John Galliano 2011/2012 Menswear

The well-known Christion Dior's designer, John Galliano a British fantasy-outfits-maker this year without surprising me, his fall/winter menswear was quite good as usual.. but honestly, Im not really satisfied, dont judge, but my eyes are soo hungry of fashion especially the menswear... Then his inspiration was ballet + russian cultures with splash of colours and a bit of sparkles...

Although, ballet is enjoying a cultural moment, high at the Ballets Russes exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, low in the campy horrifics of Black Swan...

And in the white tights, guess who?? My baby boy LACHOWSKI! ;)

Tipping his cap to the trend, John Galliano ambitiously settled on primus ballerinus Rudolf Nureyev, a figure who effortlessly bridged both extremes. And this time, the ever-changing drama of Mother Russia provided the backdrop. So the show opened with a harried horde of Russian emigrés in great big coats, tufty shearling, and military jackets (more tips of the cap to flavors of the moment)....

Then Nureyev defected to the West and started wearing tightly tailored pantsuits and caps as a curious analogue, all the while working himself into a lather at the barre... That gave Galliano the opportunity to parade sweat-soaked workout wear on Simon Nessman, though the model was surely grateful to be wrapped in a chunky puffa...

The final passage of eveningwear garbed the dancer for glittering, embroidery-crusted nights on the town in the kind of Cossack finery that would once have been catnip to Galliano. Why, then, did it feel less than exuberant???

In fact, the whole show had a flat, low-budget feel. That wasn't even induced by something as banal as commerce compromising creativity... More likely, it was a simple matter of Nureyev himself not being such perfect fodder for Galliano after all, too real perhaps to sustain the kind of blinding fashion fantasia the man has unleashed on us in the past when's he looked to the Ballets Russes for inspiration....

Thats my thought, you can compare this show with his last season show.. trust me!

Im sorry, I couldn't find a good quality video in youtube...

Dolce and Gabbana 2011/2012 Menswear

Ohhhh my DG!! This is my favourite one.. soo colourful and gayy :D and the models are soo delicious...

Frizzante! Buzzy fun has always been the serving suggestion of D&G. The audience members may be the type to sip Coca-Cola Light, but Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana know a big-flavored, high-calorie kindred spirit when they see one. Echo the shirt that opened the show, blaring a commandment that would repeat... "ENJOY COCA-COLA!"

There was a schoolyard cast to the collection, with its fitted blazers, repp ties, and corduroys... Those cords came in the same curious shape explored at the Dolce & Gabbana show earlier in the week... low rise, drop-crotch, and pegged skinny through the leg. Or maybe it's more accurate to say things had a truant tinge, since these were clothes that likely as not would get your knuckles rapped in class.

You'd have to be brash to try, as the collection's notes had it, "the whole color palette," with brilliant blues, yellows, and grassy greens piled on all at once. Dolce and Gabanna even designed their own Day-Glo take on the ultimate young man's accessory, casket headphones, made in collaboration with Skullcandy...

You couldn't help but smile when, at the finale, the boys poured out all at once in graphic tees and high-top sneaks. They looked like so many brightly colored candies. Maybe that's another reason D&G's counseling Coca-Cola. Legend has it no good can come of mixing Pop Rocks and Pepsi...

And there's my boy, Francisco Lachowski, the super-cute-penistard!

And ofcourse these are my favs and the fur jacket!!!!
