Raf Simons at Calvin Klein

Raf Simons made his debut at Calvin Klein during NYWFW.  I can honestly say I had no clue what was going on concerning the collection.  An iconic American brand in need of restart Mr. Simons with his pedigree was suppose to give a boast to the label,  make it Chic Again.

Simons first collection is a bit of everything looking for direction.  CK has been a brand known for minimalism, sexuality, and denim.

His interpretation of denim is to make it like a rigid Catholic School uniform.  The Minimalistic  looks were like crayons out of a box, a bit of a mess. The Sexy looks were more vulgar with the Nude Sheer Shirts for men.

I have high hopes for the designer even if this collection was a bit of a  misfire feeling like a vintage reworking. Raf’s  work at Jil Sander and his own label were the stuff of legends.

Roll or Fold

Do you fold or do you roll for a trip?  One of the main concerns for men packing for travel is how minimalize wrinkles.   Philips has solved this problem with a convenient device Steam&Go 2 in 1 Handheld Garment Steamer.  Compact, able to fit into a carry on or a 48 hour bag, the Steamer is the perfect device for quick touch ups of pants, shirts, ties, and suits.  Clothes are ready to go and wrinkle free.  The question of fold or roll has been answered.

Jimmy Choo at Milan Fashion Week Men

During Milan Fashion Week Men I paid a visit to the Jimmy Choo Presentation.   Celebrated for the subtle and not so subtle added elements of blink design.  The label continues to establish itself in menswear shoes.  This season the highlights were the more lux casual shoes.

Berlin Fashion Week Review

Berlin based designer Lana Mueller, Lana Mueller and co-owner Gelena Roizen, are known for creating feminine looks.   The designing duo has a preference for lace but this season their collection incorporated leather fabrics.  Combining strong with soft fabrics is never easy.  In my opinion the sheer and solid lace looks were stronger compared to the mixed material dresses.  The leather pieces of the collection lacked dramatic impact or excitement.

Behind the scenes with Ivanman at MBFWB

At Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Berlin we once again went behind the scenes to see the inner workings of the Ivanman menswear runway show.  The hustle and bustle of male models in the make-up and hairstyling chairs then the dressers preparing the looks, all has to go smoothly for show time.
