Alexander McQueen AW'16 Menswear

Meet Edward Scissor Hands Fashionable cousin... Before we get into the collection I want to address a fun fact. This year's AW Mens collection was presented as "Alexander McQueen"and not just "Mcqueen" as they were trying to Shorten the brand's name, which was obviously an utter mistake, even though I have to sides to this decision... The brand will clearly not ever be the same without McQueen himself, and even though Sarah Burton was his right hand and she has somewhat kept the brand's over all image -although Im sure to for her own liking-, it's clear that Sarah has her own vision, that she has not been able to fully showcase, and this only suggests that, that moment is not coming any time soon. Bad News for Sarah, but I guess this are good news for the brand itself. Now lets get to the fun stuff. The collection has a very grunge, punk-ish vibe, and it sort of reminded me of Edward Scissor Hands, this was more do to the styling on the r

LCM (London Collections Men) AW16 Day 3

J.W Anderson I'll take two of each please... Anderson is not one to disappoint, this collection is one of my favorites from day 3, a perfect combination between artistry and trending elements. Perfectly structured, oversized knitted sweaters, abstract printed coats and silky fabrics, make this collection a definite must have. Not for an everyday feel, but more for the daring fashionistas, who are not afraid to make a trend set. Color was mostly bright and neutral with some opaque blacks, navy's and grey's and a pop of color at the bottom with the orange - crimson ish shoes. Statement pieces no doubt, all of them. Margaret Howell Classic and retro... people in the fashion industry say fashion is all about looking forward, but more often rather then not we see collections inspired in a certain decade or element from the past... That is the case for the collection of Margaret Howell, not that the prior is a bad thing, he have seen it done before and so we have

LCM (London Collections Men) AW16, Day 2

Agi & Sam Lean and Clean, that's how I describe this collection. Clean cuts and lean fabrics make this a must have collection, the play within lengths and simple asymmetries make the pieces definite must haves. Layering plays an important and not so very noticeable part on this collection, it is so well put together, that the layering is almost unnoticeable and gives it that lean not so heavy structure. Slightly oversized  pieces make a perfect collection from start to finish. The colors remain on the darker size of the color paled, but we see the inclusion of brown and emerald green, along with the more often see navy blue and beige. From the colors to the fabrics and overall simplicity concept this is one the best collections from day 2. E. Tautz Fifty shades of grey... Tautz was feeling grey and blue for this season, as these were the colors the reigned the collection, we see a display a different ranges of grey that make perfect matching outfits, with of cou

Between dark colors and some floral and symetric patterns, Top Man offers a fresh proposal for you to wear the upcoming winter season. Denim was no exception on the runway, it made and appearance in some of the pieces on the show, including one long coat that was actually one of my favorite pieces from the collection. The fabrics and patterns gave the collection it's fresh and young approach, as well as that wintery feel we get from the darker side of the color p

Golden Globe Awards 2016

And so it begins! It is here folks! awards season has officially kicked off, and oh boy did it kick. I was expecting a lot of conservative, plain colors and such, but I... we, had ourselves a pleasant surprise, COLOR! I was so pleasantly and overwhelmingly surprised to see such a display of color and texture down the Globes red carpet, seems like the celebs are over the monochromatic phase, and even thought I am all up for it, I could not be more exited about such a brilliant display. From Bright colors to embroidered masterpieces and of course some classic looks, the Golden Globes Red Carpet was a show of its own. Bright Stars Take a look at darling America Ferrera in classic and simple yet so fresh Jenny Packham ensemble, she always makes great decisions and for sure knows what looks good and flattering on her. Who can say they did not turn their heads at least 4 times to Jlo's Valli's Gown (that just in case you were not starring in the first place) And o

OOTD : Coat'ta Have It!

Hello Sappers! Hope you all had a very pleasant holiday season amongst your loved ones. With endings, come new beginnings, and as we say good bye to year 2015, we now welcome year 2016, hope you all find closure and clarity and are able to keep moving ahead and forward. I live in a tropical country (Honduras), so coats are not a big most here, but I love them, and the seasonal weather sort of allowed me to portrait the look a couple of times. To Start of the year I give you this year's first look. "Coat'ta Have It" Coats are really the easiest or garments to wear, and there's virtually no way for you to mess it up, but never say never right... But really coats are quite easy to wear, and as I am showing you on this post, and keeping my simple approach on things, and because the weather didn't really allowed me to wear it any other way, I present to you the casual, simplest way to wear a coat.
