Men's Fall 2010 Collection
If Hansel (of the infamous Hansel and Gretal duo) were a cool hipster living in the year 2010, this is what I envision him wearing while cruising the woods with Gretal.

Trend Alert: Cropped Top @ Calvin Klein

Cropped Tops are making a comeback....for men. Who knew? Calvin Klein's menswear designer, Italo Zucchelli, place several cropped tops for men on runway for his Spring 2011 collection. Time to bust out your vintage copy of Abs of Steel DVD.

Current Obsession: Steve Mono

The other day, i took in a visit to downtown hot shop Opening Ceremony, and gawked at all the clothes that I could not afford. Out of all the amazing collections that the store carries, nothing really got me too excited...except for some amazing leather bags by Steve Mono. A few thoughts ran thru my mind, then realized that paying my rent was much more a priority. Steve Mono is a line of leather bags that are so fantastic! The clean simplicity of the bags, so classic, yet so modern at the same time. The aesthetic that describes my personal style to a tee. These bags were made for me. Especially as my style moves into a more rustic look (think LL Bean). The bag line which is crafted in Spain, was started in 2006 by Steve Mono himself. You must check out the website. Below are a few of my choice picks. Definitely on my shopping list for Fall 2010!

Thom Browne: Spring 2011 Collection

Thom Browne
Spring 2011 Collection

A dandy collection, comprised of all short-suits. No Pants. Very clean and all American with a vintage vibe. Very Barbershop in the 30's idea. I have to admit this is definitely more of a wearable collection the Thom has offered in the past season. with fun patterns and prints, including a shark print. Fresh! I rate it an 8 out of 10!

Goddess Complex: Hilary Rhoda for Harpers Bazaar UK

I think Hilary Rhoda could possibly be my favorite fashion model! Crisp, clean All American beauty. like I've said before, there are so many exotic faces in modeling, nothing wrong with being pro-America. I've posted about her before. Currently she can be seen in the July 2010 issue of Harpers Bazaar UK, shot by Paola Kudacki. clean and simple!

Runway to Realife: the Teva Sandal

It seems the classic crunchy-granola standby, the Teva Sandal, is making major moves....onto the runways of some of the biggest designers. Seen on the runways of both Dquared and Bottega Veneta, in versions of leather. Mix with a lightweight cotton ragg sock, and you are ready to walk!

Current Obsession: Greek Gladiator Sandals

A clean classic Greek Gladiator Sandal never goes out style for summer. And now the trend is bigger then ever on the runways of Paris and Milan. But most of the time, Designer versions are damn pricey, and sometimes can be to ornate for the everyday man to wear down the street. I recommend Aegean Sandal Company. The sandals are handmade and shipped from Greece.....and the prices are amazing! I have previously purchased two pairs! http://www.venushill.itgo.com
