    There seemed to be very little going out in menswear on the red carpet at the Oscars.   Tim Gunn said it best when he said it's hard to mess up a menswear look on the red carpet.   And it's true.  One should try to push the envelope, but really it should be about the right fit, the right sized tie and the right designer for your body.    Check out some of my best and not so fresh looks from the red carpet. ...

    Collaborations of high end brands with mass level stores have been ever so popular.  For one, it gives the customer a chance to experience a high end aesthetic for a low end price.   For two, it gives awareness to people who have never heard of the brand.   And lastly, it results in a boost in sales for department stores who have a chance to charge a little more than their usual everyday value....

    Today, we remember Whitney Houston...  beyond her legacy in the entertainment world.. We remember the statements she made as an fashion icon over the years.  Whether it was her stint as as fashion model,  her bold 80s choices, or her parternships with Dolce And Gabanna in the late 90s as well as her features throughout the 21st century.   Whitney Houston will forever be a muse and respected in that...

    Often when designers take on diffusion or guest spotting at brands, they often tend to forget the true aesthetic of the brand and just give the brand they are designing for left overs from their main brand. Not the case with Gant by Michael Bastian.   The brand is total americana and heritage.   The collection is 80's prep school meets NEW ENGLAND young gentleman.   Gant has always been known...

    While last season's collection was inspired by African Safari's,this season was clearly inspired by what was killed on that trip.  After 30 years in the game, Michael Kors has nothing to prove.  Yet, he pushes the envelope with a collection highlighting a braggadocios style of luxury we haven't seen..since well.. the 70s.   And he draws from that 70s style.   With shaggy alpaca sweaters,  blown...

    A fashion show from a brand as BIG as Levi's is ambitious.   Such ambition might explain why it has taken so long for Levi's to show or why the SHOW itself started almost 90 minutes late.  Nevertheless, the product offering of LEVI's is vast and the collection reflected that.  From the traditional workman's denim, to the BAJA inspired print, colored denim and the mixing of print and plaids, Levi's...

    Lucio Castro's collection was understated but understandable.  His approach to men's sportswear was fresh and innovative.  Though the collection was small, the pieces stood out and were memorable.  From the printed varsity cardigan short set, to the olive green tailored suit, cherry red pants, or the pop of cobalt blue that was consistently used throughout the collection,   Castro has set himself...
