Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring Summer 2015 menswear collection leaned unapologetically into pattern, softness, and a sense of relaxed intimacy that felt both deliberate and refreshing. From the first looks, the message was clear. This was a season interested in comfort without carelessness, sensuality without spectacle, and elegance that did not rely on rigidity.

Neil Barrett S/S 2015 White Out!
Neil Barrett’s Spring Summer 2015 collection made its statement by removing almost everything that could distract from design itself. Stripped of color and excess, the runway leaned fully into white as both palette and philosophy. What might have felt restrictive instead became the collection’s greatest strength. This was minimalism sharpened to a point.

Dream Spell ft. Sung Hee Kim in Evil Disney Couture
There is something perennially compelling about the darker side of fantasy. Not the obvious villainy, but the space where beauty and menace quietly coexist. Dream Spell, a fashion editorial featuring Sung Hee Kim for The Magazine, taps directly into that tension, reframing familiar fairytale imagery through a couture lens that feels seductive, surreal, and knowingly theatrical.

‘Miss Dior’ Exhibition – Natalie Portman Interview

Monster Hands! Sankuanz Menswear S/S 2015
Pow. Smack. High five. That is the immediate, almost unavoidable reaction to Sankuanz’s Menswear Spring Summer 2015 show. At a moment when menswear had settled deeply into restraint and normcore neutrality, this collection arrived swinging. Loudly. Joyfully. With zero interest in blending in.

Soft Ghetto, Hella Dope or Hella Nope.
I was a little thrown back by the term. Initially I found it confusing and insulting, why? Maybe I just like being insulted. The thought of someone not giving the time to fully commit to a style and simply saying it’s soft… [ezcol_1half] I was a little thrown back by the term. Initially I found it confusing and insulting, why? Maybe I just like being insulted. The thought of someone not giving the time to fully commit to a style and simply saying it’s soft something, (soft grunge, soft goth, soft punk, soft blueman group. etc) I saw it as lazy. But I stand corrected. I’ve now learned to love…

Alexander McQueen | Men’s Spring/Summer 2015 | Runway Show
Oversized, long, wide and elongated. This theme carried from the shoes to the jackets and suits. With a color pallet of black, white, red and grey the clothing had utilitarian and structured movement even though most were oversize. The young male models trotted out with a similar emo hair pulled forward partially covering their faces. Although there were a few amazing long coats, this collection had an objectionable amount of low impact flair. Like a western magician/white urban gangster feel. Does that even make sense? sheez. Imagine Justin Beiber going to his favorite goofy aunts party. Just watch the runway below and maybe you’ll be able to pull the same references

Elie Saab Resort 2015
Highly formal chic, it’s like looking at pictures to a party you will never be invited too. But just might crash. The color palate is muted but it’s uniqueness is made up by the pant suits and detailed yet still soft texture.

Shae DeTar’s Colored Photography
Hand colored photographs by Shae DeTar, a mixture of a drugged 60’s and Dr. Suess. These day-dreamlike images capture you with their bold/pastel colors and unusually beautiful content. These are few of her ongoing series. source:

Bobby Abley SS15 London Collections Men
Bobby Abley has never been interested in subtlety, and his Spring Summer 2015 presentation at London Collections Men made that position unmistakably clear. Where many designers use references sparingly, Abley builds entire worlds out of them. For SS15, that world was unapologetically cartoon-driven, playful, and emotionally tied to nostalgia.
