PHILLIP LIM X TARGET

Posted on by coolhand in Featured, The Fashion | Leave a comment

 

 

Fashion made affordable really does something to me. I can think of several collaborations with designers in recent years that have really elevated my wardrobe while saving me the trouble of breaking my piggy bank and/or the hours upon hours of time it takes to thrift.

After a very successful collaboration with Jason Wu Target has contracted Phillip Lim for a 2013 fall line that will feature over 100 items including footwear, apparel, travel gear and accessories. The line will feature both menswear and womenswear and price points for the clothing will range from 19.99 to 299.99 and 19.99 to 59.99 for accessories. Target’s senior vice president of merchandising Trish Adams had this to say about the collaboration “Phillip is a designer we’ve had our eye on for years. His aesthetic is modern and sophisticated, and he shares Target’s vision of democratizing design… This fall, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target will offer our guests a compelling reason to update their wardrobes, with an assortment of versatile, beautifully tailored must-haves for both women and men.”

The line hits Target stores September 15th 2013.

Fashion Shit: Top 5 Menswear Trends For Summer 13

Posted on by Quincy in Featured, The Fashion | Leave a comment

Hopefully, we’ve all grown in some way since last year.  Not in size, but spiritually, mentally, and hopefully financially.  If you’re an old stagnant mother fucker, don’t read any further.  If you embrace change, and wanna update your Spring/Summer look, I’m you’re guy.  Here’s 5 menswear trends for S/S ’13 that will help you step your game up.

Camo:  This trend isn’t new, but it doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon.  Pretty much every menswear designer is incorporating camouflage into their collections.  Now,you can’t wear it head to toe, or else you’ll look like you’re going deer hunting–subtle accents are best.

Try these loafers by Jimmy Choo.  Around $700.

Stripes.  Now this is one of my favorites.  Stripes never get old to me.  If you’re frightened of patterns, start out with an accent piece like a tie or socks.  If you ain’t “scurred”, do like I do and wear everything striped you have in your closet all together.  It definitely makes a statement, but that shit isn’t for everybody.  Know your limits.

Michael Kors S/S ’13

Baseball Jackets.  These aren’t your normal letterman/baseball jacket.  They’ve been reincarnated into something quite spectacular.  Check the one out below by Burberry Prorsum.  I never thought of wearing something that’s normally so casual at night.  It’s brilliant.

Neon. We’re seeing neon everywhere from man bags to shirts and ties.  If you’re bold enough you can do a full suit like the Ferragamo ones below.  It looks so crisp–a perfect summer look!

Shimmer.  Shine isn’t just for night.  Incorporate a light shine during the day.  Trust me, it’ll make your day go by quicker.

Cool Shit: Nike Solarsoft QS “Year of the Snake” Pack

Posted on by coolhand in Featured, The Fashion | Leave a comment

As we get older our taste changes. For those of us that operate in the realm of sanity, hopefully; they evolve. Evolution is an odd thing because although we operate out of a since of need, as we age our needs become greater, our tastes become more refined. Soon we are inspecting the latest issues of Dwell and updating our portfolio’s and investment accounts. Funny thing is, as evolved as we are, we are still prone to desires that although updated are not to far from desires that we have had in past. And without further ado I bring you the Nike Sportswear Solarsoft QS “Year of the Snake” Pack. Not the direction you thought I was heading eh? The detail I appreciate most about this pack is the subtleties. Although clearly a Nike product; the product itself remains logo free.

This pack features 3 sneakers; the last of which I didn’t bother uploading the image for personal reasons. The sneakers have a woven silhouette with subtle snakeskin detailing. All three sneakers (the 3rd not pictured here) are set to be available in limited quantities from Scotland’s Hanon beginning this Saturday, March 23.

…And Now A Word From Uncle Andre On Self Invention

Posted on by Quincy in Featured, The Fashion | Leave a comment

You’ve just gotta love Andre Leon Talley. Normally I can’t see past an overweight Black man with an annoying “gay lisp” wearing a moo moo, but Uncle Andre is excluded.  In the video below, he speaks about self-invention.  Great advice for anyone looking to set themselves apart from the rest of the crowd.  Be different, because anything else is just wack.  Enjoy.

The YSL, I Mean SAINT LAURENT Music Project

Posted on by Quincy in The Fashion | Leave a comment

Heidi Slimane, Creative Director for SAINT LAURENT, for some time now has been photographing famous 90′s rock icons in his brand.  Of course music and fashion go hand in hand, so its nothing new.  I’d sacrifice my left testicle to style Steven Tyler, or Slash of Guns and Roses.  It should be any true stylist’s dream really.

Slimane’s latest collaboration with Courtney Love left me with mixed emotions.  While I love the contrast of a hard edged rocker in beautifully made clothing, something about Courtney Love in SAINT LAURENT just ruins it for me.  Besides the fact that she looks like she has an ongoing incurable yeast infection, she… Actually, you know what–I have no point.  I love it.  It’s beautiful, and the way God intended.  Grungy coked-up tattooed promiscuous women in high-end designer is who should be wearing it.  That way it draws attention from the track marks on your arm, and directs it towards the fashion.  That Slimane is a smart man I tell ya’.

Shit That Gives Me A Woody: Tom Ford SS 13

If you didn’t already know that Tom Ford was a fuckin’ genius (we share the same bday by the way), well know you do.  Each and every season he seems to improve on perfection.  Every single look from head to toe is perfect.  He’s a true Visionary.  Take a look at this video for his Spring/Summer collection.  I don’t know about you, but good fashion makes my pants smaller in the crotch.

How to Wear an Expensive Suit

Posted on by Borzou in Featured, The Fashion | Leave a comment

By THOM BROWNE. My edits in red.

pittigq471-610x421

Rules for proper suit usage to prepare you for not getting embarased while wearing expensive suits.
#1: “Only the middle button on the jacket should be buttoned when you are wearing it closed.” Fact.
#2: “The pocket square in the breast pocket should be just peeking out (no more than 1/8 of an inch).” Good rule, but if you want to go over the top, feel free. Keep it small, or BIG though, nothing in between.
#3: “The last button on the cuff of the jacket should be left unbuttoned.” Fact. If your suit doesn’t do this, you’re probably wearing off the rack. That doesn’t necessarily mean your suit wasn’t expensive, but there are enough custom suit options that frankly, you should be buying them. You can try and find a tailer to make your non-functioning cuff buttons function, but its a risky move.
#4: “The button-down collar of the white oxford shirt should remain unbuttoned.” If you’re wearing a button-down oxford this is a fact. You will never catch me in a button down oxford. Ever.
#5: “Please do not iron the oxford shirts after washing.” Iron your shirts.
#6: “The trousers should be worn high-waisted so that the cuff of the trouser falls above the ankle.” Generally agree, but the more formal it is, the lower you can go. Don’t ever touch your shoe though.
#7: “The neckties have been pretied, but please remember to keep the knot very tight when tying the necktie.” I don’t care about the pretied portion, but definitely keep it TIGHT.
#8: “The necktie should be worn long, with the tip of the tie tucked into the waist of the trousers.” Fuck no.
#9: “The tie bar should be clipped so that it falls halfway between the collar of your shirt and the waistband of the trousers.” Eh. You can go higher.
#10: “The shoes should be worn without socks.” Agreed. Especially when rule 6 is in play.

When in doubt…trust in Nick Wooster
