    Paul Smith's collection is effortless cool.   With just the right amount of trend, the collection boasted suits, patterned pants, shorts and pants layering,  and color blocking.   I definitely will be adding quite few of these items to my collection next spring.

    Dior Homme collection is simple, clean, and masculine.  Check out some of these cool shots of the collection.  Loving the muted tan, cobalt blue and gray color scheme.  Also, the derby hats are nice touch.

    Everyone knows how much I really love and respect Thom Browne.   If for nothing else, I find his designs to be fun, daring, and entertaining.  All of it is hardly wearable, but his attention to detail and his flair for taking feminine details and making them masculine is not to go un-noticed.  Check out this colleciton which is clearly inspired by vaudeville and certainly gives a "LET ME ENTERTAIN...

    While BET Awards are going down here, menswear shows are happening in Europe. I've been doing my best to show you all the collections.  I hope that you are enjoying it. At any rate, Lanvin's collection was all about heroic menswear.  Lanvin had no problem blurring the lines between menswear and womenswear, yet keeping it strong.  From the short sleeve driver coat to the colorful muted suits, the collection...

    The -actors in between jobs- stars came out last night to support the BET Awards.  Seems like it was only a few years since the show first started, but here we are years later.  The show left little to be desired. A skyped in performance by Beyonce, a Patti Labelle tribute missing some greater voices,  Kelly Rowland giving her best "I get lonely" tribute and Mary J blige proving that she's still...

      Rick Owens pushing the envelope with his collection.   I've mentioned for a few seasons now that menswear is embracing the longer silhouette, but Rick goes even further and brings out full on skirts.   Tanks with long a line dresses, and long skirts ala Calvin Klein in the 90s.  I won't be rocking this look, but here it is for your review.

    Bright Lights, in the big city should have been the song playing during the show. The collection is just that.  Bright colors, City Style.   From the color blocks, the chambray jackets,  the shiny satin tuxedos, the preppy style mixed with 70s flair.. this collection is a must see and a must have.    Really feeling the mix of old and new.

    Louis Vuitton's SPRING 12 collection was simply fresh.   Marc Jacobs influence on the collection is clear in this season.   The collection featured grey and midnight blue suits,  pops of red and blue, big colorful scarves, trenches, short cloaks and such.  The collection was park avenue meets park slope.   Meaning its great pieces that can go from day to night, accountant to creative.

    Yohji Yamamoto is one of my favorite designers.  His collection this spring however? Not so much.  Its all about long silhouettes.   From the oversized button downs, to the extreme wide leg baggy pants and kilts, the collection is definitely more cutting edge than most. What I did appreciate is the committment to this look and the representation for all body types and ages.
