Saint Laurent Fall 2013 Menswear

Image
I have been over-looking the London Menswear fashion week as I took on oath that I will only be live streaming or watching on YouTube only the awaited debut of the collaboration Rihanna has with River Island. While browsing through www.style.com, i was astonished with Saint Laurent Fall 2013 Menswear which its simplicity, always at its best gave me goosebumps. The detail consisted only of primary items that everyman should have in their wardrobe for winter, leather jackets, shearling, torn distressed jeans, long stripped scarfs, knee length coats with gold button, fine plaid, pin stripped blazer, baseball inspired jackets, brocade in gold and the list goes on and on. Check it out and tell me what you think....:

Okay, okay, I might be somehow a late bloomer when it comes to online fashion magazine and the reason sometimes is that there are so many up and coming online fashion magazines. I remember when I started #POSE, the concept and all, I actually wanted my baby to be an online magazine exclusive to fashion alone. This idea and my knowledge at the time were just a dream, (well they still are, till further notice) but being a blogger  is close enough for now. You know when you check your twitter followers and ofcourse you sometimes followed by people that you don't know, who they are and what they do,  and you check their profiles and click on their links because of curiosity and they probably do the same with your handle. I came across a link to this online magazine which y'all might have read about or are already following it, Previdar is the name. Created  and founded by Lawrence Manyapelo, Previdar is all about exclusivity, from their articles to fashion spreads,

The only review I will be posting from the London Fashion Week is:  This day that I have been waiting for is finally coming to life, Rihanna's first designer collection. I have to say it was long overdue before our"riri" launched her own clothing range. The range will be presenting the spring/summer 2013 collection of clothing and accessories designed by Rihanna under River Island on Saturday February 16. Rihanna will be showcasing along side BIG brands such as Christopher Kane, Burberry and Sass & Bide. "Launching at London Fashion Week is a dream come true for me," Rihanna said. "I have wanted to design my own collection for a long time and to present my collection for River Island alongside all of the other great design talent at LFW is a real privilege. I can’t wait to see the reaction from my fans and the fashion press!" The chief executive of River Island, Ben Lewis, said both fans and fashionistas were in for a t

Drum rolls please . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  And my number one fashion event of 2012, that has made its mark and shown a lot of men how to dress proper: CSQUARED. This is what they stand for from their press release : 30.07.2012 "Csquared Menswear is South Africa’s most cutting-edge formal wear brand worn by celebrities and bold, stylin’ IT-guys. Ten years ago Csquared revolutionized South African men’s fashion by introducing slim fit garments, sharp Italian tailoring and ready-to-wear menswear that continues to enthrall and dominate the Fashion Week runways." From the moment that I heard about CSquared, I became a fan, even more after they gave me a ticket for their "Csquared “Mediterranean Resort” Summer 2012 Collection Launched with ThirtySixMan" I blogged about their fashion show, tips for men weekly etc.  They eventually took note for my love of Fashion and invited me to be part of their Panel for &

Continuing my top 10 fashion moments.   Number 4: Elle Magazine/Style Reporter Trevor has changed the world of blogging with his eye on fashion. He has a unique style of capturing fashion moments. I have applauded him many times and he deserves to be on my TOP 4 and ofcourse it's all thanks to Elle Magazine South Africa. (My leading S.A fashion mag)         Number 3:  Mr Price collabs with Designers Mr.Price has claimed the title for the best clothing store to hit us up with fashion trends. It has been a great Corney to watch Mr.P evolve to such great lengths, giving us (regular people) designer wear at an affordable price.         Number 2: Bonang Mathema/ Louis Vuitton Its your girl B*. Love this woman to bits. She has shown us trends from hair to clothes. Her hustle has inspired a lot of us and we are honored to know her. Again Elle Magazine proves that it is the Best Fashion Mag in S.A.
