless paired down styles. The palette is based on the myriad variations of sand and earth nuances accompanied by five sun-bleached pastels. The print direction focuses on tribal motifs and photo-landscape images that are fused with a kaleidoscope effect.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXd1vD5PY5318xCpycsyLiLpW9wIbJSTisNMkbgsGgB6rZKDR_WlYdK3ERzASsO-9Fg_HbiCfcbf0geG06LtAm_NHMJMGFW4bSQmPDnmDatdIkW02PtwSPwyH3PIEHyd5fKEQf1MYwryw/s1111/ss12_seasontrend1%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><h2></h2><h2>Polychromy</h2><p>We awaken the senses with a techno-edge theme focused on the positive energy of light and color.

The print direction takes classic prints and infuses them with saturated colors and overlapping 3d effects.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7-RZkdOchjpocitgvbsQ__UOgBUebCyzXWZnQL4KY7BGx4nN5Aq-CAgsTVthXYTZwkqkS_XKezuIPtaRdmj_ekeojyL7usKwKNJG4c8ecfZLt1WbcjaveGPPdfdzHfbCf6kZEo3lvc4/s1111/ss12_seasontrend3%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><h2>Genesis</h2><p>An organic and lyrical theme inspired by the mysteries of the underworld. Aquatic life inspires this story that looks at art nouveau and avant-garde styles for silhouettes that are all about metamorphoses. The chameleon color range is made up of aquatic turquoises, purple tints and telluric brownish reds. The palette is punctuated with two supernatural pastels and two iridescent hues. The print direction creates a new camouflage with nature motifs that are layered in an impressionistic manner with a focus on solarized feathers ad re-colored forest landscapes.</p><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvBrfPZEjaXH3IspPMH0d4xYSyJ8IjDzvquSNAsFKQkLccleYgyWKCh1p_H7jSd4WSN5oID3heh3Wv4xxzUXNYvaHBpPonVl78LwEZau8l-P-OlTF1_pLNJ7D8CeA_zK9ly7zmr7aDSYY/s1111/ss12_seasontrend4.jpg" /></figure><p>Printsource is the main resource for surface and textile design for America's major manufacturers, retailers and catalogs, covering such industries as men's, children's and women's apparel, bed and bath, kitchen and tabletop, paper goods and stationery, wallcoverings, window fashions and other surface and textile design applications.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Printsource, Used with Permission by WeConnectFashion.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-68272130981779855122017-01-16T10:32:00.000-08:002022-05-05T15:44:00.324-07:00Paris Fashion Week SS 2017...

Andrew Christian, one of the hottest reality stars. Andrew Christian played “Andrew” on Bravo’s The Fashion Show, and quickly set himself apart from the other designers with his movie star good looks and winning out of the box designs. Andrew was also featured on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency seasons 3 and 4 on the popular Oxygen reality show.</p><p>One of Andrew’s best sellers is his amazing line of technically advanced custom woven men’s underwear. The underwear comes in street, sport, fashion, and basics-themed lines and are available in a range of styles including low cut, super-low-cut, and boxer briefs. Each style is intricately designed using specialized dye treatments, printed graphics and innovative materials such as bamboo fiber, sports mesh, and patented moisture wicking cotton blends. Andrew is the first to introduce Anti-Muffin Top Elastic in his underwear designs, to reduce the appearance of love handles, and Flashback - Butt Lifting Technology.</p><p>With Flashback one can create the illusion of having that much sought after "bubble butt" without having to waste hours in the gym as the construction of the underwear automatically lifts the buttocks making it look more firm and round. He continues to push the boundaries of underwear fashion by the release of “Almost Naked” the anatomically correct underwear for men and “Show-It” and “Shock Jock” both with front enhancing pouches.</p><p>Andrew Christian is not just about underwear, he has been producing contemporary collections of urban inspired menswear, swimwear, edgy tees, and accessories since its inception in 1997. However, it was Andrew’s innovative underwear designs that established the company as a force in the fashion world. Andrew’s designs can now be found in exclusive boutiques such as Kitson Men (Los Angeles), Fred Segal (Los Angeles), and Patricia Field (New York), to the "majors" including Harvey Nichols.</p><p>Andrew Christian’s body enhancing and fashion underwear has been featured on Good Morning American, Fox News (National), Entertainment Tonight (ET), CBS News (National), MSNBC’s Hardball, Yahoo, Daily Mail (London) Wall Street Journal, Maxim, NY Daily News, Boston Globe, New York Magazine, Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Dallas Morning News to as far away as the Times of India.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Andrew Christian.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-58359409545321231772017-01-15T07:41:00.000-08:002017-01-15T07:41:03.449-08:00Andrew Christian Models in Their Underwear, in Amsterdam!<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA6qQlX5-zftDggxcGHlaHXr2mxD1SxB9l3jgiW-eptCOEQP-LBoTk4FNw3NlkFEGgVeYETu1J3mTuDWgNu2fwl69IM3pAAu6VYKAs56WV9uKZghr10RguCZLfTVi922LOugfPOBf3T48/s1111/247963_1847162384918_1416432338_31665490_2450943_n%255B1%255D.jpeg" /></figure><p>Proving it’s not just the bicycles you need to be watching out for on the streets of Amsterdam, four hot Andrew Christian models escorted the brands designer to the Andrew Christian store in the De Negen Straatjes area of Amsterdam last week.</p><p>And it wasn’t just the people on the streets whose heads turned, the national TV network RTL was also there to capture it all!</p><p>For those of you who missed it, check out a selection of the pics below and click on the link to see the TV coverage featuring all the guys in action!</p><p>See the models strip down in the streets of Amsterdam.</p><p>Photos & text Copyright Andrew Christian.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-42240985370510000712017-01-14T13:10:00.000-08:002017-01-14T13:10:04.978-08:00Two More Collections by Ecko<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8-ifCutt1oPFF44kzFRkxUfa3Jhyg6_qcOWym07ghOhLiYzK7j9xaDypkktmaub1nDbuJWa0obNIjTwLqT2-hxatKoEBm1PFmViFmFRPxmu9HTMhYaZcQyWP8DepX1krGSvr75BESobUw/s1111/06329_sm%255B1%255D.jpg" /></figure><h2>Marc Ecko Cut & Sew Spring/Summer Collection 2016</h2><p>The year 2016 starts with the Marc Ecko Cut & Sew (MEC & S.) collection, which is based on such an intangible aesthetic that the importance of brand virtually defines its purpose.</p><p>Before choosing the color palette, the manufacturing process, or the decorations, the methodology was adopted and based on the creations.</p><h2>ECKO Unlimited Spring/Summer Collection 2016</h2><p>Alongside the 2016 spring/summer collection comes Ecko Unlimited.

