The cover for the November issue features one of the Desingners Darkie whom made things at bit shorter this Summer for 2010 and when December  the whole of SA  know how to celebrate summer. Hoping that we will live the spirit and dress less but not exposing , it can be a trendy fashionable summer. And remember the more local you support the better the SA  has over it's internal consumer good to  be manufactured and supporting local designers can prove to be a better inspiration for them and their pocket  to keep you the market happy with more quality and exceptional designs.

Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer Men's 2011 Inspiration

The Milan Men's Fashion Week 2011 inspiration, Men dressed by men. The 2011 insperation something  of  a cool and light life feeling  were dark colours play a minor role in defining what a man is. The liberty that FW takes in exploring how a man should dress is one we take serious and important. At the fron row you could basicaly image being dressed with the swave of Armani to the class of  Ermenegildo Zegna & Z Zegna
and the elegance of Gucci and McQueen not forgetting the playfull nature of Prada. The colours to elaborate were distictions of each designers character feel and FW feel in love with the light  colours af beidges and whites and Light blues , but summer can take on those colours but Spring is more of loud and must be treated with caution when dressing a man, not to be monotized as this looks a bit too much for the eye.  


You would fall in love with the sailor look as navies and royal blus make their way with white pants and not forgetting the peacefull greys as people never take them as  a summer colour, but you would be surprised with a mix of yellow or  sky blue the colour plays it's tricks on the eye and makes you fall in love  with it.


Never settle when it comes to colour dressing as the clichéd average man is said to dress in dark as though he had dressed in the dark. FW
