It's Mens Week. Part 1

Tonight DC2NYConfessions is celebrating 3 months anniversary, time flies so fast and we're still learning how to walk...baby steps! I want to take this opportunity and express how much it means to me to have you all as my readers, I've made new friends, learned new things and I appreciate your continuous support, reading, commenting and following this blog! With you we are truly growing!

This week will be about boys, my dear readers!
They almost have been forgotten and neglected here, when all this time you've seen all kinds of posts dedicated to girly things: fashion, trends, inspirations, beauty etc..
So time has come to mention men and their fashion, as it has been going through a major revolution in the past few years. That being said, in the next few days you will see not only 

the runways looks, 

but my very own menswear illustrations and 

even an outfit designed by me and inspired by menswear.

It's been a while since I last peeked into GQ mag to check out the latest shows for Fall 2012 season. Mens fashion week is always held earlier than women's, that way the boys are always ahead of us...(just kidding...).
Here are some of my favorite picks:
3.1 Phillip Lim has evolved this season with avant-garde shapes, particularly pixelated prints that evoke Tetris meets high fashion.

Paul Smith is experimenting with whimsy and very English silhouettes, where sharply tailored double-breasted jackets and trousers cohesively flow with pebbled technicolor sweaters layered over neon T-shirts.

 And last but not least in this sequel, Alexander McQueen showed the influences of traditional Sevile Row intricately twisted with Queensbury Rules of boxing...an unusual combination.

 To be continued...
