Tom Ford 2011 Fall/Winter Campaign

As you guys might already know I have a great love for anything Tom Ford and his latest fall campaign is not exception. I admire his creative talent as he usually shoots his own campaigns much like Lagerfeld, but this time around he got the help of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. You guys might recognize their name from their short lived Bravo TV show. This campaign features Candice Swanepoel for his womenswear collection and fashion house favorite Jon Kortajarena who was has been the face for the brand on and off for many seasons. Kortajarena was also featured in Ford's film A Single Man in 2009.

Silly But Fun: New York

So this are the last batch of pictures from my trip... I had so much fun; I ran around the city, shopped, went out and about on the town and rode the subway at extremely late hours of the night (maybe that was not the best idea) but it was all worth it. I plan to move one day because Florida seems over done for me.

Savage Beauty at the Met

In New York I also went to the Alexander McQueen exhibit which was absolutely incredible, breath taking even. The museum did not let visitor take pictures but thanks to my little camera phone I was able to snap a couple of shots of his last Spring 2010 collection and one Givenchy Couture dress (sorry for the poor quality). The rest of the pictures are of my friend Lea Zora and I outside of the Metropolitan museum.

Midtown Mob: New York

I was in New York City for a couple of days with a friend of mine and I took this as the perfect time to take some pictures. I was walking around Midtown and stumble upon the fire department station and they were nice enough to let me take a couple of pictures. They turned out great, the other pictures are of people I found randomly and abstract things. Hope you guys like it!

Menswear Recap

Okay I've been on vacation (pictures to come) so I haven’t been able to blog for over a week, probably more like 2 weeks now. I didn't finish the menswear shows and the complete review on them. I didn’t even cover Couture, along with fashion news and Kate Middleton American adventure. Woah I really fell behind with all of this and I had so much to say. Now I understand why bloggers carry small netbooks where ever they travel, keeping up with all of it wasn’t that bad thanks to my smartphone.

Going back to menswear: okay I talked about John Galliano, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Band of Outsiders, Balmain, Givenchy, Missoni, and Burberry Prorsum. I wish I had more time to cover more shows but I had no time what so ever, some of the shows that deserved to be covered were: Alexander McQueen, Mugler, Hermès. There was chic and adventure coming from these shows that really made an impact on the runway in Paris and Milan.

Mugler

This season we saw something more interesting than the usual tailored suits that come from the menswear shows. Maybe it was the loud impact of the Mugler show which brought us modern Greek superheros or the Rock and Roll motif we saw in Lanvin and Alexander McQueen but one thing is for sure the Spring 2012 collections will be a hit for retailers. One of my favorite pieces from the Mugler show was the denim look, Nicola Formichetti brought the idea of the the whole denim outfit but toward the modern Greek hero with the silver chocker.

Alexander McQueen

Along with all the craziness  of some of the shows there were some travelers chic collections like Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Balenciaga that really made me look twice and admire the well tailor clothing. They brought clean lines and tailored clothing which the modern man will fall in love with. Traveling apparel was eminent in Vuitton and Hermès with bags meant for travel and apparel meant to be worn in a world wide adventure. Balenciaga in the other hand went with cleaner cuts and lines by color blocking, tailor suits and jackets.

Balenciaga

Hermès

The last important trend of the season was the surprising use of prints, obviously Prada with their floral golf collection but also Burberry and Givenchy which presented digital prints. I'm usually skeptical with the use of prints but the collections did an amazing job really translating it to a whole another level for consumers to appreciate.
