Russian model Sasha Pivovarova for H&M Fall 2009
This happened yesterday, after a long day of ogling some really really beyond great pieces from a lot of different labels, like Acne, Neil Barrett, Lanvin, Raf Simons, Rick Owens, Givenchy and etc. We finally made our way to H&M to buy the things we could truly afford and steal obtain three copies of H&M magazine on the way (Mmm… Marina Linchuk in underwear!).
The store at the time was as usual crowded with a swamp of people and amongst which, we spotted a woman, with a larger-than-her Miu Miu paper bag under her arm, struggling to squeeze through the rather tightly spaced racks in the sea of people to check out a particular extraordinaire of her taste. The sight of it was so ridiculously hilarious that it poked out my mean bone, as I spoke to my friend in English thinking that the “glamorous” owner of the fore-mentioned label would not understand a word coming from a certain blabber mouth, which spoke inconsiderately of her daring cynical thoughts: some stuff hailing from a certain peachy-pink label is just made of 100% cheese. Just as the word “overrated” was emphasised, the woman suddenly turned to look at us, took flight in a rather slapdash fashion and was gone with her overpowering big bag of goodies in a matter of microseconds. Well… Walls have ears and without the walls, oops…

A daunting yet delightful collection from Playhound by Greyhound
When people talk about Thailand, the word “fashion” rarely comes to mind; and that certainly makes it all the more special to learn about this terrific Thai fashion label – Playhound by Greyhound. The brand’s philosophy mixes the main line’s chic and contemporary, simple but never boring style; and adds a touch of youth and experimental attitude to the clothes to make it all the more irresistible. For fall/winter 2009, the three pieces I absolutely adore are the shoes with the bone-chilling X-ray vision of the foot showing each individual toes in detail; the tie with the print of the beautiful texture of age-old trees as well as the tie with the bloodcurdling X-ray image of the arm. These pieces, for me, is worn at its best with the song X Ray Vision by The Maccabees blasting on the speakers. Creepy is charming, no?
Playhound by Greyhound is available at Seibu in Hong Kong, Traffic boutique in Moscow and Paris, Opia shop in Zürich, Fourstore in Berlin and Tjaliamalla in Stockholm.

Lenz von Johnston, Clement Chabernaud and Danny Schwarz in Versace Uomo Spring Summer Ready-to-wear 2010
I just love Versace’s show, because it’s not for every man. It’s for hot man only! For Spring/Summer 2010, Donatella Versace presented a light collection that is sleek, sophisticated and so so so super sexy. The colours used range from crisp white, camel, peachy nudes, grey then finally, black. This gradual transition of colours perfectly mirrors a man’s wardrobe from day to night during the spring summer season – light colours for day and black for the evening time. The essence of the collection for me is in the precision in tailoring and a conspicuous confidence – drowned in the luxurious Italian fashion label’s distinctive lavish style from head to toe. Shown by a parade of muscular models - complete with delicious 6-packs - catwalking along to the cool beats of The Rakes’ 22 Grand Job and The Maccabes’ X-ray vision, the runway presentation was an infectious affair that gets me catwalking out of the venue wishing that I have Lenz in my arms.

Alisa Matviychuk, Mina Cvetković and Ksenia Kahnovich in Lacoste
There are times, when I think is it really necessary for Lacoste to do a show each season? I mean what else can you do with sportswear? It’s always the same ol’ stuff! However, each season, Creative Director Christophe Lemaire proposes a strong well-argumentted rebut that leaves me gasping for more!

Dear Robert,
Danish model Mathias Lauridsen – wanted and needed. Alive and sexy, please!
From the response of ”*lol*”, which I received upon the blog post entitled “Nordiska Kompaniet Summer 2009 Catalog” with subject matter of the Danish model Mathias Lauridsen; I cannot help but sense a kind of sarcasm and perhaps… a bit of jealousy from you! Am I right?

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen in NK
When we talk about my favourite department stores, how could we not mention Nordiska Kompaniet (Swedish: The Nordic Company)? Well… I have never been to NK’s store in Gothenburg, but the one is Stockholm is enough to make me crazy every time I go there. I just love how they decorate the entire store – from the exterior to the very core of it. Everything is incredibly immaculate, like how it should be.

Ties with flower motif from Duchamp
For those of you, who think floral prints belong only to the territory of womenswear, well… think again! Gentlemen, please clean your glasses and get ready for these terrific ties from Duchamp. Decorated with a beautiful floral motif, these silk ties are the perfect accessory to add a delicate touch of nature in full bloom to your wardrobe. As American Artist Georgia O’Keeffe said, “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment“. The imagery is just absolutely powerful. Presented in the picture above from left to right are: Spindle blossom tie, Thirties floral tie, Floral tie, Cut out floral tie and Floral honeycomb tie. All from Duchamp and are available at Harvey Nichols.

Strictly in your face!
This is a true story and it happened a few days ago, while I was on the train. I don’t know if you are one of those people, but every time you get a seat on the train/subway, do you start thinking everything is going to be fine? Well… I am one of those people, but now I know I was wrong. It happened when I had sat comfortably and at peace on my seat for like at least a good 20 minutes. Deep asleep, I was completely off guard, but then, all of a sudden, we arrived at a stop; and this chatterbox housewife lady, who was standing perpendicularly next to me, suddenly remembered that this is her stop, so she quickly said goodbye to her friend and bent down to pick up her grocery bags. However, as she did so, her fat nice and rounded bum was right in my face. Ohhh… Thank god, she is not wearing this season’s ultra-mini-dresses! Otherwise, I don’t know what I should wash my eyes with to restore my vision ever again.

Men's Boots from Givenchy Fall 2009 Collection
How many times have I heard boys saying how they want to be girls, so that they could wear all those pretty dresses? Well… Guys, you could take that back! With Givenchy’s great assortment of to-die-for boots for fall/winter 2009/10 – all thanks to creative designer Riccardo Tisci - boys would want to be boys and girls would want to be boys boys boysss!
Thigh hi boots are a major trend for womenwear this fall/winter; and Mr. Tisci certainly made sure the boys don’t miss out the fun by offering a delectable range with a terrific bandage design that is horrifically bewitching. My favorite pair has to be the one with the sparkly spangled fabric in navy blue or midnight black.
For people, who have a fear of extreme heights, Mr. Tisci created an awesome assortment of ankle boots in the same stunning style. The colour palette of the ankle boot collection extends from the dark zone to mummy’s beige! Mama mia! If this does not satisfy my monstrous appetite for shoes, then, god knows the earth must be spinning topsy turvy?
Shown in the picture above from top left to bottom right are:
- Ankle boots in black spangled fabric with leather trim
- Ankle boots in beige leather trimmed with beige elastic bandage
- Thigh boots in navy blue shiny leather trimmed with elastic bandages
- Ankle boots in navy blue fabric with leather trim
- Ankle boots in black shiny leather trimmed with black elastic bandage
Available at Givenchy stores, worldwide.

Adrian Bosch, Nikola Jovanovic and Matvey Lykov in Dries Van Noten Spring Summer 2010 Collection
Is Dries Van Noten men and Dries Van Noten women one of the most matching couples in fashion history ever? Just like the Belgian designer’s womens collection, which we have just seen yesterday, South East Asia is the source of inspiration for menswear as well – creating an easy and non-chalant collection that is smart yet casual and refined yet never over the top.
