Check Your List....Twice!

Minimarket's Spring/Summer 2010 collection has really grabbed the eyes of their demographic with their raging color palette. Even though I've yet to determine who their muse is as yet, (since there is a distinct differentiation between collections)... I still have a great appreciation for their work. There's power here.

Lick My Lipstick

As the season progresses, you won't want the experience to fly by without jolting a few colors in your system. When your playing with a bold hue, like these red Acne tassle loafers, whether you're a trendy trendsetter, or just your classic dandy.... you want to make sure you keep the madness to a minimum. Either way, you can still relay the "statement message" without being the train wreck that silently laughs at.

Heart Me!

Even though Dana Gilmore is sort of male-bashing in this piece, her delivery is intense and the message is definitely received.

Size Matters

A couple of gentlemen that I usually run into from time to time, have expressed to me that they've been on a perpetual search for an double breasted blazer. I must say that I can surely relate as it gives a fresher image from the traditional look that we're all accustomed to. This seersucker piece by Velour is definitely an interesting one to have in your possession. I'm such a crazed fan for anything made in seersucker since in exudes such a relaxed image for the summer. This particular blazer is ideal for any pair of shorts, slacks or jeans.

My Chains Hang Low...

We discovered the Dannijo, the growing accessory brand that is more than just a force to be reckoned with but, a life to be lived. I found more of there accessories to be completely fresh for today's modern man. These chain tie clips are perfect for any man who owns a black suit.
I can totally get down with these pieces.

Chain of Fools

Accessories are bigger now that I've ever seen them before, since every fashion advocate has pushed not just the image, but the necessities of the lifestyle. There are some that may feel that "you've seen one bracelet.... you've seen them all".... for A.V Max it's clearly not the case. This lucite chain cuff is a great way to spruce up your look for any day of the week. Once again, the "chain" is very big this season, and its tremendously interesting to see how each artist interprets their vision.

On The Front Line

We introduced the inspiring women's shoe brand, Omelle to RW a couple months ago, and it's been on our successful watch list ever since. They released their Fall/Winter 2009 line up earlier this week and oddly enough, it stands reminiscent of a gladiator from 2115 who is trying to stay warm. Since I love any form of fashion that derives from the future, I found myself (once again) wishing that Omelle made the goods for the gents as well. Needless to say I was completely in love with the collection in its entirety.

Ladies Night

I'm elated to see that Phillip Lim is progressing in his craft as each collection flies by. His palette for Resort 2010 is immediately soothing and conscious to the eye. I must say that I'm greatly appreciative of the marriage between the elements of tailoring and a fantasy since every woman seems to perpetually desire the two to exist within the same body. I can see each look for any working woman and even for the woman who chooses to play all day and rock all night long. As well all know, it's everyone's dream to reach the masses.

Free Me

I will never be able to overcome my obsession with stripes. If you possess a great eye, the possibilities are without limits. Velour has managed to grab me again with this striped double breasted cardigan that has an essence of it's own. your white chinos paired with your brown oxfords (or loafers) are perfect for any sunny day.

[ I Heart:] Alice Nebel

I find in incredibly generous for online shops such as Asos to involve their demographic in their programs like Limited 100. In association with London College of Fashion, Asos chose Alice Nebel to produce her linen jacket with the pulley detail that provides the eye a little something extra to enjoy. I dig designers who push their own interpretation instead of what's being seen in the limelight. I would definitely support this piece.

Give Yourself Away

No matter what my situation or the financial state of the country, I'm always on the market for a good bag that can enhance one's wardrobe. This bag by Wern is bleeding with personality and I can clearly see the setting that would match.

Paint My Picture

I can't shake my love for Laura Laine and her incredible talent. Her illustrations always seem to generate a relaxed aura that is full of life. This form of work was exclusively for Fashion Forecast Magazine for their Spring/Summer 2006 issue. Laine is nothing short of an inspiration for for all the illustrators out there.

Never Forget a Face

Look who's on the Summer issue of Paper Magazine... Janelle Monae, who stands firm in today's world as someone who understands the power of the mind. One could never ever forget their first experience with the vocalist, as she leaves a tasteful impression that lingers in the primary spotlight of the mind. If you've never heard Monae's work. you'll find that she's sings through the perspective of a cyborg named Cyndi Mayweather who has falled hopelessly in with a human. Although some of the content could derrive from a far away place.... she stimulates your mind to think greater than what your accustomed to.

As you know, here on Runway Wonderland.... we commend the iconoclasts that live here on earth.

Born in the 80s

Vintage-inspired accessory brand Felix Rey has taken a fresher feminine approach on their accessories for Summer. These collection of clutches could easily influence one to grab it and enjoy a night out on the town. The vibrant colors accents are exciting and the usage of the fabric is brilliant.

Fantasy On The Count of 3!

I'm so for it! I really am! The double buckle details married with the treated python is utterly arousing to my senses. Raparo has given me the thought of confidence to suggest to anyone who's possesses a willing spirit.
