Prince of Darkness
An American fashion designer to me who is always inspirational in his designs, art and philosophy, AnOther Magazine and portrait photographer Danielle Levitt collaborated together with Rick Owens to create a video titled "A Little Bit Eternal" that showcases a sneak peak of the "Prince of Darkness."  From his aesthetics, to his furniture collection and partner in crime, Michele Lamy, here's a quick glimpse into his world.

American Dream
  Givenchy  Paris Menswear Fashion Week Autumn /Winter 2012/13 Stars and stripes mixed with the Greek mythology; The Minotaur, a half man, half bull landed in Paris, France according to Riccardo Tisci's latest menswear collection.  Oversized silhouettes, nose rings and earrings, warrior kilts, studs, stars and more, the designer's seven year tenture at the house of Givenchy illustrates that he has a vision...an American dream.

A Step Closer
Rick Owens Paris Menswear Fashion Week Autumn /Winter 2012/13 Staying true to his colour palette roots, black, white & grey graced the catwalk, but the designer himself may be turning a new leaf with his new silhouettes.  Inspired by the mountains, double breasted jackets, coats and high waisted trousers with over sized collars on some of the pieces, made us all feel like taking a walk outside and breathe some fresh air. The designer Rick Owens is always developing his aesthetics from season to season, and this year was no exception.

Dolce & Gabbana | Menswear
 Dolce & Gabbana Milan Menswear Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012/13 Luxury seems to have graced the Milan catwalk for the A/W 2012/13 season.  From gold embroidery to red velvets, fur-trimmed coats and the staple black & white evening attire, the boyz have showed us that the modern dandy is here again.  The crystal ball might be forecasting a cold, rainy, windy winter, but we'll be ready with capes on our shoulders.  Call it a costume, call it style, either way, we'll be talking about it. 

A Dark Night
 Jil Sander Milan Menswear Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012/13 That's right. For Jil Sander's A/W12 collection, Raf Simons seemed to channel a darker side of his creativity. From leathers, vinyls and latex to a subtle touch of embroidery of whales and dinosaurs on knitted jumpers, it represented another path of the designer for the label. As the iconic doggy bag appeared on the catwalk, it may be perceived that Mr. Simons might be taking some leftovers to his next move.

Moncler Gamme Bleu
Moncler Gamme Bleu  Milan Menswear Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012/13 Get set, ready, go, the racing sport Formula One (F1) sets up shop at the Palazzo Clerici in Milan for the Moncler menswear show.  Inspired by the great Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, Thom Browne showcased puffy jumpsuits with attention to detail in the piping and buttons, quilted jackets and scarfs, patches and suits.  Red, white and yellow with a hint of grey was the colour choice for the collection.  So get your single seater ready and we will see you at the night race in Singapore.

Punks vs Jocks

Oscar Wilde
Dries Van Noten Paris Menswear Fashion Week Autumn /Winter 2012/13 It seems like the sixties continues from Milan to the Grand Palais in Paris with the latest Dries van Noten show.  Electric prints on jackets, shirts and trousers with elegant tailoring, made us all need to take a double look.  Solid dark colours throughout the runway toned it down and calmed our senses.  So if you feel like exploring some colours and prints, you will have a nice selection to choose from for both day and night.

Back To School
Raf Simons Paris Menswear Fashion Week Autumn /Winter 2012/13 From the oversized silhouettes in the outerwear to the boy shorts, someone was going back to school.  Hair trail blazing on the runway with streaks of colour and street wear, but really, it was all about the hat.  As we are big hat lovers ourselves, digging the snappy headgear.  A wonderful muted colour palette with a touch of yellow here and there, it may seem that wearing those black socks upright with your trainers might be the in style.
