NYC Fashionweek: Menswear

My take on Menswear from NYC Fashion Week
ICH DONT FINK SO:
Alexander McQueen and Prada are taking a hint from Mugato with their "Derelict" collections for Fall 2007.
Wow Alexander McQueen failed. Eww! Garbage bag vynil suits?
J.Lindeberg (who supplies nearly half my slacks and quite a few shirts) has nothing special at best and some ugly fits at worst for fall.
Dior Homme is great if you’re super skinny and want to pretend you’re a starving artist when in reality you’ve either got a trust fund or a very rich “muse”.
Cavalli is even more scaled down this year, but aside from a few extremely well made jackets the collection is overly feminine (but what would you expect?)
Memo to Yohji Yamomoto, I won’t be turning Japanese anytime soon.


WASSUP:

Dsquared and Bottega Veneta are what high fashion is all about - creativity and edge that you can actually wear with pride.
Thank you Dsquared2 are showcasing an industrial theme with an S&M nippletwist and yeah – it’s hot (aside from puffy jackets – you guys already went there, it’s over!). Always loved their great fit, and their less flamboyant, more edgy designs.
Diesel has really improved themselves in the last two collections, and they are continuing to do so. Love the consistent knife theme, Patrick Bateman never looked that good.
