May I? May Mags

Jennifer Lopez serves up some blank model gaze on the cover of W Magazine’s May issue, with an illegible “One & Only” title matching the logo in pastel rainbow gradation. She wears a black bra beneath a  white lace buttonup and an open-front black cardigan with white trip.  The makeup is a nude lip, subtly…

Jeffrey Rude Men’s New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 NYFW MBFW

Jeffrey Rude Men’s New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 collection was on-trend, full of wearable separates and classic garments, and for the most part impeccably tailored design- not counting the hemlines, although they seem to be trending amidst designers.  The only look I hated was the brown double breasted patch pocket blazer, because it was…

Oliver Spencer London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Oliver Spencer London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 is a dichotomy between fashionable of fashion-victim: how can one collection feature Freddy Kruger, concentration camp PJ’s met with prison uniforms, and contrastingly beautiful prints mixed expertly, and fabulous perfectly tailored looks?  The horizontal striped looks paired with matching hats and scarves bring A Nightmare on Elm Street…

Agi & Sam London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Athletic inspired, color blocking, long sleeves, and unique details characterized the Agi & Sam London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection. It was a modern collection, and while I love the layering of some of the looks, there is a bulkiness to the silhouette of the oversized garments, which is intentional but not a good look….

Astrid Andersen London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Astrid Andersen London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection featured athletic references such as the basketball short inspired pants, and a color palette of black, gray wool, gold and black print, mint green, and red.  I love a graphic print shirt, and the embroidered quilted graphic pullover hoody, which is cool but a bit bulky….

Hardy Aimes Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week FW16 LFW

Hardy Aimes Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week collection features classic looks, impeccable tailoring, coats in camel, brown, black; jackets in 50 shades of gray…and gingham,  and a burnt orange with contrast notched lapel. It’s more classic and basic than what we’re seeing from other designers for FW16 LFW…safe. It’s 

Lou Dalton Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week FW16 LFW

Lou Dalton’s Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week collection was full of brown and   cream plaid, brown, and black looks.  Ill-fitting pants, and fuzzy shirts and pants that looked like dirty old teddys.  It wasn’t an elevated, well executed or well tailored collection- the fabric selection and silhouettes looked amateur. Had it been edited down I…

Coach 1941 London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Coach 1941 London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection was fun and chic, with a bit of edge and a great eye for color.  Gorgeous bold plaids, in the traditional red, but also this bold blue, shearling, leather, and while I’m against fur, there is a tempting fur jacket among the refreshing cream looks.  The…

Man FW16 Fall/Winter 2016 LFW

Man, a collaboration between Lulu Kennedy’s Fashion East and Topman, presented three collections, the first of which started out with some boring horrendous scary seventies looks, complete with perms and reverse-perms. Bell bottoms, velvet, light wash denim, and patches.  Designer Grace Wales Bonner showed some elevated looks, such as the silver embroidered shirt with tuxedo pants, but they were…

Nasir Mazhar Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Nasir Masher’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection was basically all black and pretty basic…  I feel as if the stand out looks of the collection were the little bolero (what would we call it?), and the unimpressive shawl-lapel jacket.  …not much else to say about this collection.
