Lamenting DESIGNS

What happened to mobile phone designs? New smartphone designs are the same.  They completely lack style. If you have seen one, you have seen them all.  I am looking forward when a tech brand breaks the current monotony.

Enchanted Luxury

Sponsored by Canon Germany 

Luxury brand Serapian invited me to their presentation during Milan Fashion Week. The setting impressed me.  I wondered if a certain Hollywood actress would come down the marble stair case.  

A quick look at the Serapian collection.

These are classic pieces that will be in style for a long time.

Stay Classic. It Lasts Longer.

Times are changing but some things are always the same. Menswear style is evolving quickly. Subculture trends continute to elbow their way into the mainstream. Gender free looks loved by millennials. As a fashion term, “gender free” is lost term on me, coined by the media to keep up with general public’s lifestyle acceptance. Streetwear now conveys credentials of modernity.  The more you look “in today” the more out you look tomorrow. 

While 2019 is not short of trends. Some feel fleeting. Contemporary man may explore different fashion avenues but mens styles absorb then veers towards classic. Style Maestro David Bowie transitioned from flamboyant showman to tailored threads.

Since the Industrial Revolution masculinity has been based on a physical appearance with upper class perspectives. A man wearing a nice suit goes to the head of the line. As my grandmother said, “always have a nice pair of shoes.”  Mix and match if you can. 

Stay tuned for my recommendations on what a man should have in his closet.  Secondly, how to mix and match pieces for a “max effect”.

A Plunge into fashion

Austrian brand Alpha Tauri is now on sale in the Berlin department store KaDeWe. The Red Bull owned label is new on the fashion block. The team introduced me to the brand at Press Days last fall. The collection is based on premium outer and athletic leisurewear made in Europe. Emphasizing high tech materials and 3-D printing production techniques are the core approach. 

Design wise I would say the pieces combine the masculine with the minimal.

Enjoy the Simple

I love simple walks on the beach.  The picturesque resort town of Usedom is a treasure for holiday goers.  I go every year to unwind to detox.  

High season can be busy but during March, April, May front row hotels are available at good prices.
