Palm Beach Magazine
To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of these regional super glossy magazines all they do is sit on hotel coffee tables and waiting rooms!
But I do give them this, they tend have some of the most beautiful and creative fashion spreads! I can fully appreciate the creativity and styling that goes into each look.
Alas I bring you Palm Beach Magazine…

I love the vibrant use of color in the styling and set.
The decor of the museum compliments the vibrant colors in the each look.

The big Trend for menswear for Fall 2009.. Leather!!
Not just your typical leather pants and jackets… but everything from shirts to chest! Here a few leather winners and losers from Fall 2009!

Leather Winners
From Left to Right
Etro: Red Patent Leather Bomber, we like a man confident enough to wear color.
Bottega Veneta: Trench coat, a classic style made with super smooth soft leather and a snuggable collar.
Unfortunately there was more bad than good… The bad:

Leather Losers
From left to right
Alexander McQueen: Leather chest vest, now every man can be a Spartan!
Neil Barrett: Brings us the following 3 looks: Cable-embossed leather top, leather V-neck and leather cardigan.
Emporio Armani: Cropped leather jacket, men should NEVER rock a belly shirt, or jacket!
There where additional hideous looks, including a serial killer inspired apron, marichi inspired jackets and a full leather jumpsuit!
To summarize, too much cattle died in vain!
