55DSL Fall 2008 Collection

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:52:50 +0000

55DSL’s Fall Winter ‘08 collection will showcase styles and designs derives from the hi-fidelity stereo equipment and twisted references to the late 80’s. Think audio casettes graphics and old LP covers. Try not to miss the colors of hot-red- turquoise and purple. I don’t think you could anyway. Click on the images for larger versions.

We always hear the phrase “Fashion is a cycle“. It may be 2008 but designers will take inspiration from a certain item on previous years, as the case here with 55DSL using the ’80s as an inspiration. I do like the silhouettes. And this is coming from a person who’d prefer it if guys don’t wear skinny jeans unless they’re a rock star. The tees and polo shirts are focal points in the looks. I’m not sure about the turquoise and purple jeans though. But I understand it’s supposed to be what’s the trend these days. I thought it was only for Women, 55DSL says it’s for Men as well.

Well, what do you think? Visit 55DSL for more.

Loro Piana Trunk Show is available at Neiman Marcus right now. Just a few items to preview the Fall season. I quite like the colors. Very subtle. Hues of gray, black and neutrals. Classic selections, pretty much. Now let’s hope you have the budget of Donald Trump to afford them, heh.

New York Fashion Week : Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2008 Collection

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:10:39 +0000

I’m so disappointed with Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2008 Collection. I can’t get passed the length of pants. Why are the socks showing? And what is the point of overlapping shirt underneath the blazers/jackets? You’ll see what I mean when you see the whole Marc Jacobs Fall collection by clicking the link…

Seriously now? Hmmmph!
