A Little Something for the Men

It just dawned on me that I haven't posted anything for the men in a week or so....here goes. First, I'd like to direct your attention to the Moschino rose print jacket and trousers; while I love the suit's design, I'm not too sure about the whole rose thing. You know I'm all for the "artsy" avant garde fashions, but that look kind of misses the mark. As I think about it, the one person who comes to mind that could pull it off is Vogue's Hamish Bowles. His style is "very english" for the most part, but I've seen pictures of him in print trousers and driving moccasins and for him, it worked. Much of it has to do with the fact that he is small in stature....I certainly couldn't imagine some guy with a "hulking" physique in that suit or print trousers for that matter. It's a totally different kind of thing with Moschino's "splatter jacket.....I love it! A fabulously funky piece that allows for much styling versatility. Ah.....and Vivienne Westwood, what else would you expect from her but something as unique and eye-catching as her detailed offering. It's refreshing to see that these days, men, just as women, have a veritable "smorgasbord" of fashion delights to choose from; it hasn't always been that way! If I knew of someone who owned that Moschino "splatter" jacket, I would certainly borrow it, belt it, and wear it with skinny jeans or leggings and a funky bootie!
