GQ Taiwan with Kris Van Assche

These pics are from the latest GQ Taiwan. First of all the slick hair is very cool. But I post this pic because of the shoe by Kris Van Assche. I am not the biggest fan of the Grecian-style sandal for men, however this sandal/sneaker hybrid is cool--period. Maybe it's the blue...They even have a zipper on the side so you don't have to lace up...GENIUS!

Benjamin Huseby for Fantastic Man

Ana Locking: Spinning Destiny

Looks from Ana Locking's Fall collection entitled "spinning destiny" (as in the color wheel). Lots of color in this collection, but I have picked to show the more demure looks because of the coats. And, the "jewels" make quite a statement too. The looks below feature coats in wool, tricolor geometric legging in satin, and black pants in satin. The zipper on the "tricolor legging" is great, though it looks for like a pant. Neo-Dandy-ism, perhaps--with the jewel accessories. The asymetric collar on the black coat is great with the extra fold. Check out the full collection on Ana Locking website

Emanuel Ungaro Fall and Spring 2010

What I might call a softer masculinity with an edge. Very pink in the spring; Crazy boots in the fall. Emanuel Ungaro offers something different and a bit romantic.
Some Looks:

160g--New

Organza shirt by Lenny Pier Ramos with the crossing on the back and the beige sleves
And the Dior Homme swimming briefs paired the DSquared pocket belt makes for a very utilitarian beach/pool experience, but could serve some great purposes.

Thomas Engel Hart:Summer and Fall

Maybe I am just in a rebellious mood, but I am really diggin Thomas Engel Hart right now. Particularly the Fall collection featuring some major use of safety pins. I want the edge right now...
You can download his entire SS2010 lookbook on his website. And check out Fashionisto for the Fall collection.

Photographer Kristopher Kelly for YVY

I think this look is smart. The boots and the sweater by Conference of Birds center, but I like the casualness of the sweat pants by Nicholas K who always delivers an functional casual look with elegance. Kristopher Kelly's site is definitely worth checking out and he usually posts his latest shoots on his blog.

"Street Balls" from German GQ

I guess it takes "balls" to wear these boots 'round the block. No problem with the hole in the sweater, either.
