Fashionistas Of The Month (June '10)

 

 I am back! To posit completely useless meanderings on what fashion means to me (on a month to month basis).  Exams are finished for the time being and so we can all reconvene on an assault of the senses which brothers film and fashion so ably provide.

Thats a welcoming opener right? I'm a sucker for speeches.

I thought for this month i'd start with two fashionistas for whom the overwhelming theme is confidence. Plain and simple.  Both carry an insouciant nonchalence which elevates their fashion and projection of themselves to a degree of cool which wears as easy as the white flats on the soles of the lady's feet.  It's an almost understated youthful elegance which comes from blending classic shades to form a coherent, sexy and quasi-formal look.  

Where do you start with the man! From the woody green tie pin clashing with the navy-checkered print to the over-sized plastics.  Personally its the slanted pockets accentuated by the bumblebee yellow which had me at hello.  Sometimes these combinations can be tumultuous and scream ''OVER-COMPENSATION'' but here its carried off in an easy, unmeticulous manner which many aim for but rarely achieve.

Ultimately, the Fiorentini have a inpregnable confidence to mix and match and splash and splosh.  

We could all take note.

Fashionistas Of The Month (Oct' 09)

Every month I will be adding an image of everyday fashion at its best (male/female, and any age as fashion embalms us all).  These will be images taken by the fantastic Scott Schuman (see link at post footer).

The first was taken in London.  I love how the different textures are displayed with an easy assuredness, almost nonchalence with the underlying white vest top providing a platform for vivid and imaginative outlayers.

P.S. shoes like those should be curated!

This was taken on Rue St. Honore in Paris.

The white vest top again provides the rythmic underlay, but here the richest blues caress and overlap each other resulting in an opulent, cerulean cool.

The sandals finish off the outfit well in this instance.  Most men will generally wear sandals (desultorily) with any piece of clothing resulting in a completely distasteful look, but these are elegant and restrained which helps...
