Last night was one of those “This is why we do it” nights, which, we have to admit, are coming more and more often for us as bloggers lately. Knowing that we’re fans of the brand, the fine folks at Gant Rugger invited us to the presentation of their fall collection, which...

We are, of course, divided over this very important issue. Lorenzo looks at the following items, which can only be called man-clutches (although that sounds dirty), and squeals “I WANT EVERY SINGLE ONE!” Tom, in response, shifts uncomfortably in his seat, the way any longtime...

Michael Bastian looked to his own time in college for this collection, taking inspiration from old friends and even his younger, ’80s self. You’d think such a specific and highly personal starting point might result in something either too obscure to the outsider or too literal a...

If seeing the Simon Spurr collection up close was akin to a religious experience for us, then seeing the Duckie Brown collection up close was like having a vision in a sweat lodge; stunning, expressive and thought-provoking, you’ll spend days afterwards trying to interpret it....

Darlings, we went to the DKNY Menswear presentation last night and …. … there are worse ways to kick of your Fashion Week. Especially since live music and cocktails were involved. DKNY never seeks to redefine menswear every season; rather, they tweak it a little each time, which...

Oh, Jesus. This is NOT going to gain us one ounce of sympathy from any woman with a pulse, but man, those models are YOUNG, aren’t they? We’ll give you ladies a moment to wipe the tears of laughter away. We love this high-energy collection. It has a back-to-school theme, which...

LOVELOVELOVE IT. It’s fun, it’s unapologetic, it’s Versace all the way. Sexy, flamboyant and still very masculine; sort of an ode to to the good old days of Gianni. Because if everyone was tasteful and low-key, how boring would the world be, darlings? Let’s hear it for...

What’s with the sinister feel running through so many of the menswear collections this season? And what’s with the tendency to liken masculinity to serial killers? Creepy. It’s like everyone’s collectively working out some issues at the same time. Still, while this...

This is the kind of collection where, if it had been womenswear, half the people who saw it would come away convinced that the designer is a misogynist. Don’t look to us for an explanation. We get that Thom Browne made his name by questioning modern menswear proportions and we get that...

It’s kind of hard to make the basic suit look interesting in this day and age, but Bottega Veneta managed it with this collection. We’re totally digging the color-blocking here. Although the rise on those pants are so low, we think we’ll probably stick just to the suit...

There’s an almost cartoonishly masculine feeling to the Fall menswear shows; more so than usual. Certainly it seems the waifish little dandy look is not what’s on everyone’s minds at the moment. We’re seeing more authoritarian-tinged looks throughout the collections;...

Is it gimmicky to have a bunch of internationally famous actors walk in your runway show? Maybe. But so what? It’s fun. And most of the actors chosen to walk the runway for the Prada Fall 2012 Menswear show have the bearing of models, if not necessarily the looks. The theme was...
