TRUE JEANIUS
You can spot designer denim from its fit, finish and features. The first one because of its super slim shape and stacked silhouette, the second because of the contrast leather texture. I'm loving both!! Left: Dior Homme jeans and sneakers. Right: Surface to Air denim and Kris Van Assche shoes. Don't you just love guys who rock their designer labels? Swoon.

RODARTE TOMORROW
Been out the whole day doing pull outs and a shoot. So no time to check the new shows. Rodarte is up, can't wait to see that. I tried opening their page but couldn't even get to the second paragraph of the review coz all I can see are lines. Sleep now. Goodnight from me and Pokoyo.

THE DESIGNER AND HIS MUSE
Yup, thats THE MET's theme this year, and in a parallel universe, my brother (that's his facebook profile pic) would be Marc Jacobs muse. He had the hair, end of 2008 pa, a season before Marc's Fall/Winter concept. Of course I had to put him in the new stunna shades fresh off MJ's FW runway para ka-collekshyon. Pweeede. haha.
MARC JACOBS FALL WINTER 2009
Yeah, it's fashion week again, and it's not doing anything for the dark circles under my eyes. I've been checking the new shows everyday, can't wait for Paris because most of my faves are there: Balmain, Givenchy, Lanvin and Louis. Of course Marc is on top of my list too. So far, his is the only one that adjusts the eye. But then, it's only been three days.
The architectural shoulder is still strong for Fall. Okay, I can wear this.
This.
This.
But I draw the line on this.
Maybe if it came in a darker color? Erm. Still a no.
So, from last seasons New Pilgrim of orientalism slash plaids slash metallics, Marc goes time warp back to the 80s. There were a lot of pieces that I liked, the heightened shoulders were key trends, ornate prints in B&W hosiery, lace and satin combos reminiscent of Madonna's "Like A Virgin" Daze, printed metallics, all in all, fantastic fabrication. But the thing that was most striking was THE LOOK. HOE HEM GEE, its baaaaaaaaaaaack!
And then they cover all the flowers and they paint the trees,
Sweet and delicious look at all those treats
So what goes on before they touch my lips?
They make a rainbow. Nips! Nips!

FALL FOR YOU
My editor Pauline says that my style is more Fall/Winter than Spring/Summer. And she's right. I'm all for the cooler climate where I can rock the boots, hosiery, layers, blazers and leather. Does that mean the guy for me has to be the same? If he is, I wouldn't mind if he dressed up like this. Rowr.
MORE PLEASE
And another sleb in Balmain! Bold shoulders rule. Gwyneth in a Balmain white tuxedo jacket over a Calvin Klein dress.
NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD FOR RODARTE
You know I'm all for the bordering on ugly but edgy and I'd-still-wear-it shoes, but this one on Rihanna makes me think twice. I'm not sure if I even like it all. What do you think?
