Fashion News Brief  Roberto Cavalli To Debut Couture Collection
By 212/BLOG
 



VIVA CAVALLI COUTURE

Roberto Cavalli is set to debut RC Couture next week– on the first day of Paris Couture Week. FASHIONOLOGIE reports that his recently opened Paris flagship contains a couture salon, and pieces from the debut line will be unveiled on models at Monday's event. We have no doubt Cavalli will sex up couture, which we’re more than excited to see. We’re suckers for sex, flash and glam– we can’t help ourselves.

DAVID & VICTORIA BECKHAM
 LENSED BY / MERT & MARCUS


We don't know which is hotter –Victoria or David! We think Vicky B may be stealing the show. And for some stalkerish celeb scoop– the smoking hot couple just celebrated their 10th anniversary.

Love but looks a little Tom Ford for Gucci no? We should note that Tomas Maier for Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2009 was BV perfection in our eyes.

Runway Report  Blaak Homme S/S 2010
By 212/BLOG
 



BLAAK HOMME SPRING/SUMMER 2010


IN THREE WORDS: PUNK, FUNK, CASUAL

THE LOOK: Fashion looks, some leaning more towards the punk funk side, others lean towards the more casual, sporty side. Think bright pops of color, animal and sea inspired prints, transparency and an urban take on pinstripes.

EXITS WE LOVE: 1, 2, 4, 6, 15, 16

WISHFUL THINKING: We’d like to see some of these looks in editorial as well. We love  a good punk right editorial… alas, we refer you to CONTRIBUTING EDITOR.

THE WORD FROM MR. BLANKS: No coverage via men.style.com.

WRAP UP: We’ve completed our men’s coverage. Please accept our apologies for the lapse in time, we've been covering on location due to a death in the family.

Runway Report  Ann D Men S/S 2010
By 212/BLOG
 



ANN DEMEULEMEESTER SPRING/SUMMER 2010


IN THREE WORDS: SENSUAL, ROCK N ROLL, ROMANCE

THE LOOK: Paired down romantic, rock and roll elegance.  Think exposed chests, body chains, a strict color palate of black , white and beige, harness belts, sequined cardigans, gorgeous monk meets boxer robes, leather pants! and an unusual lack of layering. This collection is a departure for Ann D.

EXITS WE LOVE: : 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 18, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30

WISHFUL THINKING: : We dig this complete collection and would  love to see the leather, sequins and monk meets boxer robes transition to the women’s collection for spring.

THE WORD FROM MR. BLANKS: “"I felt enlightened," said Ann Demeulemeester, by way of explaining her motivation for Spring 2010. Her enlightenment lightened her presentation, especially after the warrior extravagance of her Fall collection. Two words: no layers.”

Runway Report  Givenchy Men S/S 2010
By 212/BLOG
 



GIVENCHY SPRING/SUMMER 2010

IN THREE WORDS: GEOMETRIC, URBAN, STYLIZED

THE LOOK: Highly stylized urban menswear. Think Arabian style hooded headwraps, geometric black and white star shorts, gorgeous studded plaid, fantastical printed leggings with matching shorts, lame star motif shirts, some of the best shoes we’ve seen all season and a dash of Jesus Luz.

EXITS WE LOVE: 8, 11,  13, 15,  17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 35

WISHFUL THINKING: We loved this complete collection and would love to see all of it transfer to the women’s collection for SS2010. Riccardo Tisci is love love love.

THE WORD FROM MR. BLANKS: “But with Tisci insisting his theme was "Latino Boy Goes to Morocco" (his Latino boy is always going somewhere), the real heart of the collection was surely in the North African-inflected, layered activewear. It gelled very effectively with the shorts-over-leggings silhouette he's been offering for the past two seasons (which seems to have been adopted for Spring 2010 by a flying wedge of his peers), and gave the clothes a ferociously sexy athleticism, helped along by a model casting that ranged far and wide across the globe.”
