Fred Perry for Liberty - Blank Canvas - Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Looking for the ultimate shirt to go side by side with the vivacious vacation season? Well… Look no further, for Fred Perry for Liberty’s collaborative Blank Canvas collection has arrived. Working its signature floral and paisley prints, which are respectively named “Edenham” and “Mark”; the collection of four pieces shows off the casual smart dress code in quintessential style.

Woven through a half boot, this pair of must-haves speaks of a terrifically tough style, while keeping someone calm and cool. Made in Italy, these leather sandals are truly the ultimate buddy to complement any summer looks. Are you ready? Let’s stir up a summer storm with Damir Doma!

Desert Kings

Fantastic Man - Super Sartorial Summer

Bastiaan Ninaber, Vincent Lacrocq and Ryan Barrett in H&M

Is it just me? Or is this Fantastic Man editorial entitled Super Sartorial Summer proclaiming its love for affordable mens fashion in the most blatant way ever? The heroes of the editorial – Bastiaan Ninaber, Vincent Lacrocq and Ryan Barrett – are photographed by Benjamin Alexander Huseby in a sharp selection from the Swedish fashion chain H&M. Doing those strong manly poses of theirs in unison by the picturesque desert location overlooking the endless blue ocean, one cannot help but sense that this summer promises to be hot and cool at the same time.

Cool in the Courtyard

Fudge vol. 22 May 2010.

Playing fashion. Slovenian model Marko Brozic enjoying his life in Prada.

Two of my favorite guys – Marko Brozic and Christopher Rayner – team up with soon-to-be-favourite-of-mine Nick R for this editorial from Fudge magazine’s May 2010 issue. Dressed in the season’s hottest buys from foreign high fashion labels as well as local talents by Stylist Marutani Naofumi, the boys look irresistibly cool chilling out in this picturesque courtyard. My ultimate favorite picture from this bunch of pictures by photographer Tokumaru Junichiro is no doubt Chris in the blindfold wearing a total look by Ann Demeulemeester. The composition of that picture from the pretty prickly epine black leather necklace to the obscured facial expression works flawlessly. This is definitely already listed as a favorite editorial of mine for the month.

Less Than* Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

Less Than* Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

Less Than* Showroom

I remember the day when I went to the Less Than* showroom like it was yesterday. It was a fine but chilly day in March. As a result of JFW overload and unsuccessful adjustment to the weather, my brain was really frozen that day, so really, I wasn’t expecting much in particular. With a little bit of difficulty finding the venue, (because the entrance to the building was slightly hidden and that the exhibition moved from level 4 to level 5 or something like that), I made it to the showroom. Stepping into the exhibition space, one could really sense the immense creativity behind the work.

Fashion Takes Flight!

View on Fashion's Wings of Desire

Austrian model Gerhard Freidl in View on Fashion's 'Wings of Desire'

Can Gerhard Freidl ever take an ugly picture? Nah, I don’t think so! Featured in View on Fashion’s editorial “Wings of Desire”, the amazing Austrian is photographed by Hunter & Gatti in a smart and chic wardrobe meticulously selected by Stylists Anita Reartes and Christopher Campbell. Shot entirely in black and white, this set of images speaks discreetly of an incredibly modern style. I really love the overlay image, in which the contrasting texture of his jacket comes out most blatantly. Flawless!

French model Tom Nicon wears Lad Musician's Joy Division inspired T

Warning! Warning! Hot new arrival alert! Available at Lad Musician’s web store and one pair is this set of über-cool Joy Division inspired Tees by Japanese label Lad Musician. Capturing the essence of the English rock band’s spirit in print, this set of must-have cotton Tees comes in three wild prints – all of which shows off an edgy side of a guy in an effortless way. Prices range from ¥ 8,400 to ¥ 8,820. Frankly speaking, I am losing control over the U-neck Sharp Hem Line Tees. Can’t wait to put my claws all over it!

Kirrily Johnston Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Kirrily Johnston Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Day 4 of RAFW: Kirrily Johnston Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11

Taking inspiration from a post apocalyptic time in the future, when humans live in absolute harmony with nature, Kirrily Johnston’s “Apocolypto” show presented a collection that literally walked on the wild side. Graphics were one of the elements which popped out like no others at the show. Stripes and an angular triangular print, which references the sharp modern architectural aspect of society, decorated the collection in a ferociously fierce way that was just major.

Hermès – the Greatest Messenger

Hermès Spring/Summer 2010

I dream of Hermès

It might seem so unoriginal to put Hermès as the ultimate buy on the consideration list for mother’s day; but really the great messenger of the gods in Greek mythology is truly the ultimate messenger to convey your love for this beloved figure in your life on this special day by treating her, spoiling her and ultimately to embrace her in a style that nobody (especially her picky friends) will deny or dis in any way at all. Naturally anything from the Hermès Shop would be worth every penny spent, because you know what? She is worth it!

The Spring/Summer 2010 ready-to-wear collection in store now is really quite a charmer itself. It encapsulates luxe at the very tip of the apex like no other. Just touching it on the rack, feeling its weight and how it just melts on the body like second skin; there is really no replacement in the market for its extraordinary design and meticulous craftsmanship. You know how mum just knows what size you are. Well… I guess it’s time to learn mum’s size and bring her the message of love that lasts forever.
