Gucci SS16 is Mr. Rodger’s Inspired?

Gucci lost me at hello.  I don’t know what this collection is about: I don’t get it, I don’t like it. Um…there’s a new neighbor, and he’s creeping me out with his ascots and PJ’s.  The 70’s, floral prints… the admittedly feminine fabrics still don’t translate into menswear for me.  The Gucci Man is a…

Fendi Men’s SS16

(Photos: Style.com) Fendi’s Spring/Summer 2013 Men’s collection featured solid leather or skin bags with a neon or skin strap, complete with bag bugs, which are as adorable as they are inhumane (they are Karlito are made from Silver Fox, Goat, and Mink…as are the knockoffs!).  Some bags and coats were ombre, others color blocked.  The…

I Have a Tonal Toner for Calvin Klein Collection Men’s SS16

Calvin Klein Collection’s Menswear Spring/Summer show created this luxe look with tonal shirt and suit matching, and these gorgeous graphic shirts: I love that they played with layering the graphic under fabric in the white version of the shirt. The shirts are graphic representations of the inspiration of summer waves, palm trees, and are laminated…

Frugal Fashion Finder: Digging for Gold

You can discover clothing at low prices, but you’ll have to dig and search.  I have actually found designer pieces at a fraction of the cost at stores like Marshalls, Nordstrom, Loehmann’s, and the like.  Unlike boutiques and department stores, a notch lower in the fashion cycle is the sector including Marshals, Ross, TJ Maxx,…

Dolce & Gabbana SS16 Men’s

The collection was a very graphically driven one: floral prints might have been taken to an  overtly feminine extent, especially considering the fabric selection and color palette, but the more kaleidoscopic prints were beautiful.  The t-shirts seemed to be a repetition of the icon prints, which I personally feel we’re over now.  The boldly striped suit was…

Costume National Men’s SS16

Costume National took us back to the 90’s along the way to the 70’s with leather pants, zipper details on the knees, great suits and outerwear, side-laced pants, and a bold palette of black, white, electric blue and fire engine red.  Trenches belted at the waist, skinny and flared pants, and bold red monochromatic looks…

Phillip Plein SS16 Menswear

I am in LOVE with Phillip Plein’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection! Leather, spikes, destroyed denim, printed jeans, moto jeans and jackets- the collection oozed rocker chic style.  The palette was primarily black and white with the primary colors blue, yellow, and mostly red thrown in here and there: contrasting colors and fabrics elevated the look of…

The Best of Resort 2016

Resort 2016 will allow you to express yourself in all of the fun trends.  We saw a lot of pastels, sheer meets opaque, cut outs, and prints- both bold and subtle.  Beautiful shirt dresses, a continuation of sleeveless outerwear and jackets, clear raincoats, and interesting silhouettes and proportions characterized the commonality of the collections. 70’s…
