Aussie Aussie Aussie! Boys Boys Boys!

 The world's leading online luxury menswear retailer, Mr. Porter, has recently unveiled their favourite Aussie boys, and men, whose style defines who they are and their mark on Australian culture today. Australian men are embracing their inner fashionisto more so than ever, but the unattainable attire seen on international men's fashion icons are simply not appealing to Australian men. Mr. Porter has come to the rescue with their latest issue of The Journal, giving local and needy stylish gentlemen a few blokes to aspire to, not only in style but in their strong mindedness and assurance of themselves, thus also giving Aussie men a boost in their self confidence and inspirational thinking. My favourites from the lucky few men selected for the editorial include Mr. Anton Monsted, Mr. Dane Lovett, Mr. Joseph Allen Shea, Mr. Jamie Valmorbida and Mr. Michael O'Keefe, all pictured below.

Kanye West is fast becoming old news because the New God of Rap, A$AP ROCKY, has taken over. The mysterious rapper is the subject of high fashion online retailer, Mr. Porter, allowing A$AP to don his favourite labels, including Maison Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester and Givenchy, which he, more often than not, makes allusions to in his music - note: "Fashion Killa". The man's controversial "Comme Des Fuckdown" beanies and shirts may have been a tease at Japanese high fashion label, Comme Des Garcons, but this proved more beneficial to his rise in the music and fashion industry than detrimental, and what a way to show his support for high quality fashion than an editorial catering to the tastes of the "high fashion hip hop" market.

Day 4 - Paris Men's Fashion Week

The fourth day of PFW included shows from some more of my favourite designers, such as Maison Martin Margiela, Kenzo, Miharayasuhiro, Damir Doma and Raf Simons.

The best collections from the day for me were Dior Homme, Hermes and Ann Demeulemeester.

Dior Homme FW12

Dior Homme is not the same without Hedi Slimane, but that is not a downer, this collection was wonderful! I have always been a sucker for military green, khaki and dark olive and Dior Homme did not disappoint me. I'm glad I can wear a plain cap and aviators with my outfits this coming Fall/Winter season, I used to wear those two as a combination when I was younger and thought I was so cool haha

Ann Demeulemeester FW12

Miss Demeulemeester's collection has got my blood pumping, and in a good way! I absolutely adore the colour palette, the strategic use of black and white against bright blue and red is wonderful. In addition to the colour palette, the layers of fragile fabrics for the looks are amazing, and I can tell I will be recreating some of these looks for the coming season.

Hermes FW12

I loved everything about this collection - the reptilian leather, the textured velvet, the magical prints and the deep colour palette. I have nothing more to say.
