A New American Classic [Michael Bastian]

Michael Bastian created his eponymous label after realizing that he could never quite find the right quintessential American wardrobe staples to stock in Bergdorf's men's department where he was fashion director. The brand is known for taking classic pieces -the navy blazer, chinos, etc- and revamping them with a modern twist. The result is slim-cut button down shirts, cut off jean shorts, and the perfect fitting blazer. Below are pics from the Spring 2010 collection in NY. Naturally, the brand is stocked at Bergdorf Goodman.

Herald to Hercules [Givenchy]

The gladiator sandal has officially crossed over to menswear! Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci sent models from the Spring 2010 menswear show down the runway in black, white and gold studded high-top sandals, sneakers and boots with open ankles, toes and heels. I have to say I'm definitely a fan. It's a great diversion from the classic but typical men's shoe collections. I'm anxious to see how everyone else feels about these shoes, so please LEAVE COMMENTS!

And if you decide to wear these, do us all a favor and get a pedicure!!! Nothing worse than a dope shoe on a crusty foot.

Trend: The Fall Blazer

One of the season's biggest trends is the Fall blazer. You can dress it down with dark denim or a fitted cargo pant or dress it up with pants and a shirt n tie. Tailored is always best but you can opt to go for a slightly looser fit. The look is all about TEXTURE so a hearty wool or flannel or tweed is a good choice. Also don't be afraid of patterns, like a fine houndstooth or a bold plaid; just be sure to accessorize accordingly. Any questions?

Give Them The Ol' Razzle Dazzle [Dolce & Gabbana]

Dolce&Gabbana has delivered yet another knock-out menswear collection. The designers took classic suits and injected them with modern day glamour. This collection is not for the low-key or understated with glittering lapels, embroidered jackets, deconstructed jeans, and embellished shoes. It's an ode to bold (but not too ostentatious) luxury. Enjoy!

This collection will definitely be the inspiration for my New Year's celebration ensemble. I can't hardly wait...

"I'd Rather Go Blind" [Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2010]

For a spring show the color palette feels more like a fall, but the collection is great otherwise. I love the double-breasted suit jackets; they give a very retro vibe. I'm also a big fan of layering and the last few looks with those large collars are classic wardrobe staples that will never fade. All in all, it's a little dark, a little safe, but timeless. Enjoy!

British designer, Gareth Pugh is well-known for his bold, futuristic women's designs. He's now officially crossed over with a menswear collection. He doesn't stray too far from his signature motif using luxe leathers in rich blacks, pin embellished shirts (think Hellraiser but more intricate), and bold shoulders and collars. Enjoy!
