YEEZY Season 1 - LETS KEEP IT REAL



Ok this is a late post due to illness but come on now people make up your minds ... Yeezy season 1 hit stores last week and the same scandalous people who slated it when it was first shown in New York were the first people to praise it... I quote GQ "Yeezy season 1 is available tomorrow and it's worth the wait" that's not what mags were saying back when it was shown. 


This is why I don't buy magazines as editors sell their souls for free goods and a high salary and will say anything just so they can continue to get their seats at the show ... I mean it's Kanye West and you'll get to meet him so it's understandable that they would sell their souls ... But is this what they are paid for? No !!!


Let's keep it real GQ and Esquire, remember you have a responsibility to report the truth for your readers

Alexander McQueen | Spring/Summer 2016 | Backstage Film

http://www.alexandermcqueen.com - Behind the scenes at the Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2016 runway show 

A profound respect for the artisanal makes craftsmanship the heart of the house of Alexander McQueen and the collection for Spring/Summer 2016 looks to the people of Spitalfields from the late 17th century, the Huguenot migrants who arrived in London as religious refugees. They brought with them their knowledge, skill in weaving and a love of naturalistic floral designs inspired by “The Line of Beauty” philosophy.

There’s a bohemian elegance to the McQueen woman this season as Sarah Burton draws on the roots and myths of English folklore to bring together the mood of the collection. Burton has also been exploring consistently the idea of heirlooms and found objects. Garments too carry history and hence feel precious and the collection has been finished and treated with a tactile hand, so that materials and surfaces feel aged and familiar.

LIMITED EDITION - John Lobb - Fowey




Today see’s the launch of the limited edition ankle boot - FOWEY

 

FOWEY is a feat of craftsmanship and inspection and is the most intricate and complex shoe John Lobb have made this year -  It truly showcases the level of skill and talent at John Lobb.





The complexity of its construction is a result of six weeks highly skilled craftsmanship that pays tribute to the uncompromising quality and care that goes into every John Lobb shoe.

 

This single eyelet ankle boot is crafted from two pieces of Museum Calf leather and its primary seams are entirely hand sewn to provide its unique and elegant design.

 

Crafted on the 8695 last, it features an elegant almond shaped toe and sits on the John Lobb Prestige sole which can be identified by its finely wheeled welts, hand sculptured waists, tapered heels and rounded sole bottoms.

 

Available in  - plum, black and navy, its beautifully mottled patina is based on an ancient tanning method that sees layer upon layer of natural dyes artfully applied to create a gradual and subtle variation in tone.

With only 1,000 produced, each pair of Fowey is individually stamped with a number on the sole and will come in a unique blue John Lobb shoebox.

United Colors of Benetton, a new commitment for all the world's women





With “A Collection Of Us” and Benetton Women Empowerment Program the Italian fashion brand reinterprets its own essence; a unique offering of knitwear and social commitment

 

 

Women telling their stories and listening to other women’s stories: only by sharing their wisdom will the world’s women be able to build a better future for us all.

 

BENETTON WE

This is the philosophy behind “A Collection Of Us”, a brand new United Colors of Benetton collection, composed of four capsules which will be released in October, December, February and April, respectively. Heritagetechniquecolourperformance: each of the capsule lines revamp a central element of the brand’s identity by reinterpreting it and charging it with dynamic, contemporary meaning.

 

Knitwearcolour and innovation hold “A Collection Of Us” together. The capsule collections bring this three-way alliance back to the center of the stage, highlighting the technical skills that create soft, polished, on-trend, high performance knitwear, and drawing attention to the imagination and forward-thinking spirit of Benetton fashion.

 

global campaign will also be launched on October 22 to accompany “A Collection Of Us”. It will feature five female models, each belonging to a different generation and background, each carrying a message of emancipation and empowermentto be spread through digital and traditional media, and destined to reach all of the world’s women.

 

What if every woman in the world could be the protagonist of her own story? This question is at the base of the new social commitment by the Treviso-based clothing company, whose sustainability strategy for the coming years will focus specifically on women who are still waiting to be guaranteed a sustainable livelihood and full participation in all economic sectors.

 

The “Benetton Women Empowerment Program” is a long term initiative that supports projects and concrete actions aimed at targeting important key priorities for women, following the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations for 2030: sustainable livelihoodnon discrimination and equal opportunities, access to quality education and healthcare and an end of all forms of violence against women.

 

Benetton’s Women Empowerment Program takes roots in the Italian fashion brand’slong history of social commitment and moves on to recognize that gender equality is not only a human right, but a necessary step toward building a peaceful, prosperous and more sustainable world for all.

The James Bond Effect


Days Just a week before the new James Bond film is released, website StylePilot has revealed that 007’s dapper style is influencing menswear with single breasted slim fit suits topping AW15 wish lists this season. As Daniel Craig (pictured left as James Bond in Spectre)

suits up for the release date on 26th October, London-based men’s fashion online search platform StylePilot has revealed that the number of searches for ‘slim fit suit’ has increased by 84% over the last year and outstrips the searches for ‘regular suit’ by a ratio of seven to one. In addition, men are seeking out ‘single breasted’ suits outnumbering ‘double breasted’ six searches to one. The suit is a classic piece of

tailoring that is a style staple in every man’s wardrobe. The shape has evolved over time with subtle differences marking the change between decades from high-waisted flare trousers teamed with long

jackets to the oversize slouchy look that the dominated the 80s. 







StylePilot’s CEO Stefan Maurel explains: “For AW15, the suit falls into two categories which are defined by trouser shapes. Firstly, wide legs are starting to gather pace, whether it is a 70s style flare or a Zoot suit style which finishes with a peg leg or a cuff. These are worn looser around the leg finished off with cool layers on top and a longer jacket or coat for colder months. The second style is a skinnier shorter leg which will be everywhere by SS16. In practice this will be skinny and sharp finishing with a neat hem or a turn up for a flash of the ankle. With this style a fitted longer coat balances it out or a shorter jacket is super cool and shows lots of confidence. I think it is clear from 





these stats that although the fash pack are enjoying a wide leg, James Bond and the consumer are still favouring a clean sharp slim fit for their suit.

Stefan Maurel continues: “When it comes to buying a suit, my advice is to build your closet around the essentials and a well-cut suit is a very good place to start. If it works for Bond, it works for me too. This tuxedo from Kingsman (pictured) is my favourite for evening events. It is a great investment piece that is fresh, modern and will remain in fashion for years to come. The deep navy jacket has contrasting silk-grosgrain lapels in black and I love the slim fit trousers in cotton twill with pressed creases for a smart finish. Kingsman is the brand from Mr Porter so expect quality across the board with Italian-sourced cloth and English craftsmanship making this a luxury suit to be worn with a bow tie and shoes by Oliver Sweeney.”
