The Masterminds...

I did my usual browse this morning, and found the Spring Summer 2009 Preview for the Masterminds Japan Collection. Though I might have thought that I was (waaaay) over the skulls (cuz they ARE a little excessive,lol), I think I could get into it... especially some of the jackets and the jeans!

To You, Love Kanye

Ok ok ok.. I talk about him a lot...(I'm aware). But the guy is all about love this go round (and by that I mean this "album period")...and I think I like it. Mr. West did Vibe's cover for Feb 2009...and I'm definitely waiting on it.

The only home for my Visa...

There's nothing more interesting than a man's wallet...so why not have it be a dope one... I found this Tanner Goods Wallet at the Centre Online Store... and also decided that I want more wallets... chicks have their handbags and shoes... and we (dudes) have our wallets and credit cards (lol).

Must Have Media

When I Grow Up

Here's a photo I thought was definitely something I'd want to emulate in
my life (minus the fag of course).

In That Number,

I checked out Band of Outsiders' S/S 2009 collection and I think I
could definitely handle this for the Spring. I'm kinda over my skinny
jeans (everyone has 'em). Might wanna try a pair of shorts...or just a
wide trouser.

Word of Mouth

I was at Starbucks this morning, and bumped into this guy who started talking about "some designer" named Hanako Narahira. I didn't think anything of it 'cause I didn't have the caffine running through my veins yet (lol)...But then I read about him no more than 10 minutes later on Notjustalabel.com (weird right?). Narahira, who's based in London, definitely doesn't see anything else but the possibilities of knitwear in his future....and by the looks of it...he's on the right track...(I'm following...)

Porn Couture??

I didn't think it was even possible... but obviously in the age of
technology (impossible possibilities,lol)... Supremefreak has dedicated
its space to "high fashion" pornographic photos. See more at

Enjoy

Angel Wings

THEY COME IN WHITE!!!! I saw these yesterday on some random site, and couldn't believe my pupils...I'm still kind of a fan of the gold ones though.

Fabz for Men's Accessories

So there I was thinking about owning more wallets..and I stumbled across Fabz by Fabiano Vianna , a Brazilian accessories designer who's decided that boring men's wallets are NOT an option. And seeing these fun characteristic prints...kinda makes me want a couple.

Book of Motivation

I really recommend that all gentlemen of style, go out and grab (and rent from the library,lol)this book. The Allure of Men probably defines every "genre" of a man there is on this planet. The book features photos by Denise Colomb, Andre Villers, & Claude Gassian...and photos OF some of the most influential men, like Yves Saint Laurent, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Paolo Roversi, and Fred Astaire. It's not just a coffee table piece... its an incredible image changer...

The Higher the Hair, the Closer to wHo?

Okay...the hair has officially gotten worse! I adored the cut that Rihanna did at first... then I admired her bravery for cutting it a little shorter..but now its just gotten a little crazy (and don't even pretend like you love it!) I can't even imagine what drove her to do this. I WONDER what Mr.Brown thinks about it

I Need a Car Faster Than Life

I NEED A NEW CAR... so I thought I'd consider the New 2009 Mercedes McLaren SLR (lol)which is named after Sir Stirling Moss for his legendary win at the 1955 Mille Miglia, the vehicle boasts a rap-sheet of impressive credentials such as the the 650 hp V8 powerplant from the SLR 722 edition from which 0-62 will take a 3.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 217 mph (350km/h0). They will start producing the SLR in June '09, right after the end of the current SLR's production. Unfortunately, the vehicle will be limited to 75 worldwide, AND, if that wasn't exclusive enough, the vehicle will be made available only to current SLR owners for $1.5M(totally sucks).

The Bowtie? Well Done!

So my girl Joana Marquez, (a chick who knows everything that matters is happening AS its happening) emailed this pic of what John Legend decided to wear to P.Diddy's New Year's Eve party...low and behold (lol)... the bow tie that I taught him to tie, looks as though he finally got it! The dude looks fly!

D'oh!

This spread by Harper's Bazaar (April 2007) brought back so many memories. I grew up on the Simpsons and to see them IN PARIS (on one of their many vacations) prancing around with today's top designers (mainly with the fabulous Linda Evangelista) and not wearing the same clothes that we've seen them in for 10 years!! I love how they illustrated
everyone down to their very features.

This is the way to dramatize

Vanity Fair was able to get Cate Blanchett in this WONDERful piece for their February 2009 issue. There were other photos from the spread... but it was bored by them..(lol)

Tom Ford in 2009

This dude has definitely got my vote. I remember when Tom ventured out on his own, I always found myself questioning why his clothes/bags/shoes/shades were all sooooooo expensive (like ridiculously much for someone hitting' ground zero). But for this approaching season, I can say (with much confidence) that I would drop a couple dollars for Mr.Ford.
