"Touche" ---FantasticsMag

Alexander Beer shoots a fencing themed story for FantasticsMag featuring a shirt by British designer, Joseph Turvey. I always wondered: who is this guy on his shirts? See the rest HERE. And behind-the-scenes shots HERE on Beer's blog,

Vizeau Sportswear

From Vizeau comes a black and tight sportwear look. But what I enjoy most is what I think is a interesting combo of pairing the skin tight sportswear with boots. See more from the Vizeau Pre-Fall 2011 collection HERE on YVY. Photo by Michael Ching

Max Chernitsov SS 2011 Man

Max Chernitsov is just cool--his designs offer moments of understated extravagance, and he is not afraid to take some risks. I enjoy the Eurasian vibe I get from his SS11 collection--many of the gold details, particularly the lapels, remind me of seaweed papers dipped in gold; not to mention the styling of the jacket paired with the billowing pants (almost skirt like). The floral inspired cut-outs on the tanks are also nice--offering a soft masculinity and contrast to the more somber hues.

the Alani Sweatshirt project

What's it about a sweatshirt?--the casualness of them, comfort...Personally, I haven't worn a full-on sweatshirt in a long time--just hoodies and zip-ups. However, I do enjoy these pieces from Alani: a part of the sweatshirt project by Korean designer Jae Hwan Kim. Read more about the project and the latest Alani collection HERE on StyleSalvage.

Dirk Bikkembergs Winter 2011

I enjoy Dirk Bikkembergs' Sports Couture aesthetic as seen in his latest collection. Perfect for a Saturday or a power-trip to the gym. The turtleneck sweaters have great texture, the sweats look comfortable yet luxe, and you can dress it up and possibly go out for a drink with a jacket. Bikkembergs' show was very sleek, too--check it out on his website. See more of the looks on Homotography HERE.

Tyson Ballou by Alexi Lubomirski for GQ-Japan

Alexi Lubomirski shot this story of nature and isolation featuring Tyson Ballou for GQ Japan. I'm loving the idea of wondering around the cabin grounds--river, lake, forest--in my long-johns and un-laced boots. See more of the story HERE on YVY.
