Shoe Repair

Yes, this is a menswear blog. No, that is not a man. But what she's wearing is menswear for women (or something like that).  Haha, ok consider that's a man in the picture and all problems sorted out. I love this look from Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair's latest collection. The half (or even lesser) hat, the bow-tie, the make-up (I'm not an expert on make-up, so the blue thing over the eyes) (as featured on men too in the collection) and the experiments of pushing boundaries of the formals. Looks quite fine and dandy to me.

That Shade of Blue - That Beautiful Cardigan

Click on the image to enlarge. It's not just the cardigan, but the belt too. Image from none other than Garance Dore. I believe that there's this wonderful charm about street style, Something you won't find on the runway or in a magazine editorial.

Accessories @ Kimmel

The Adam Kimmel show wasn't one of creative outburst or of pushing boundaries. It wasn't much actually, but the accessories have already been added to my fall wish-list. I am in love. The shoes especially and the scarf in image 1. Oh wait not to forget the braces in image 1.

Seeing Things - Too Many At a Time

Josh Beech seemed to rule the runway at Milan. He was at almost all the top (not necessarily the best) shows for Autumn Winter 09.

I won't be posting for the weekend as I am going on a small weekend trip but I promise I will have a few posts after I get back on the on going fashion week. My favourites from Milan were Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, D & G and Gianfranco Ferre. What were your favourites from Milan?

Burberry and Collars

I don't know what it is with Burberry and collars. Last time I posted on a beautiful collar design and now I spot these button down wing tip collars on the runway for their AW 09 collection. Oh and note to self - I think I should have named the blog after Burberry instead of on Prada haha.

Cummerbund Cool

I have to admit I have never in my life worn a cummerbund, but these Burberry versions make me want to, badly. I love the folk-y feel of it.
