Red Runway Trends : Milan Men's F/W2011 Fashion Week

Now that the first 2 days of Milan Fashionweek are upon us, we've finally all have had a chance to process and digest the key trends for next season. Do you remember last Monday's Rosso Moodboard? Call it the Rihanna Effect, but the color of passion and vigor makes a strong appearance this upcoming fall from Burberry's red buffalo checks, Dolce & Gabbana's fiery metallics and knits to Zegna's and Vivienne Westwood's blazers.

..and as a carry-over trend from this season, Military Luxe gets transferred over.

The Military Turtleneck

A recent trip to the Italian capital, yielded this fantastic sweater turtleneck at the BLTD boutique on Via del Corso. I was drawn by the masculine military touches on the neck and the epaulets on the shoulder. (Military is a trend that just doesn't seem to go away ever, does it?) This winter as we all keep warm and find innovative ways to layer our clothing, I'm finding this piece versatile indeed to go from day-time to evening time happy-hour get-togethers.

BLTD has several locations in Rome.
This one on Via del Corso 263 , ROMA (Piazza Venezia)

Limitless Movie Trailer




Would you take the clear pill to access 100% of your brain's potential? Bradley Cooper (remember that "Love, Actually" movie or how about Ryan Reynold's foil in "Ricatto d'Amore"?) plays a writer who does just that and opts to swallow said clear pill. Loving Kanye's "Power" attached to the trailer... so fitting. Watch now. Out in March.

Ready in Rosso (Monday Moodboard)


Ready in Red

Just own the night, like the fourth of July! Cuz, baby, you're a firework! For 2011's first mood-board, what better way to signal readyness and alertness for new opportunities that come our way than the color red? When we see red, we usually stop and take notice as it is the most eye-catching of all in the color spectrum. Hence, stop signs and most danger signals are in the hue. According to colorwheel pro, red also signifies passion, vigor, alertness, and courage. Red is here to ignite our respective creative juices. If red had a taste, it'd be spicy and hot, but also deliciously sweet: red velvet cake, anyone? Ed Westwick channels all of our inner rebels wih (and/or without) a cause with a red blazer. Not willing to go all out red in your outift today? I would punctuate it with red shoelaces or a red scarf or why not snatch up anyone of those red pieces in these month's sales? Then watch and see as eyes gravitate towards you on the street.

'Cuz baby, you're a firework! Per la prima mood-board di 2011, c'e un altro colore per segnalare il nostro readyness e la vigilanza per le nuove opportunità che incontriamo nella nostra strada del colore rosso? Quando vediamo rosso, fermiamo di solito e portiamo l'avviso poiché è il più vistoso di tutto nello spettro di colore. Quindi, la maggior parte dei segnali di pericolo sono nella sfumatura. Secondo colorwheel pro, rosso significa anche la passione, vigore, la vigilanza, e corragio. Rosso è qui di accendere la nostra creativita'. Se rosso ha avuto un gusto, sarebbe speziato e caldo, ma anche deliziosamente dolce: chi vuole un pezzetino della torta red velvet? Ed Westwick incanala tutto i nostri ribelli con (o senza) una causa con una giacca rossa. Non disposto a andare fuori cosi' appassionato in rosso nel suo outift oggi? Lo punteggerei con i lacci rossi o una sciarpa rossa o perché non comprare quei pezzi rossi in i saldi in questo periodo? Poi guardare e vedere quando gli occhi gravitano verso te per strada.
