General Idea Fall 2012 Fashion Show

New York-based refined Men Clothing brand General Idea recently unleashed their latest Fashion Show at New York Fashion Week. Their Fall 2012 collection is very inspiring and soothing as during autumn  Rodzilla wears nothing fancy nor recherché and is looking forward to comfort and coziness at home! You will notice by looking at this walking exhibit that the fabrics they used seem of quality but are yet unpolished and do not feature any flamboyantness. I like the dim colors and cutting-edge styling. It looks young and funky.

Perry Ellis Spring 2012 at New York Fashion Week

Having always been affectionate towards the Perry Ellis brand, I had to go see their latest runway hosted during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in the Big Apple. Since Mister Ellis himself was a gay veteran during his era, has made it big into the Fashion industry in the '70s and '80s but has unfortunately died of AIDS complications, Ellis is now considered an icon. I have immense respect for this brand which I consider a lot more refined and classier than its Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren counterparts. 

The American exclusive line has presented its new temperate collection which features a lot of beige, coral red, cyan yellow, navy blue and brown. I like the outcome which is chic yet could easily be worn both in an office or on the street on a casual busy weekday. I also like the fact that the pieces appeal to both young men but also men in their '40s and '50s who still like to look good and take care of themselves. These clothes should be part of the whole grooming process :-P. Also notice the presence of one of the cutest munchkins ever: Sean O'Pry. 

Malan Breton Runway at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (NYC)

After taking the resolution to make this blog a tad more Fashion-oriented, I will cling to my vow and blog more often about current trends, designers that I favour, runways that inspired me, models that make me erect, photographers I admire and despicable Fashion characters who are undeniably present all across the Fashion sphere! 

That being said, I am slowly building my Fashion education by reviewing editorials, Fashion spreads and runways online. Unlike other critics, I won't tell you what to wear, what not to wear and be bitchy and over-the-top about everything and nothing, but bring forward my opinion, likes and dislikes alike. 

I had the chance to see Malan Breton's runway at a glance which I liked. Breton is a designer I did not know of before. He so happens to be a Taiwan native and to be operating all over Europe (France specifically) and the US. What's so cool about Breton is that being a native Mandarin speaker, I'm guessing he must be good at negotiating retail and manufacturing prices with wholesalers across Asia! Let's face it: China is the future! He presented his Fall 2012 collection just recently at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City. 

 I have to say that I'm a fan of glittering fabrics, clean cuts, special yet sober cuts. I am not a big fan of long suits though but perhaps if I got the chance to try them on, the result might be surprising, who knows! 

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Damn the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion will be aired this tuesday!!! Are you excited?! I am. I watch this show every year since 2007. I actually began watching it on an annual basis after mega Supermodel Gisele Bündchen dropped her contract with them (back in 2006). This year's show will probably be just as exciting as the previous years if not more. I'm just kind of sad that my ultimate favourite Ana Beatriz Barros won't be part of it. The list of featured models is long and goes as follows:

Lily Aldridge  · Alessandra Ambrósio  · Jessica Clarke  · Shannan Click  · Lily Donaldson  · Lindsay Ellingson  · Toni Garrn  · Izabel Goulart  · Sui He  · Erin Heatherton  · Bregje Heinen  · Elsa Hosk  · Chanel Iman  · Constance Jablonski  · Jacquelyn Jablonski  · Miranda Kerr  · Karlie Kloss  · Doutzen Kroes  · Ieva Lagūna  · Adriana Lima  · Maryna Linchuk  · Flavia de Oliveira  · Emanuela de Paula  · Karmen Pedaru  · Behati Prinsloo  · Laís Ribeiro  · Anja Rubik  · Cameron Russell  · Joan Smalls  · Shanina Shaik  · Julia Stegner  · Anais Mali  · Candice Swanepoel  · Anne Vyalitsyna  · Liu Wen  · Caroline Winberg

Some of these models' careers have sky-rocketed in the past and they're still there to team up as the "angels" of Victoria's Secret. This year's fantasy bra's value is estimated to be around $2.5 million and will be worn by Aussie beauty Miranda Kerr. Big artists such as Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and the Maroon 5 will be performing throughout the whole length of the show. Can't wait to see that! I was wondering what you guys thought of the models featured on the VS runway was eager to know which one was your favourite! My poll is posted below:
