Magazine Spreads

WWD: Olive Garden

I am part of the minority that rides the Los Angeles subway downtown as my daily work commute. As the world knows public transportation is shunned in LA.  For me, there’s no other convenient way for me to spend the morning… Coffee in hand, WWD or latest fashion mag… Why waste this precious reading time stuck on the freeway!

So as I work my way through a stack of WWD’s, I came across this awesome spread titled “Olive Garden”. Olive is being seen as a big trend color for pre-fall 2010.

Shot by John Aquino,

this spread is a fun mixture of earth tones and metallics in

various fabrications and accessories.

  • Dsquared2’s silk dress and belt.
  • Tory Burch metallic nylon jacket, a nylon and spandex mesh dress with gold sequins and wool leggings.

My favorite piece is this bronze blazer.

Gives the play on earth tones a chic elegant touch.

How to get the “Mick Jagger” Look

I know I haven’t done any features on menswear a while…

This topic was beyond perfect return for the 

Dapper Gentlemen!

Unless you’ve hibernating this winter, you’ve heard Ke$ha’s break out single “Tik Tok”. Just like most of these bubbly pop/dance songs great to dance too, listen too while in the car… But as for a meaningful life message, they are lacking…

But there was one line that stuck with me

“We kick them to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger!”

At first I was like ewww… But when I gave it more thought… Mick’s style, presence and swagger (if we must) is iconic and could be hot if properly replicated…

So boys take notes…

Mick is well known for his British-Rocker-Chic look:

  • Skinny jeans, skinny leather pants and skinny trousers.
  • Perfectly loose fitting rocker tees in solids (black, white, navy and burgundy).
  • Leather jackets, velvet smoking jackets, bright show stopping blazers.

Below I have put together some basic pieces to begin your Mick Jagger look…
