SUNO X BEN GILES

I was waiting for the women's collections to end before posting anything about them, but what do you know - one of my favorites was Suno, and they showed about a month ago! I'm obsessed with the sophisticated silhouettes of their sportswear-inflected separates (alliteration), not to mention their as-always delectable patterns and prints (that mobile phone dress! ah!)

Other fashion month favorites?

Dries Van Noten - cerebral chic

Balenciaga - forever and always

Dolce & Gabbana  - because it'll complement your Prada SS'11 collection pieces

Chalayan  - when Cèline isn't minimal enough

Creatures of the Wind - Kawakubo for Beginners (in a good way!)

CAN PROENZA SCHOULER BE MY SPIRIT ANIMAL?

The Fall/Winter 2012 season has come to an end and I've decided to focus in on certain elements from the women's collections that I think can translate to menswear...well, you know, the *fruitpunch version of it!
1) I want the sexiness from Proenza Schouler. Why not start out with the intangible? The hair was just so cool and I love the attention to detail in that shirt - I could totally see myself wearing that!
2 &3) I want this bag from Balenciaga (the shoulder strap is so technical and chunky, mm) and I loved the clashing patterns and fat cat gangster suits at Miu Miu.
4) This silhouette, seen here at Kenzo, is my favorite thing right now. Look for it in an upcoming outfit post.
5 & 6) I was totally inspired by the tone-on-tone action at Balmain and Suno, and the nuanced mix of fabrics.
7) I would wear this entire look from Organic by John Patrick, but mostly I want those pants.
8) The makeup at Meadham Kirchoff was, for lack of a better term, be-yond. If anyone wants to invite me to the Met Gala, this is what my face will look like. Plus, I love that the gold lip is sort of a progression of the menswear makeup trend started at Thom Browne in Spring '11.
