PRADA X HUGE

It's a trad, trad world on *fruitpunch this week...and the fun continues with this awesome edit from Japanese fashion/art/culture 'zine, HUgE, featuring Prada's A/W '12 collection styled with a tongue-in-cheek dandy twist by Toshio Takeda, photographed by Tisch. Images via.

VINTAGE-INSPIRED AUTUMN

Two retro-chic shots to get you in the mood for fall...because the things I'm most looking forward to having back in wardrobe rotation (since daisy duking is now off-season) are my fedoras and my vintage manbags...not to mention my blazers and high-waisted trousers (see: Good Old Fashioned.)

Click each image for the full photo set. Need more inspiration? The looks from Iroquois I blogged about here are also old-school trad-inflected, but fashion-forward!

MENSWEAR PEARS

I was feeling inspired by the fashion + food pairings of wunderblogger Diana Moss and undertook my own pairings post. This being *fruitpunch, it only makes sense, no? I mean, half the people I talk to about my blog are initially like, 'wait, so you blog about fruit punch?' anyway. These pairs are coming at you with a menswear slant, #obvi, and I decided to stick with pears this first time around seeing as I've been eating a lot of apples lately and pears are basically just fancy apples. Plus, I've been pinning the sh*t out of them recently. And how delicious do they look? Scroll down for the image credits, which will lead you to some of my new favorite foodie blogs - and don't forget to stop by my Pinboards, where all this genius originated. Oh! and also, be sure to check back later as this is just the start of my A/W12 inspiration-boarding...
