The couture shows are usually a spectacle of extravagance and opulence where the designers give free reign to their creativity. However a look at the recent Givenchy A/W ‘09 couture , shows that although  the gloss of couture  still remains,  it is more and more  tinted with  pieces  that, taken separately  are actually wearable and commercial. With beautiful  middle eastern influences of ornaments and contrast, all we have to say is Wow Ricardo Tisci! I am rendered speechless. More on the next page via J&J.

John Varvatos Ad ( 2007 ) featuring The Velvet Revolver

In my admiration of men’s fashion one of my biggest fashion crushes has been John Varvatos. Launched in 2000 the John Varvatos label  exemplifies a sexy grown- up,  rock and roll cool that is irresistible as illustrated by their campaigns that feature rock legends, like Iggy Pop, Joe Perry and more. When I saw the ad of Slash wearing a suit   a while back I nearly died. True story. A glimpse at the man behind the brand, John Varvatos as he answers  random questions for the fashion Informer, you can read the feature here.

Launched in 2002 by Brian SS Jensen, Karl-Oskar Olsen and Magnus Carstensen , Wood Wood has established themselves as a  symbol of a generation and today’s  aesthetic. As reflected in their Autumn/Winter 2009 collection , the WoodWood wearer is not a ‘type’ or an image. It’s the regular girl or guy who love to put their own spin on clothing mixing modern, high end , vintage and street wear to create a look that is, individual, uncontrived and effortless which  I like alot. A closer look at Wood Wood Autumn/Winter 2009 on the next page.via berns.
