HOW TO WEAR BLACK LEATHER PIECE

how-to-wear-black-leather.jpg

          Don’t have to wear  leather all over your body like Gene Simmon just to be a Rock Star. We can still look like a rock star with black leather- if you know the trick.  The one key to remember when wear this black leather piece is to ALWAYS wear it with basic colours. If you wear leather pants, wear it with basic black blazer or shirt. If u wear leather blazer like Justin does, wear with basic (not shiny) black jeans.  But if insist to add pop colour, you can wear with blue jeans shirt,

2010 BEST DRESS LIST (HIM)

2010-best-dress-list-him.jpg

 

2011 is almost here, but before we make our new year resolutions, lets take a look to these amazing man(boy) who always give their best look during 2010 and hopefully you got inspired to add ‘be more stylish’ on your list:

  1. David Beckham : it is not a best dress list if there’s no Beckham in it. As the first man one who invented “metrosexual” word (as I try to recall), Beckham showed us that there’s nothing wrong for a man to be stylish. And he’s right. After all soccer career drama, happily marr

Furry Footwear

The Abominable Snowman, Big Foot, werewolves – not really style icons are they? Think again. When model of the moment, Freja Beha Erichsen, dons a pair of white fluffy Chanel boots she looks more snow princess than yeti… might have something to do with her coltish limbs and beautiful face or the fact that they’re Chanel, but nevertheless it is possible to look cool in fuzzy footwear.

I must admit when I first saw the Chanel A/W 2010 campaign I thought it was a bit hairy-scary, but now Jack Frost

Dior Homme...jackets!

Quando Slimane lasciò Dior Homme ci fu un malcontento e una delusione generale. Ma devo dire che io stesso sono "costretto" a ricredermi dato lo splendido lavoro di Assche. Nel caso dei capi di oggi volevo evidenziare Il senso di "fasciatura" delle giacche, l'utilizzo della cintura (prima prerogativa femminile...) utilizzata anche da Prada e l'idea di incorporare una sciarpa nella giacca. Lana e cachemire: due materiali molto caldi e lavorati in maniera eccezionale per dare vita a capi struttura

Fendi adv...f/w 2010

Ho visto questo adv di Fendi su Vogue poco tempo fa e ho deciso di postarvelo. Infatti credo che la pelliccia qui fotografata sia uno dei capi principe di quella che è la f/w 2010 di Fendi. Lagerfeld sceglie sempre location interessanti per le pubblicità di Fendi ed è davvero particolare il contrasto tra il calore conferito dalla porta vintage di legno e dalle pareti giallognole e, invece, la freddezza e l'eleganza della modella. Altrettanto adorabile il colore della Peekaboo di una nuance molto

Introducing Alexxuss Loves

It’s been said that if you stop growing you die, right? Well I happen to subscribe to that philosophy as well and I think that I want to add another section to this blog that’s about the things I love. I have a great many loves in my creative life. I don’t know of any creative person who loves only one thing. I think it’s our make up some how (I see you nodding your heads)!

I’m working on sooo many amazing things right now, new collaborations and opportunities as well as new interviews for y’all.

Tao Kurihara...skirt!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tao Kurihara, come vi ricorderete dal post che li ho dedicato è uno dei pupilli, insieme a Watanabe, di Rei Kawakubo (designer e fondatrice di CdG).&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ho deciso di parlarvi di questa gonna poiché mi ha colpito l'idea di fare un patchwork di stampe e terminarlo con un bordo nero. Infatti, attualmente le stampe sono un trend, come il patchwork, che non sembra volersi fermare ed è raro trovare entrambi i trend nello stesso

Tom Ford....so glamourous!

Ho dedicato un numero considerevole di post sulle sfilate maschili di questa f/w. Ma volevo soffermarmi su un designer tanto spesso citato quanto poco conosciuto. Quando si parla di Tom Ford si pensa agli occhiali, i più colti ai profumi e i più attenti ai telegiornali ripensano a quando si trovava da Gucci. Poi con A Single Man (film stupendo) tutti hanno spostato lo sguardo sul lato omosessuale e sulle capacità come regista di Tom Ford. Nessuno pensa mai, purtroppo, alle spettacolari collezion

Rodarte...skirts from f/w 2010!

Rodarte è uno dei miei brand preferiti. E quando ho visto queste stupende gonne sul celebre Colette Store non ho potuto fare a meno di postarvele. Entrambe sono caratterizzate da un patchwork e da un sapore vintage. I prezzi sono sicuramente alti, quasi proibitivi, ma vorrei andare oltre. La prima gonna in particolare ha un senso di movimento intrinseco difficile da trovare nei capi dal sapore vintage ma viene persino difficile definirle, come ogni creazione delle Mulleavy, poiché Rodarte si può

Joseph Altuzarra...f/w 2010

Sicuramente conoscerete Altruzarra...Designer di grande talento di cui va notato lo stile urbano mixato con uno stile maggiormente "chic". Per esempio per qeust'invenro propone un grande uso della pelle, colori classici e "modelli classici" ma come sempre rinnovati. Egli riunisce i trend della stagiona: abiti cut-out scolli americani, assimmetrie, colli strutturati, lacci da corsetto e tocchi i bondage. Questi i punti forte dello show e di tutta questa stagione! Ci tengo soprattutto a invitarvi

Ever time you turn on to watch the news or read the newspaper everyone is talking about the ‘newnormal’ times we are all living in. I totally get it, I understandthat people are having a hard & stressful time right now, it seemslike that’s the topic of everyone’s conversation these days andrightfully so. What I try to do daily with my blog is teach and showpeople how to save a dime or buck when it comes to buying clothes. Forme I believe it all comes down to making a choice, do we want to marchi

Ok it’s time. It’s time to really leave those sneakers and sweatpants behind you and show the world just how STYLISH you really are. A really good friend of mine, who works in the finance world, keeps telling me that at work the coworkers are really dressing down and frumpy. If there is one thing that really sends me over the edge it’s this… since when does the American professional business man / woman decide that dressing frumpy is deemed suitable???? The women that work at this company wear t
