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!

Brun Van Dyck Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11

Brun Van Dyck Fall/Winter 2010/11 Collection

Brun Van Dyck Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Collection

The first time I caught a glimpse of Brun Van Dyck’s mesmerising menswear collection was at the roomsLINK exhibition in Tokyo. Naturally, I felt an immediate attraction towards it. What overwhelmed me the most is how clean and structured each piece of the collection is. Meticulous execution of each artisanal technique brings power and confidence to the wearer, while the designer’s creative approach sizzles these understated pieces with a modern zest that felt innovative yet strikingly wearable.

In the Black. In Burberry Black.

Gerhard Freidl in Men’s Club May 2010.

Gerhard Freidl featured in the May 2010 issue of Men's Club Magazine

After seeing a man robbing sweeping Burberry by taking five huge bags of goods home right before my very eyes, my attitude towards the classic English brand, in particular its true irresistibility, has certainly changed immensely. Showing off its latest offerings in Japanese magazine Men’s Club is none other than the legally blond Austrian model Gerhard Freidl. Styled by Kazumi Horiguchi, Mr. Freidl is dressed in a smart and stylish selection of Burberry Black’s flawlessly tailored suits. The resulting images by photographer Yasutomo Ebisu show an effortlessly charming “English” gentleman, who is smooth and sharp all around!

The Individualist(s) by Luise & Franck Autumn/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

The Individualist(s) by Luise&Franck Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

The Individualist(s) by Luise&Franck

Commencing with a distinctively dark soundtrack of “Shake that devil” by the band Antony And The Johnsons, German designer Luise Schwarze and French designer Franck Pouchoulin’s collection for their label The Individualist(s) place a focus on the idea of lost time, as a man looks back to his lost childhood and reminisce the feeling of being free and protected.

Prada Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Milan

Prada Spring Summr Ready to wear 2010 Milano

Mark Cox in Prada Spring/Summer 2010

To be perfectly honest with you all, this season, I am more in love with Prada’s menswear line than with its womenswear collection. A walk through the brightly-lit store space complete with racks and racks of spring/summer goodies, this feeling just intensifies even more so. If I could, I would have certainly done a grabsweep-and-run, regardless of whether the pieces actually flatter me or not. Well… Yes, sir, yes! I’m crazy! I’m crazy in love!

Spring into Spring!

Stella McCartney's Strapless Ruffled Dress and Versace's Belted Floral Shirtdress

Stella McCartney's Strapless Ruffled Dress and Versace's Belted Floral Shirtdress

Hey, everyone! Welcome to 2010! I hope you all had a splendid New Year’s celebration and that 2010 will be filled with many great moments for you.

To begin 2010 officially, let’s start off being spring loaded with something that is simple yet everlastingly elegant – floral dresses. Two of the top choices from Bergdorf Goodman’s Spring Preview for me are: Stella McCartney’s Strapless Ruffled Dress (USD$1,965.00) and Versace’s Belted Floral Shirtdress (USD$1,985.00). With its alluring printwork of the precious blue and purple flower, Versace’s silk shirtdress is remarkably fresh and lively. Ms. McCartney’s A-line skirt with the pretty wisteria print is for sure a girl’s best friend! I love the fact that it’s young, fun and so unbelievably refreshing! Perfect for dancing all day and all night long.

Available for pre-order from Bergdorf Goodman.

Céline by Phoebe Philo Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Paris

Constance Jablonski, Natasha Poly and Jacquelyn Jablonski in Céline

Yes, I do miss Ivana, but… well… one must move on. Seeing the first look from the new collection at the French house of Céline is surely a pleasant surprise. What? It’s leather for spring/summer! So tough, yet so absolutely chic! These contrasting elements certainly create the chemical sparks for a blasting introduction to the second super charming collection by British designer Phoebe Philo for Céline.

Narciso Rodriguez Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010

Iris Strubegger, Freja Beha Erichsen and Monika Jagaciak in Narciso Rodriguez

Iris Strubegger, Freja Beha Erichsen and Monika Jagaciak in Narciso Rodriguez

The two things that make each Narciso Rodriguez collection beyond special for me are: the manner Mr. Rodriguez intertwines a unique architectural structure into each piece of his designs as well as the details and attention he put into the entire piece of clothing - from top to bottom and front to back – before presenting it on the runway and in stores. This certainly makes his minimal designs anything but ordinary – a true gift to today’s strong and powerful women, who not only is smart, but also dresses accordingly. Wink wink, Mrs. Obama!
