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!

A walk into Jil Sander’s sleek minimalist store, we discovered an irresistible menswear collection that made us drool so bad that completely ruining the store’s all around pleasant ambience eventually became the ultimate most undeserved fate for the lovely luxury store.

You Make The Sun Shine Brighter Than Doris Day

Richard Nicoll's sunny resort 2010 collection

Richard Nicoll's sunny resort 2010 collection

When I first spotted Richard Nicoll’s sunny resort collection at Harvey Nichols, the ultra cool beverage of Orange Mocha Frappucino, as drunk by the four fantastic male models in the movie Zoolander (2001), immediately popped straight out of my mind. I like the warm, fuzzy and uplifting character of the collection. It truly radiates this “you make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day” character. Presented in the picture above are:

Versace Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Milano Menswear

I just love Versace’s show, because it’s not for every man. It’s for hot man only! For Spring/Summer 2010, Donatella Versace presented a light collection that is sleek, sophisticated and so so so super sexy. The colours used range from crisp white, camel, peachy nudes, grey then finally, black. This gradual transition of colours perfectly mirrors a man’s wardrobe from day to night during the spring summer season – light colours for day and black for the evening time. The essence of the collection for me is in the precision in tailoring and a conspicuous confidence – drowned in the luxurious Italian fashion label’s distinctive lavish style from head to toe. Shown by a parade of muscular models - complete with delicious 6-packs - catwalking along to the cool beats of The Rakes22 Grand Job and The MaccabesX-ray vision, the runway presentation was an infectious affair that gets me catwalking out of the venue wishing that I have Lenz in my arms.

Nordiska Kompaniet Summer 2009 Catalog

When we talk about my favourite department stores, how could we not mention Nordiska Kompaniet (Swedish: The Nordic Company)? Well… I have never been to NK’s store in Gothenburg, but the one is Stockholm is enough to make me crazy every time I go there. I just love how they decorate the entire store – from the exterior to the very core of it. Everything is incredibly immaculate, like how it should be.

Is Dries Van Noten men and Dries Van Noten women one of the most matching couples in fashion history ever? Just like the Belgian designer’s womens collection, which we have just seen yesterday, South East Asia is the source of inspiration for menswear as well – creating an easy and non-chalant collection that is smart yet casual and refined yet never over the top.

I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted an Asian face opening Roland Mouret’s Spring/Summer 2010 Show.  That just comes to show the fashion world truly appreciates all kind of beauties from all corners of the world. Viva la Difference! Liu Wen was the name of the Chinese model, who graced Mr. Mouret’s glamorous runway as first face. Dressed in a deep V-necked dress in champagne gold with glimmering excess jewellery, Ms. Liu lighted up the illustrious runway with her grace and seductive Eastern appeal.
