The Age of Men

So the mens winter collections have battled the catwalk for the limelight and here are some of my personal favorite contenders. Some stand out collections this season for me include; Givenchy, Mugler, Alexander McQueen and Burberry. Two garments that have made their debut this season are the mens skirt/dress and the cape. Wether it be inspired by femininity, darkness or warriors everyone from Mugler to Jean Paul Gaultier and Dior are adapting the design to the male ensemble.

The above images are my personal favorite outfits and collections from this season. I love how designers are combining usually feminine garments such as the skirt but blending it with a boyish look such as Givenchy.

Capes this next winter are going to be a big thing in the mens fashion scene. Wether your a Jack the Ripper or a Roman warrior, a cape will be the new Jacket.

The skirt or man-dress, not entirely accepted by society unless you're a Scot in a kilt, but definitely a garment that will be changing the face of menswear with an almost 'masculine-ist' come back. 

Here are two pictures, one where im wearing a kilt at fashion week and one where im wearing a cape ...

Calvin Klein

Mr Klein

This week Calvin klein released their stunning spring summer 2012 advertising campaign. Inspired by the beautiful lines in the surroundings at Joshua Tree, California, I think these images are strong and bold reflecting the environment they are in. And some of this shoot was shot by one of my favorite photographers, Steven Klein! 

Featuring models; Lara Stone, Tyson Ballou, Matthew Terry, Myles Crosby, Arran Sly and Chris Garavaglia.

Pistachio 

So ive been trying my hand at doing some tattooing and this is the 8 or 9th tattoo ive done so far and the first time ive tried shading. This skull with top hat and mustache character, named 'Pistachio' is inspired the film noir stereotype with a darker twist!

Number 6

6

Welcome to 2012! And on that note id like to introduce number 6, a character in battlestar Galactica played by model come actress Tricia Helfer. Number 6 wears some of the most interesting and sexy outfits in the 5 year long Battlestar series which I have been addicted to for the last 4 weeks and would highly recommend to anyone with lots of time to spare and good taste in TV shows! Costumes were by Glenne Campbell and all are credible especially the uniforms worn by the Battlestar crew and Number 6's outfits.
