DSQUARED2 F/W 2012: Class in Session

Class is in session and the subject is 'Cool Style'. The reality is that no matter what the story line, DSquared2 always marry cool and sexy effortlessly, and its F/W 2012 menswear collection is no exception.

Slim fitted sihouettes define what DSquared2 is about, and eye catching trims are the proverbial icing on the cake for each piece that Dean and Dan Caten create. My personal favorites in this collection are the metal and jewel studded jackets. The heavier fur lined and fur hooded jacket is a definite fashion must have, unlike other overly decorated jackets this one does actually does its purpose of keeping one warm, but still keeps an edge with its eye catching sleeves.

Another personal favorite is the green mohair sweater, its simple but has the feel of luxury. Many would feel they have to stay away from this kind of texture fearing it might be uncomfortable or bothersome, but from personal experience it's not as difficult to wear or take care of as many people claim.

All I can say is that if all schools specifically where I went is this fashionable, stylish, and well put together, I may have never left! When class is in session and DSquared2 is teaching, all fashionistas and lovers of style need to pay attention.

SEXY Mackage: Sleek and Edgy!

Season after season Mackage designers Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy bring sexy on the runway! Sleek body hugging women's wear juxtaposed with modern edgy men's line- a sublime mixture of simple sexiness. Without using any frills, fringe, or overtly trashy silhouettes Mackage still manages to draw the eye to the clothes with sophisticated construction.


What I enjoyed most about Mackage is that the design focuses more on quality construction and not so much about 'glitz', the clothing speaks volumes with its simplicity- sleek. From the sheepskin collar black leather jacket, to the beige fur line utilitarian coat, each piece was a statement on its own. Its often hard to find pieces that are functional but eye-catching, and pieces that can be worn straight of the runway. I felt I could grab any of the men's jackets right off the runway and wear it right out of the Lincoln Center and it would be just as functional on a night out on the town, or on a daily errand. Truly looking forward to the next runway!!!!
