ATM by Anthony Thomas Melillo: Tee Shirts to Tell a Story
They says simplicity is sophistication. I disagree: I think it’s chic, and that’s why meeting Anthony Thomas Melillo, the founder of the line ATM, was an exciting moment. Not only is he completely charming, but Anthony, or Tony as he’s known, launched a concept based on something simple: a luxurious tee shirt. He explained the [...]

If there was ever a magical land to find both men and the clothes they wear, it’s London. Home of both innovative fashion and Savile Row, London is a provider of enchantment and beauty. Here’s a brief roundup of my favorites: J.W. Anderson: I got excited for this collection when I saw his women’s collection [...]
Menswear at F/W ’12 NYFW: Magic in Manhattan
This fall, menswear has moved in a new direction, entirely. Albeit, it’s sexy, chic, and dark. I like it, and New York has done a fantastic job showing this. These are my highlights for it: It started with Yigal Azrouël, a man who possesses a personality so charming, it matches the clothes in the beauty [...]

Paris Mens Fashion Week: Day 2 (From Beautiful Balmain to Grizzly Givenchy)
Today, Paris played hostess with the mostess to several shows. Some were amazing and incredibly sexy. Others were eccentric or rather unremarkable. So if you read this blog, or any of its siblings, you’ll know one thing: we love our Balmain. It’s true. We love it, and lets face it, it is snobby. It’s pricy, [...]
Paris Mens Fashion Week: Day 1 (A Little Beauty and a Lot of Beast)
So Paris started with a bang, causing my credit card to self-destruct. After seeing what it has to offer, I’m falling hopelessly and deeply in love with several brands, and calling my divorce attorney for others. Let’s commence avec Lacroix. The collection was all-in-all nice, and had a luxe feel to it, not to mention, [...]
Get the Look: A Study on the Messy Collegiate
No matter what time of year, the easygoing collegiate is a recurring fashion character we will see time and again. She’s unconcerned – her wardrobe, half of which has been copped from her boyfriend, either by inspiration or borrowing, must be unfettered because she’s too busy to try too hard. Blend these modern updates for [...]

The wool blend orange strapless balloon gown with gathered hem, also from the spring [...]
Lanvin x H&M Men’s
As if the mere notion of Alber Elbaz designing a fast-fashion collection wasn’t enough to tantalize the senses, having previewed the Lanvin men’s pieces–and tried a lot of it on–I can say without a doubt that the men’s wear is top notch. My favorite piece? The $249 double breasted topcoat. It feels rich, looks rich [...]
COS Boutiques
I came across COS while I was walking around Munich’s town center. I had never heard of the boutique before and was surprised at the mild prices (most everything is under 129 euros), given the quality of the materials used. The bi-level store was choke-full of monochromatic pieces that appeared simple, but had small details [...]
