seen & believed

emascul8:

fur.  fur fur fur.  

rick did men’s fur.  

even in tanks and tunics :

plus, you know,

the usual collection of incredible silhouettes and such simple WEARABLE insightful design that you know how to wear even before you touch.

emascul8:

seamed leather gloves.

metal clutches.  for men.

white wellies.  with a back zip.

and trainers.  a new category for lanvin.  nine different materials in every pair.

why nine?  just cause.  

emascul8:

a key item from a seminal evolution in this brand,

this coat is everything you would expect in a classic camel overcoat,

mashed up with a perfectly youthful parka.

emascul8:

emascul8:

i like to think of this line as “CELINE FOR MEN”

because of the clean lines and sharp silhouettes?  a little bit.  maybe also for the capes.

maybe for the lush fur, more pattern than material, statement of luxury, but in color.

perhaps it’s the modern cuts and sharp suiting.

or perhaps it’s just that i can cram myself into CELINE and this is the closest i can get.

emascul8:

want.  need.  desire.

emascul8:

for that “madison avenue ponyskin in the UBER ride” kind of outdoors

emascul8:

graphic patterns in leather and cashmere.

camel, black, and navy.

what more do you need?  the man started Prada’s menswear … and just keeps getting better.

emascul8:

for a company known initially for their fine shoes

and astronomical prices, berluti is rapidly making its mark in menswear.

fw 13 … flawless.

the photography is insane, but the luxury oozes from these clothes.

emascul8:

former designer for lacoste,

current womenswear designer for hermes,

the man knows his way around adult clothing.

think clothing you wear without thought, with a sense of elegant restraint.

insanely large wraps suddenly look masculine.  and who doesn’t want a blanket to wear out around the town?

denim is not denim.  not jeans.  more japanese workwear.

and this is perhaps the most perfect overcoat.  ever.

emascul8:

emascul8:

classics with an animal edge.  

i want every coat. 

these shows are never about innovation.  they are about twists on clothing you want to wear.  year over year.

emascul8:

a cross between mapplethorpe’s b&w bondage themes

and all american varsity jackets,

these are the “it” jacket of the season.
