Visual Checking

Men can be handsome just by being. Sorry ladies, since the industrial revolution men have been liberated from pageantry, no more make up, wigs, or fancy dress attire. Masculine attractiveness became “mininmal physical”.  The modern suit is all he needs.  A style that has not changed in 130 years. 

As I take the train to a business city, I noticed gentlemen in nice suits. YES! A suit can make the man. Complete with polished shoes and a brief case. It adds points to his visual appearance. There is a tall slim guy on in a jacket and suit, he looks good because the clothing enhances his length. Polished shoes are important. I usually casually look down to check the style and state. BINGO! He is a man with confidence, going somewhere. If he is wearing a nice watch,,, husband material. Should I look for the ring on the finger before the visual check? No! It takes away the spirt of the game.

Milan Fashion Week

Black and Paper coverage in Milan.  Quick images and write ups from Milan Fashion Week.  Stay tuned for more coverage.

Casadei-Mr. Casadi was tamed this season in a way but I liked the thigh high boots.

 

Ultrachic theme this season was Back to School with humor.

Celebrating it’s 90th anniversary, Furla stayed with strength by launching variations of the MyBag, a playful collection handbags with different flaps.

Vladimiro Gioia’s collection of furs might not be for the politically correct but his other looks of organza and silk hit the spot.

Fratelli Rossetti decided on personality this season for the new collection.  I am excited to see the brand break out of the comfort zone.  It is a masculine collection yet still classic.

A label making strides with its own definition of femininity veering towards the masculine side.  I was pleased with this collection.

Roberto Cavalli decadence rock&roll looks are for the adventurous, the label never disappoints.
