My Spring Look

Gentlemen,

Today I'll be going out with my friends to the cool chilled pool on a sunny spring day in Florida and then we will be doing a movie night! And I decided to wear this: It is a life long denim jacket which has been with me ever since 6th grade!! .....(I was really big in middle school, so now the jacket swims on me lol). The shorts are from Urban Outfitters- $10, as well as the gray pocket tank top- $5, the fedora from Pacsun-$35.99, and my father found the awesome chain. Time to have fun! Hope you do the same today.

Diesel Black Gold Walks Alone

Hello everyone,

Guess what? I have some amazing news about Diesel! My new friends from Icedmedia.com send me awesome info on what's going on with Diesel's line Black Gold. Here it is: "Sophia Kokosalaki will be steering the female creative wheel at Diesel's high-end contemporary collection" which has premiered at the last NY Fashion Week. How awesome! "Diesel is pleased to announce the creation of a separate business division which will be responsible for leading the overall development of Diesel Black Gold." A new general manager, Andrea Baldo  will be appointed. Baldo will lead a team of dedicated people, from research, development and international sales. I'm so excited for this because I so dearly love Diesel. They are on their grind and taking it to a new level. This is what the big people in the business are saying "Diesel Black Gold is the maximum expression of the company’s quality, timeless and contemporary pieces where casual clashes with fashion to create a unique collection for customers to express their individual attitude." BRAVO! lol There's  Key categories that exemplifies like the iconic 5 pockets treated denim, all treated leather jackets, sexy dresses combining fabrics and leather for women. And fellas we are also in the deal, we get "red carpet" tailored jackets with a casual twist. AMEN! I'm in love with this collection. It is so well rounded, and I love the fact that the girls have their clothes and that the guys are in for the fun too. Everything is super hot! “We believe that Diesel Black Gold has in its DNA all the elements of authenticity and the right attitude to effectively connect with the next generation of customers: the millennials”, said Renzo Rosso the founder and owner of Diesel. “The new strong and dedicated team will make it happen. Well the next top international appointment for Diesel Black Gold is scheduled for April 12^th when the FW ‘10 collection will be presented to the most influential Far East editors and buyers at a major fashion show in Tokyo.Want to see more of the collection Diesel Black and Gold?

BLAZERS, BLAZERS, BLAZERS!

Gentlemen,

Who said blazers are just worn by business men? Now you can wear them too!  Blazers are in for the Spring/ Summer time. And with the spring actually here and the summer around the corner you can put down the brief case, throw on some shorts/skinny jeans, wear some dressy shoes without socks or wear the men gladiator sandals I've been preaching about for some time now, match that with a casual shirt, plus a watch should always make its home on your left wrist and lastly grab your blazer. This is a very sophisticated, elegant, fun look. And even though you might not have a degree job and work in McDonald's no worries, it reads "chill I don't take work too seriously in the summer but work is always on my mind" and that's exactly what you want when the sun is burning at its highest peek. So where to get blazers?? Pss.. hint, hint simply burrow your fathers Zara or to H&M.com prizes range from $59.95-$70. What more can a Fashion-Forward Dude ask for?! I call that amazing pricing : ) But if you want a cheaper and more unique look, find a local thrift store around your city. You'll get the vintage look for a great price. Then again nothing compares to the new smell of never-been-worn clothes. Main tip: the blazer must be tailored to your size and fit you like a glove. If not the entire purpose of the look will be lost DUH.

Raf Simons A/W 2010

Guys,


Raf Simons continues to amaze me damn-it! I love this collection, its so creative. Raf Simons is pushing mens fashion to the extreme, forsure. The blazers are great, the lined shirts are to die for and the trench skirt jackets are inspiring. Collections like these are what make this blog possible. Its all about enlarging the horizon of mens fashion and thinking outside of the cliche box. Kuddos to you Mr. Raf Simons; you are making us proud. Continue widening the door so that the next generation of Fashion-Forward Dude's (FFD's) one day can truly project their creativity without hesitation and walk the streets like it truly is their runway.

Pierre Cardin

Guys,

OH MY GOD I LOVE THESE FUTURISTIC ACCESSORIES!! So I recently bumped into Pierre Cardin's work by going to the not-Fashion but "Costume"section in my college library. LOL I find that so funny and pathetic for some reason. Cardin's work is so talented and completely futuristic, I love it! He says "The clothes I like best are the ones I invent for a life that doesn't yet exist: tomorrow." When I read this and saw his work chills ran down my spine like a train on its rightful track. I was about to get up from my seat and yell, AMEN!
