For the fashion forward alpha males out there

2010 fw season for menswear has begun and i went thru a couple of shows as well as those for 2010 ss.

My sartorial advice for men:
Do invest in a good coat and a good hand carry bag (NOT shoulder bags).
Coats sd be of a suitable length for you, which shows off your strong points and hides your weak points, not the other way around! sounds easy huh?i wonder why many cant do it well...

I love embossed animal prints on clothes and bags, especially reptile prints. I dont really like the loudness of animal prints though, so i always opt for a faint version of it to tone it down~ all the while being versatile~ Go Gucci~! this time, Gucci showcased a brilliant spectrum of blue, never was the colour more brilliant and vibrant! and the embossed croc print bag is stunning~! an inspiration from yves saint laurent perhaps? wtever it is, its working!~

Leather coats with big wool collars are a personal favourite for me, in menswear and womenswear~ glad that Burberry is doing a delightful version of it this coming fall~!
Also, his military trench coat in navy, paired with two rows of golden bottons exude extreme chicness~!

Giorgio Armani, is always flawless, classic and timeless. Always the right amount of cuff shown, perfect proportioan and trouser length, the immaculate tailoring..... dare to wear it and become and Armani man? Always effortlessly cool..... George Clooney, anyone?

Lanvin, has the best sculpted and draped coat, at least in my opinion, feminine and masculine at the same time, it is anything but dull and ordinary.
Watch and learn....

I so LOVE Dior~

I am going to buy that Dior Mitzah Bag in Black crocodile or die trying! Limited edition and seen on the arms on Dita Von Teese and RiRi..... Dior, I am a die-hard fan of yours!~

I have also posted a photo of the Dior Minaudiere and the silver sheen version of the Dior phone, as well as the classic black with diamonds version~ Enjoy

Fendi peek-a-boo crocodile bag

The world knows that I am a Birkin woman. I almost never leave home without my black togo Birkin.

However, i am smitten with this baby as well.... its been a while now, but everytime i see it, i feel a tug at my heart. no, the birkin is irreplacable of course! but, another classic baby wont hurt~
the fendi peekaboo comes in various colours, materials and sizes, but i love this black croc version the best. contrasted with pink inner lining, and a gold clasp, its classic but contemporary at the same time, a great investment to any bag collection and a great accompanyment to a girl's wardrobe~ gimme!

random inspirations

Totally random inspirations, a dior limted edition ballet bag, a bruna tenorio campaign shoot for ports 1961, a grey victorian coat with lace edges, and a cherry blossom crimson kimono with detailed beading....

Thats what inspirations are all about~ random jolts~

During the 2010 spring rtw shows a while ago, I fell in love with these Lanvin snake necklaces. But God they are so expensive! If you have lots of bucks to spend, why not get one? They can now be pre-ordered around 17000 HKD.
Look at that exquisite gold and turquoise detail, it somehow embodies the perfect balance of vintage and contemporary chic. Unique and exotic, it has to be the perfect finish to any outfit.