In 1999, he was hired as Creative Director of French women’s wear brand Ichthys, which he left in 2004, in order to co-found the Charles Anastase label with the fellow French designer – a venture that was rewarded with the prestigious Andam Prize and the favours of modern style icons such as Beth Ditto, Kylie Minogue, Chloe Sevigny and Diane Kruger.</p><p>In 2008, after parting ways with Anastase, he fulfilled his ambition to create new menswear classics, with a debut signature collection unveiled to critical acclaim at the Festival d’Hyeres.

This season the visuals presented provide a gentler, more intimate context for Loewe’s ready to wear and leather accessories. Velencoso is pictured in the hotel room wearing Loewe's Amazona Weekender in Black and Loewe's Amazona Weekender bag in 'Oro' and Brown.</p><p>The campaign was shot in the Ritz Hotel in Madrid, a century-old landmark where the Hollywood star Ava Gardner would drink with Ernest Hemingway in the Fifties and Sixties, after making the city her home. Her rock and roll antics at the Ritz have since become part of local mythology. Both she and Hemingway were Loewe customers, a natural connection to the house that the creative team behind the campaign was keen to explore.</p><p>Shooting the campaign were Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, who have demonstrated their instinct for narrative in fashion photography with a series of images that read like stills from a glamorous movie. Working alongside Mert and Marcus were their trusted collaborators Paul Hanlon and Lucia Pieroni on hair and make-up respectively.</p><p>Introducing a sense of intrigue around the relationship between Velencoso’s character and that of the female model, Mariacarla: both are seen in the same hotel room, but never at the same time. The use of motion blur around the lamps draws attention to the presence of a watching eye, giving the campaign a voyeuristic edge.</p><p>The art director of the campaign was stylist and Editor Katie Grand. “We felt it was really important that it took place somewhere iconically Spanish,” she says. “We had considered shooting on the southern coast, but the shoot was scheduled for March – not the best time for the beach. Once we’d decided on the Ritz we moved heaven and earth to make it happen; it was the perfect location, what with its glamorous history and its connection to Loewe.”</p><h2>About Loewe</h2><p>Established in 1846, Loewe represents Spanish luxury, specializing in leather goods, ready-to-wear, bags, accessories and fragrance.</p><p>In 1996 the company joined LVMH, the world’s leading luxury goods group. Today Loewe is a key player in 34 countries with over 160 stores worldwide and headquarters in Madrid.</p><p>Photo & text Copyright Loewe.</p>Jane Warolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00592110831700217064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157280404937957820.post-40418792817243137292017-01-08T05:32:00.000-08:002017-01-08T05:32:00.545-08:00Los Vladimirovich “De profundis clamavi” Из глубины я плакал<a name='more'></a><figure><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgelf7wdeDCnfTzyf2V04I-pd7BTZ32LLfsWWpELvt9nPqakc5pH-fX8kK83efsz7fVDockgrdEPH-aNpPOcFINNLiC5fWCr9lq-93N5zpt4ELImWsMxTQKbw5ZH6WW2K5Z8zUyiI-TRHk/s1111/7-8-2011+8-36-33+AM.png" /></figure><h2>From the Depths I Cried / Desde lo más profundo te invoco</h2><p>Land of the dead, or rather of Death, its paths and side—paths from a truly phantasmagoric maze.</p><p>Covering an area of 43 hectares, or just over 105 acres, the Pere –Lachaise cemetery is the largest in Paris, and probably the last place most romantic in Paris, where each walk will transport you from one grave to another, according to your sensibility.</p><p>Like any cemetery can be defined by the relations that he establishes between the living and the dead.

The design of the large backpack is based on traditional canoe packs from North America.</p><p>The heavy, army-green canvas has been treated with a precise mixture of wax and paraffin to resist bad weather and water in particular.
