City shorts for men

Spring 2011 RTW runways for men are full of shorts this year. I cheer on this trend.

There were some yet last year. Just last summer, I was there to my sweetheart “Honey, what do you think of shorts? No not bermuda. You know mid thigh shorts made of summer fabrics like linen or cotton. You know it’d flatter your toned legs more than bermuda do”.

Here are my favorites from D&G, Bottega Veneta Spring, Albino Deuxieme, Costume National, Guliano Fujiwara, Gucci, Lab Pal Zileri 2011 RTW runways.

I can’t wait for summer 2011 to happen.

Lab Pal Zileri Men Spring 2011 RTW collection

The shorts are more bermuda-like. At first sight the color mix is weird. I’m not sure that a lot of men would walk the streets that way. But

Lanvin runway’s cleopatra style

This Lanvin’s runway Cleopatra style with black wig and bold smoky eyes’ style is a look I’d like to flaunt.

Unfortunately, I’d look weird. My frizzy hair can’t stand a fringe. From the day I cut a fringe down, I’ll be my iron straightener’s if I don’t want to look like an alpaca.

Versace Men’s Fall 2010 RTW collection

Versace Fall 2010 RTW collection for men was mainly grey and dark, leather and studs, glitter and shiny … for what I liked.

Madeleine Vionnet, a fashion purist
“What I did is not fashion. It was designed to last forever” said the woman known as the architect of dressmakers. I attended Madeleine Vionnet, puriste de la mode, exhibit last week at The Musée des Arts Décoratifs (107 rue de Rivoli, Paris, Mo Palais Royal). Thrice I was in Paris in the last months, twice I couldn’t attend the exhibit. You imagine how I was thrilled to eventually do it last week. The exhibit lasts until end of January 2010 and showcases more than 130 (fairy) dresses that Vionnet fabricated. I was stunned to figure out how modern the dresses are. They date back to the beginning of the century and they look like contemporary dresses. If you pay a visit, do not hesitate to take the guided tour to understand the era’s context and get full explanation about Madeleine Vionnet’s talent.

Ungaro Spring 2010 RTW collection

Well before its show, I heard much fuss about Ungaro Spring 2010 Collection. The buzz keeps going on after it. Well the reviews are far from utterly positive. Though,  Lindsay Lohan appointment as fashion advisor has drawn serious attention, talk and lines to Ungaro house during the fashion month.

Second (wait for the 1st/) I am not disappointed. I am Ready To Wear this collection.
