Fall 2011: Tommy Hilfiger

When it comes to remixed, preppy gear, Tommy Hilfiger has really hit the nail on the head, lately. His collection for Fall is a fine example of said edged americana. I loved everything about Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2011, right down to the patchwork flooring.

Spring 2012: Menswear: Videos: Mark McNairy

A behind the scenes look at the soon to be released Mark McNairy Spring 2012 lookbook, styled by L.A.S., of Sartorially Inclined & How To Talk To Girls At Parties. Make sure you check out the shoes throughout the video; they're Mark McNairy's collaboration with Pro-Keds, which I regretfully didn't buy on my trip to New York, last week.

Fall 2011: Coming Soon: Cleveland Luxury: A Fall 2011 Buyers' Guide

Look out for the Fall 2011 Buyers' Guide coming your way on my other site, Cleveland Luxury; brought to you by the fantastic buyers at Jinny.

[side note: this is the primary reason as to why the Fall 2011 coverage on this site has been so bleak.]

Fall 2010: Lanvin x H&M

I'm extremely excited for this collaboration, and not because I like Lanvin (because I do), but in relation to the collaboration's appealing menswear (personally, I find it to be the best menswear collaboration to-date). I plan on posting my full collaboration-rundown later on this week, once all 40 looks are released (only 25 were released today). So, enjoy several of the campaign images and the comical trailer.

The Lanvin x H&M campaign was shot by David Sims and features Hannelore Knuts, Jane Schmitt, Tati Collitar and Natasha Poly. The collaboration (naturally) looks cheap for Lanvin which I reckon is a good thing considering 90% of the "collab" is straight out of previous Lanvin collections (i.e. majority of shoes via Spring 2009); I think it'd be rather unfortunate for those ladies who shawled out boatloads of cash for RTW to appear as if they're wearing H&M.

[UPDATE: Check-out the H&M website for all Lanvin/H&M locations; none happen to be in my state, nor any neighboring states. Perhaps, you'll luck out?]

To see all of the looks released as of yet, visit New York Magazine.

The Real Saga

Saga John Galliano is quite grand, eh? Well, if you'd like the full episode...you can find it under the related videos on YouTube. I just didn't want to post a bunch of embed videos. When John Galliano lost his financial backer for his Fall 1994 collection, Andre Leon Talley hopped in and convinced Sao Schlumberger to host Galliano's show in her Paris Mansion. Luckily, the collection and Sao's home can be found in this-here video, a rarity since its older than myself. Notice the disturbing amount of cigarette smoke in Sao's house---its nauseating. Nonetheless, this video is a must see!
