GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS, WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS...

You can keep your Domenico's & Stefano's and your Largerfeld's I could honestly survive without seeing another collection from these designers.
The only show I really wanted to see from this seasons collections was Raf Simons.
Never before have we had a designer who is so key and fundamental to the development of menswear. Every collection is executed with a beautiful precision and is always at the forefront of individuality, functionality and taste.
Taking inspiration from Simons' hero Margiela, he says this collection is in homage to his muse. Showing an almost colourless collection with loose bottom silhouettes and fitted vest tops that were printed with text and sexual imagery, which were reminiscent of his earlier collections and gave it his personal signature.

There was defiantly an air of androgyny about the collection from the model casting to the latex fabrics layered over sharp cut shirts and chunky full length zips with oversized zippers. As you would expect there had to be something new and pioneering and Raf didn't disappoint. Although some designers have dabbled in it before the androgynous "man skirt" raised its head and actually looked cool.
All I can say is you know where I live Raf, send me some freebies!

BOY MEETS WORLD

New to the circuit a few season ago Adrien Sahores is one of the most recognisable male models of the minute. After bagging the Prada SS10 campaign alongside Jacob Coupe and a whole reel of high end editorials Adrien has been a busy boy. With such unmistakable sunken cheeks, big wide hazel puppy dog eyes, ruby red lips and milky complexion his presence is desired by most designers, stylists and photographers. With Milan nearly over and Paris about to start we all can hope to see Adrien doing the leg work striding down the Parisian catwalks. I wait with breath that is baited for next seasons campaigns and editorials.

GET OUT OF TOWN

Its been out for a while now but the new SS10 Man About Town issue is probably one of the best issues they have produced.

I had to put the following images up because the styling (by Joe McKenna) is simply amazing, also Willy Vanderperre is a god among men and one of the finest photographers exported from Antwerp.
