The Finger “Print” of Fashion

The streets of the world may have recently rid themselves of the soaked, icy, sea-salty reminder of winter paving the way for springs glowing rays. However, the sidewalks of fashion are freshly fleeced with next year’s yuletide must have’s.

It seems the sky’s of black have finally parted this F/W 2011 season and rained down a multitude of vibrant colors piercing enough to warm even the coldest sunglass-clad-front-row-spectator’s heart. Marigold is everywhere; from uber layered at McQueen to masterfully done knits at Balanciaga. Hanging up one’s veteran classic black pea coat is something this blogger is more than happy to do. Not that there is not a need nor a place for these six-buttoned staples, but the time is now to embrace color in a statement coat for F/W. A personal favourite, McQueen’s punchy lava hued overcoat with Mongolian goat collar- yes please!

And who could be more excited than yours truly for texture and print in the fall collections. Texture mix-matching and print-on-print-on-print had us here at “He Wore What” grinning ear to ear. Phillip Lim 3.1 paired delicately done wovens in shades of grey artfully. Like mountainside facades the texture and prints worked in perfect harmony resulting in a three dimensional experience for the viewing audience. When replicating these well-styled looks take a little more risk and don’t be afraid to over kill the use of different patterns. Use a variety of texture remembering to save room for a great solid color anchor piece to allow the outfit to balance out.

We have a whole S/S to enjoy the shortest shorts menswear has ever seen and have our go at a cropped silhouette. We promise to bring you all the missed attempts as well as tips on how to pull both looks off. But, with fall trends hotter than some of our past summer’s its difficult in this flip flopped world of fashion not to get excited and spill the beans on what to look forward to. Thank you for perusing this, our maiden post and remember if it’s unbelievable and your find your jaw on the floor, you’ll probably be asking yourself “He Wore What”?
