  • A Plunge into fashion

    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 […]

  • Dondup from MFWM

    From Milan Fashion Week Men, Dondup offered a fresh lively take on outerwear for Spring 2019.  The collection veered to the masculine side but in a soft way.   Men who are looking for wearable pieces should check the label out.

  • Casual Luca L.

    During Milan Fashion Week Men I popped over to Luca Larenza presentation. Other than being a nice guy, the menswear designer leans toward the casual side of mens fashion. The collection is leisure wear with retro looks. I admit this was not my favourite from him. I liked his winter looks more. If a man is looking to relax without effort. These pieces are for him.

  • Here We Come Gorgeous

    Excitement is in the air.  Or should we say on a lake. The next Black and Paper fashion production will take place in Northern Italy, at Lake Garda. Preparing the details, the team cannot help but feel excited.   A location of spectacular scenery that inspires  our imagination.   The collaboration born from a discussion […]

  • Byblos Northern Lights

    Forgive the crazy review. When I arrived in Milan on Wednesday morning of Fashion Week the schedule went off the rails quickly. The Byblos winter 2019 was suppose to be the 3rdshow of the day for me. A tad wind blown when I arrived to the location by press shuttle, I knew the brand but had no […]

  • Fashion Theatre from Marras

    Fashion Theatre from Marras

    The Antonio Marras Show at Milan Fashion Week combined a catwalk with live performance theatre. I was not sure what I was suppose to watch, the models, the singers, the stage shows.  The unique setting in an antique space made the event all the more theatrical.  The collection mixed  dark romanticism with a 1930’s feel […]

  • Buy Fab! Return Later!

    Inside many of us lurks an Elisabeth Taylor trying to get out. Glamour requires the right clothing. Everyone wants to lead a glamorous life. Getting the right looks are a part of the formula, overcoming the obstacle of costs is simple: buy today, wear tomorrow, return the day after tomorrow.   During Fashion Weeks the […]

  • Statement Menswear

    While At Pitti Uomo this year I stumbled on the menswear brand In The Box.  I am a fan of knitwear, then mixed with color. It has my attention. For a gentlemen looking for statement accessories, I recommend the label. The Italian company produces all of its collection in Italy.  For the nearest store and to learn […]

  • A Sportswear Rival Born.

    A Sportswear Rival Born.

    Spyder is a Korean-American active wear label. I attended the presentation last June. I found the collection impressive. In January 2019 at Milan Fashion Week Men the brand held its first runway show. Menswear mingled with a few womenswear looks. It is too early to say if Spyder can become a rival to the likes […]
