Kenzo Menswear Fall 2013

Posted in Gentleman's Corner with tags , , , , , on January 11, 2013 by James Field

Thank you Kenzo! Ah yes, who better than to deliver the coolness to the fellas this season than Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. Right down from the heavens it seems too have been sent, as the inspiration of the collection were mythical sky gods and goddesses. Spun from the constant images of the sky via traveling on planes as the duo are bi coastal with the Kenzo brand these days.

The collection was full of amazing could prints, sleek fitted trousers and incredible coats in deep shades purple, black and blue. ”When we were thinking about these warriors and goddesses, they were all kind of powerful feeling, and the shapes gave us that,” says co-designer Humberto Leon, and that aspect is certainly achieved with the powerful rounded shoulders, paired with the crisp straight lines of the trousers. Just as the coats also projected  power evoking presence with the A line shapes and tailoring.

Below are some of the my favorites from the collection from which I loved pretty much every single look. Enjoy!

So just as the clouds blew eye fetchingly across fabrics on Kenzo’s amazing coats, my unrelentingly keen love blew to Florence for this Fall 2013 collection.

3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2013 Men’s Collection

Posted in Gentleman's Corner with tags , , , , on June 29, 2012 by James Field

When I wear 3.1 Phillip Lim I truly feel like an urban/chic badass, which for me is perfect. His understanding of street fashion mixed with modern influences, makes him one of my favorite menswear designers. It was only appropriate the designer took home this years CFDA for emerging menswear designer of the year, and I was so happy to know that the CFDA took notice to his accomplishments with menswear as of late. This season he pulled inspiration from Brazilian street fashion with Japanese sensibility. He called it the “Nipo-Brasileiro sub-cultures” which totally put the image in my head of tough beach going Brazilian and Japanese kids looking amazing in the urban pits of Rio. I thought the collection was amazing and so true to the Lim man (which totally is me,  in my head ) check out some of my favorite looks from the resort collection.

Hands down one of my favorite resort collections for menswear.

Damir Doma Fall 2012

It feels so good to get back to doing my fashion post’s for TBN. This year has been a true blessing and so much has happened, but now that we are in a new year what better way to kick it off than some menswear collection reviews?

So I would like to begin with the Damir Doma Fall 2012 collection. This show was such a powerful dose of ethnic influences, luxurious fabrics and some interesting silhouettes. I really have a fond fascination with Damir and his work and I think that he has a real grasp on who his customer is. This season he really presented us with this concept of a nomad, but a nomad who knows exactly where he is going.

 

The fur was of course my favorite, the heaviness was a great anchor to the more flowing, loose shapes. The overall collection was a great way for me to revive my writing for TBN and please do stay tuned for more!

Thanks for reading!
