New York Fashion Week – F/W 2011 – Big Impractical Cape Coats
Trendspotting: Man Dresses
I’m pretty sure this would never fly in America (unless your Marc Jacobs), and I’m pretty sure H&M tried to push these, but there’s reports of the man-skirt growing in popularity in Japan.
Referred to as “Herbivores” – a term which refers to men who have a stronger focus on their appearance than like manly things like sex and monster trucks – these young men in Japan are popularizing the man-dress. I don’t think this is a recent development, but this is one of those Japan things people like to pick up on.
Dresses for men are nothing new to the fashion world, but street-wise I think it’s still in its infancy. I’m pretty girly, but I don’t think I could hop on board this one. Thoughts? Hot or fug?

And … done
And gladiator sandals on men continue to gross me out. I’m on the fence about the blazer + short shorts look.

There’s a multiple watch look?
from YVY Mag:
To launch the new Colour Code collection Swatch have teamed up with the globe´s premier trendsetting magazines – NYLON, Wallpaper, V Magazine, I-D, Another, Dazed & Confused, POP – Swatch challenged these brands to go head to head in their “Swatch. How We Wear It” competition. Each magazine had to style a 6 page fashion shoot showing Swatch how they would rock the multiple watch look.
This just sounds like a plot to convince people to buy more watches. PLLLEEEASEE don’t let this become a “look”
Trends I Hate – Shirts with Shit on them
I think this is something that started out as douche-bag club wear, and in recent years has someone become acceptable as douche-bag day wear.
Propagated by stores like Express, douche bag clothes are more and more easily accessible. This plague has got to stop! THERE IS A FAMINE OF BEAUTY!
