Prada Man and Infusion D’ Homme Review

Brandon Crittle — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:55:19 +0000

Prada has been a essential figure in the fashion world for decades now. Clothing, Accessories, and Fragrances-you name it Prada has made it successful. Recently the luxury brand released two new cologne for men: Infusion D’ Homme and Prada Man. Just right away you can differentiate between the two.

Infusion D' Homme by Prada

Infusion D’ Homme. Upon the first smell it’s very light. Instantly I was taken back at how wonderful it smelled. I’ve tested a lot of fragrances lately but, this has to be one of the best fragrances I’ve smelled in quite time. For those hesitant about the light airy aroma, don’t be. I think Infusion D’ Homme is perfect blend light and masculine.

Notes: Citrus and Wood

Prada Man

For guys that like fragrances with a more unique smell to them, I recommend Prada Man. Prada for Men has a very masculine scent, not too overbearing like some men’s fragrances.

Notes: Vanilla and SandalWood

I honestly can’t choose between the other because both fragrances have managed to make a long term impression on me. I give Prada credit for creating two great colognes for men. In my opinion, both Infusion D’ Homme and Prada Man have potential to become classic fragrances. If you’re serious need of an update in the fragrance department, then these two colognes are just what you need. Don’t miss out!

Infusion D’ Homme Gift Set :

3.4 oz. Eau De Toilette Spray
3.4 oz After Shave Balm

Prada Man Gift Set:

3.4 oz Eau De Toilette Spray
3.4 oz After Shave balm

Both fragrances can be purchased at Macys and Sephora

Menswear from Milan Fashion Week S/S 10

Brandon Crittle — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:01:00 +0000

When it comes to Milan Fashion Week it’s all about the hottest clothing and accessories in fashion. For the Spring and Summer season, designers from all over the world- from Dolce and Gabbana to Vivienne Westwood, come out to showcase their much anticipated collections. The top name brand designers are pulling out all the stops at this year’s prestigious event. After viewing several collections, my favorite from the runway thus far would have to be Designer Gianfranco Ferre’s S/S 10 Collection.

Gianfranco Ferre Shows off his designs for Milam Fashion Week

What makes the collection a winner in my eyes are the jackets which are incredibly sleek and modern. I notice on most runways that some designers tend to put on a more of a show than actually showing off the designs. Looking at Ferre’s designs, I can actually seeing myself wearing the jackets. Though the collection is near perfect, my only gripe is the lack of color.

Fall Ready Wear from designer Gianfranco Ferre

The late fashion designer often went against the mold of how fashion was supposed to be presented and because of that he was a top French fashion brand. Gianfranco Ferre established his first Men’s collection in the early 80’s. Over his career, Ferre went on to win several awards for his couture collection and had his line distributed in hundreds of stores worldwide.

On Thursday Fashion Week is heading to Paris. Stay tuned for more great designs.
