Emmanuelle Alt's first!

it's her first Vogue Paris cover as editor-in-chief. well done.

before i even begin, i know in a year or two i'll look back at this post and ask myself what in the hell i was thinking. these colors? these prints? d&g?!??? but, after all, fashion is about the moment, the now... so tonight, i digress. i honestly believed my obsession over graphic prints were done and over with. also, i have thought to believe by the fashion of late that bright colors were the yesteryears of the return of the 90s. i've been proven wrong, but oddly enough i'm quite pleased. the graphic prints on these looks are just a bit much for me but somehow... in some miraculous and twisted way... it works. the silhouette is amazingly cool. the graphic prints are put together well enough to pass as anything but a random jumble of letters and words. the colors are not just bright, but it's bold and it pops just the right amount. i can't even not mention the wedged sneakers. i mean... how horrifyingly adorable are they. i almost want a pair just for fun. what i loved the most was the partnership of knits and chiffon, and later on in the collection loose chiffon and sequins. and to top it all of, the models walked out for the finale wearing feathered skirts that made my jaw drop in disbelief. it wasn't that i couldn't believe something like that was on the runway. it was a disbelief in how crazy in love i was with this collection, down to the finale. my mind just went... boom.

Men's Spring 2010

Today's beautiful weather proved to me that Spring is just around the corner, waiting for its grand entrance. It might almost be that time to shed your winter coats, store away your cashmere, and pull out the clothes that don't make you look 10 pounds heavier. Hooray! However this time, I want to bring attention to the MEN. As interesting and fascinating women's fashion always was, is, and will be, men's fashion correlates with ours. Considering this is the era of 'unisex apparel', take the time to study the opposite sex's closet and wonder about the potential each piece might have as your own.

Some key trends to have in your wardrobe: the perfect blazer, variety of chinos (in a variety of colors), loafers, and lightweight knit vests & cardigans. I've selected my favorites, as always, so enjoy! Oh, and remember that just because it says "MENS" doesn't mean it's only for the boys... *wink.
