Armani to Stay the Course

Written by admin on August 19, 2010 – 6:07 pm -

Giorgio Armani is a fashion icon. He is known in particular for his menswear although as many of his peers have done, he has branched out into other areas. For the most part Armani adheres to simpler designs and patterns, and for this reason his men’s ties have become classics which never go out of style. There’s a reason why Armani is one of the top fashion brands in the world. And that it is because of designer and founder Giorgio Armani. And when asked about hiring new breed of fashion designers for the fashion house, the 76-year-old explained that he is happy with the way things are and added that when changed need to be mane, it is better to have someone who already works for the firm take over. One of Armani’s tenets is for a designer... more

Successful Men Wear Brioni

Written by admin on August 15, 2010 – 4:44 pm -

While reading an international daily a few months back, I chanced upon an advertisement for Brioni. I was pleasantly surprised to find a distinguished-looking male model in a handsome suit side by side with an equally elegant-looking female model wearing a perfectly tailored dress-and-jacket ensemble that exuded timeless femininity and grace. I wasn’t aware that Brioni also had a women’s line, so when I found out they opened a flagship store in Ginza in May, I had to have a look-see; I contacted the gracious head of PR for Brioni-Tokyo and got a lowdown on the label. Brioni is a fashion brand that is synonymous with unparalleled luxury; it reigns supreme in men’s clothing and is distinguished by impeccably cut and elegantly tailored suits... more

Dior Homme’s Understated Chic a Hit at Paris Fashion Week

Written by admin on August 12, 2010 – 5:59 pm -

Without a doubt, this year’s Men’s Fashion Week in Paris was stripped of the usual decadence witnessed on the Parisian runways. Left in its place, exposed and bare, was a minimal aesthetic that replaced the usual rainbow of spring colors with tailored nudes and this year’s favorite palette of black and white. The designers who showcased their Spring-Summer 2011 collections this June definitely proved less is more. And none better than Belgium designer Kris Van Assche of Dior. The show, appropriately entitled, “Lessness,” dressed down the silhouette to reveal luxury in sobriety. Designer Van Assche, told The Associate Press in a backstage interview that he “wanted to show less to put all the attention to quality.” And he did just... more

Proper Wedding Attire for Men

Written by admin on July 31, 2010 – 11:53 am -

Gentlemen, a wedding invitation arrives from someone important - perhaps from your boss, a favorite cousin, or worst of all, an old flame. You've got to go, and you've got to look good. There's no need to panic, say local style experts. Here are their top tips. Read the invitation. It provides important clues to planning your attire. Note the location and time of day. A daytime wedding in a garden is more casual than one in the evening at a church. Suit up. A suit is always appropriate, particularly for a more formal affair. "A navy blue suit, white shirt and tie make up the wedding uniform," says Miguel Lopez, proprietor of the Castro menswear store, Sui Generis. Just remember that the fabric has to be appropriate to the season. Spring and... more

Gabbana on design

Written by admin on July 25, 2010 – 8:56 pm -

By ADAM TSCHORN, Los Angeles Times Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were the toast of the town during last month's men's fashion week in Milan. It wasn't just because of their 20th anniversary menswear show, which included Morgan Freeman in the audience and Annie Lennox at the piano - it was the star-studded red carpet gala that followed later that evening and a three-day public exhibit at Palazzo Marino (Milan's city hall) that featured rows of gleaming Apple iPads, flickering TV sets and the tools of the tailoring trade that once belonged in the atelier of Dolce's father. Three days later, the Gabbana half of the design duo shared some of his thoughts on what's changed since they sent their first menswear collection down the runway... more

Highlights of Milan Men’s Fashion Show

Written by admin on June 28, 2010 – 8:07 pm -

At the Milan menswear shows thus far, congratulations must be given to a few of the brands, at least for staying power, if not for anything else. This week had a great showing by most, a mediocre presentation by a few, and a disappointing turn by some. Here are a few that stood out: Zegna Ermenegildo Zegna turned 100 this week. Let's just take a minute and bask in the glow of finer manhood. There aren't that many men's labels around that do what Zegna does with such precision. This brand is an endangered species and their collection this week in Milan speaks to my statement. This collection fit in great with the overall image of the brand. Cottons, linens, silks, and mohair collaborated to great result -- a consistent line. Slimly cut suits... more

Things to Consider When Buying a Summer Suit

Written by admin on June 22, 2010 – 7:01 pm -

Construction Same deal as with cars and watches: It's what's inside your suit jacket that counts the most, and for summer you want to avoid any padding or lining that might prevent your body from breathing. For maximum comfort, go completely unlined with the likes of this Zilli suit. Cloth Look for lightweight wools or some blended variation thereof — e.g., the wool-and-silk weave of this Brioni suit. Wool is usually weighed in ounces, and weaves in the seven-to-ten-ounce range (with seven being lighter and thinner) hit the summer sweet spot. You should also pay attention to the so-called super number (e.g., this suit's super 150 designation), with a higher number indicating finer, lighter-weight cloth Color If your job entails going from... more
