    Pitti Uomo Part 1

    Stay Tuned for more coverage.  I am a bit late but Easy Jet gave me a choice.  Either underwear or PC.  I had to leave the PC causing delays of  my reports.

  • Pitti Uomo Dandy Report

    It is always fun to attend Pitti Uomo.  The Dandys or Peacocks walking around showing off their looks are impressive but at times some looks felt overdone.  We think what makes a great look is if the looks seem effortless not like a math equation. Stylist Gianni and I share share our views from Florence. […]

  • Action + Words=3

    I have written about this subject in the past.  It is easy to protest, be a part of a movement that does not involve negative consequences.

Damaged by Allied bombings in 1943 the […]

  • Hi Tops from Dior

Luxury labels must court new buyers to stay relevant.  I am not sure where the line is drawn between courting and desperate attempt.   The new Nike Air Jordan hi-top crosses the border. The […]

Viewed at Milan Fashion Week.

  • Which One?

    As Fashion Weeks approach I think there are now 3 categories of fashion types attending the shows and events. The Fashion World is driven by character absorption of media images. I classify them in 3 categories: The Carrie Bradshaws, The Anna Wintours, and The Kardashians.  The Big 3 First, The Carrie Bradshaws of the fashion […]
