The Cure for Street Style Overdose

Streetstyle can have secondary effects.

After fashion weeks, you are in danger of suffering a streetstyle pictures overdose.

 Do the most outrageous and bold outfits leave you cold and unimpressed?

Do clash of patterns give you headache?

Do you feel numb and uninterested after flicking through all your favourite streetstyle blogs?

You definitely have the symptons then. Don't panic though, here's the cure.

A style so simple and natural, yet so carefully orchestrated it just makes you stop, take a breath and

wonder why you have never considered adding a masculine snake print coat to your wardrobe basics.

Under The Weather

I saw this picture on The Sartorialist a few weeks ago, and I thought it posed an interesting point.

Do you choose your clothes always according to the weather ? 

Is it just illogical to wear a fur coat without tights ?

Or are we too influenced by rigid rules based on concepts that tie

down our intention to experiment with new mixes and sets ?

As for Scott Schuman himself, he speaks his mind in the post and says:

"Dressing for the weather is a very inaccurate science, and quoting tired concepts

or rules only shows a lack of understanding for the variety in our lives".

Prada, Baudelaire and the Actors

Half East Berlinesque, half Parisien, Prada Menswear F/W 2012 was worth a post, even though I normally don't write much about men fashion. Not only the tailoring, fabrics and style were impeccable, the Milan show featured great stablished actors among the models, such as Willem Dafoe, Adrien Brody, Gary Oldman, Timothy Roth (who slipped a smile)... Miuccia Prada welcome the applauses and the great ovation all the assistants gave to this magnificent designer.

She described this collection as a “historical memory” and "a way to express male vanity". And I found it also an hybrid between a powerful and serious man - represented by the oversized coats and military inspiration- and a dandy. The dandy claiming an aristocracy of spirit that should be reflected in external appearance. As Baudelaire would say "dandyism as the last flicker of heroism in decadence". This part of the inspiration would be represented by the dressing gowns and pocket squares.

Ultimately, a collection for men with strong character, long-standing style and an inner status struggle.

If you want to watch the whole runway:

Brilliant, once more it's proven that mixing and being individual makes the best out of fashion.
