Spring Freshness

Fashion companies are serving up fresh and new takes on the Spring/Summer trends this year.  All while staying ahead of the curve, they have still found innovative ways to pay a nod to the roots of how they began by fusing their original concepts into their forward designs.  What we see are delicious mixes of suiting, casual and sportswear coming together  to take the edge off of the sometimes underwhelming tone of menswear.   By incorporating print, color, metallics  and easy-going fabrics with a luxurious flair, we can welcome in a new  season that is sure to continually deliver exciting apparel one awakening after the next.

Steps Ahead

Avant guard.  Being forward of time.

Some may call anything that seems beyond general understanding or newly creative a nod to modernity.  Away from the sleek and straight edged boredom, modern has definitely taken a new turn into a deeper meaning beyond just a look.  With it, pushing the envelope has also gained traction in an appealing manner.

Building up an empire of forward style doesn’t just begin overnight.  It takes note from past and present going towards the smoky and uncertain future with a concrete vision.  As with all art, it either happens and happens well enough for notice to be taken or it happens but still seems like it is trying to find a footing, a place to hold onto and call home.

The one factor that is always hard to tap onto is time.  It is never a matter of what or how.  It is always a matter of when.  How far does one project into the future and when does he allow that projection to be viewed?  If one ventures too far ahead or showcases at the wrong point on the timeline, it may not be understood only to be seen as unsubstantial fodder to be cast aside.  It is a doubled edged sword that can slice on one mark but miss at an angle on the other point.  A delicate dance.  Yet, striking upon those notes require a constant yearning to try until a glorious time comes when it just seems to fit and all things align for that moment to occur.

One Source

Conform or forever fight against it.

Whatever you choose is your choice.  Having total power is a matter of the mind that can never be deciphered.  It’s a battle that is always fought on whether to take control or give it up.  Relinquish versus retain.

Being who you want to be is all shaped by impressions of what we see and respond to.  Becoming yourself is a sprinkling of everything that surrounds us.  No one thing affects each of us in the same way.  How you transform in the end is beyond anyone’s control.

Completely Gradual

Sometimes we make a mistake of trying to make a huge statement with a major wardrobe item.  This is effective but there are also the times when the small details coming together is all that matters.

Quilting, leather tie, zipped cuffs, notch lapels, leather gloves… all of these things form a truly delightful experience in play with wardrobe and takes apparel as a whole to a new level.

The excitement should never fall flat in one moment.  There should always be something to look forward to when taking in an ensemble from head to toe.

Style should not be a bang- one event.  Style should always be a process; a gift that never stops giving.  Style is eternal.  Style never quits and dies of boredom; it always finds a reason to stay alive.

Sense and Sensibility

Many people have their favorite designers for many different reasons.  One that makes it to my personal list is Ermenegildo Zegna.  After taking a look, you will see that they do not create just for the sake of it.  They create with an ultimate end in mind, while yet and still setting forth a line of aspiration in their own right.

In GQ UK’s November 2012 Issue, Chris Kightley gives a closer look at some of Ermenegildo Zegna’s designs with a focus on functionality while still adhering to it’s sophisticated curve.

Keeping within the proper balance of modern and forward classics and the creative pulse of fashion, Ermenegildo Zegna continually proves their staked position and their credibility to those who are closely watching  how designers will set the bar higher.
