FFfT: Boys' League

HIS & HERS // JIL SANDER // MAN DATE // JGL // FEELING YOU

i'll be the first to admit that i am not that savvy on menswear. so, as style.com announced that they were incorporating full menswear reviews and photos to their runway coverage, i gave myself a homework assignment: read CRASHING THE BOYS' CLUB . this who's who of the menswear world does a juxtaposition of the powerful women of fashion with their male counterparts.

photo'd above - sir robert rabensteiner (opposite anna dello russo), contributing fashion editor for L'Uomo Vogue.

how in the world did raf simons already design and show the jil sander spring 2011 collection? we're barely starting summer 2010! anyways, style.com just posted photos from the show in their first-ever menswear runway coverage and i couldn't help but be blinded by the insanely bright color palette. only a select few can master this look, so boys...color with caution!

just taking a gelato break in between shows. this is so cute!

joseph gordon levitt is that quirky, eccentric, good boy-turned-hot type guy that i am most definitely into. i just had to include a photo of him and his impeccable style to go along with this man-friendly FFtF post. no other man can make drunken karaoke'ing of "here comes your man" sexier. definitely a Handsome Man's Club member.

what if a stranger came up to you and said, "hi, i'm really feeling you"..

i can dig it.

happy friday!

Fashion Luxury, Forget It. It's OVER.

viva vena's spring 2010

T by alexander wang, fall 2010

well this is interesting. not that we didn't see this coming, kelly cutrone just put it into the most simple, saddening words:

"Here is what I think is the future: Street life and life style. Style is in; fashion luxury, forget it. It's over. Gucci, Vuitton, Hermes ... all those places are really great, go for it. That business exists in a city called Paris, France. That's where that is. Those businesses will continue. Retail business, pretty much over. I think people who sell to retail companies are people who can't afford their own stores. The poor boys — Old Navy, J.Crew, Gap ... they already knew that and aren't wholesaling. Editorial, magazine, we are going to say buh-bye to them as we know them. They will still exist but everything is on the internet."

haute couture, major fashion editorials in vogue, etc., bespoke one-of-a-kind jewels, made-to-order, at least one-year-wait-list luxe skinned birkins...aren't those the things we bloggers & fashion lovers live for? yes, a bit of an exaggeration, but in our economy's current state, it's not much to ask for some eye candy from our beloved fashion houses, is it?

so as i look through vena cava's lil' sister line, VIVA VENA, and alex wang's T by alexander wang collection, i finally get what this is all about. reaching a broader demographic? the only way to keep their company afloat? a little bit of both i think. those GO international for Target capsule collections, just like the aforementioned, are i think a way for the big guys to reach out to the little people. and we little people greatly appreciate it. don't get me wrong, i am allll for affordability, but is it really necessary to say IT'S OVER to high-end, kelly? i hope this will be the first time you're going to be wrong...

Style Crush: Miroslava Duma

Miroslava with another beautiful and fashionable girl, Margherita Missoni.

I love how she take this baggy, rapper-like sweater and turns it into something chic and unexpected by adding a fur vest, aviators, and a Chanel 2.25.

Now THOSE are leather shorts. I love how they're not all tight and squishy, but really look comfortable. I also really like the high waist with the lenght, makes it look THAT much classier. She pairs them with a sequined top and minimal accessories, making it perfect for day.

Despite her age, (25) Miroslava Duma is a fashion editor for Harper's Bazar Russia (So I understand) and is a regular at fashion shows. This is the perfect outfit to show her status as a working woman, but one that pays attention to her looks.

Well guys, gotta run. I really enjoyed typing this up though, maybe "Style Crush" will become a regular feature! Ciao!

xoxo,

anna
