 The men who picked up on the subtle infusion of unisex looks
from the Zero + Maria Cornejo S/S 2010 show, can now be assured and thoroughly excited that the
label has decided branch out into menswear. According to the press
release, the NY-based designer will debut a capsule menswear collection
that will be available in both Maria Cornejo boutiques and Project No.
8 on January 15, 2010. Cornejo effortlessly translates her design aesthetics from one gender
to another, recreating the same beauty from simplicity and irregularity
so inherent in her women's ready-to-wear collection.
We at HOMMEBOY.net love the soft blazers, navy coat, and the not-so drop crotch pants. Often the boldest statements are the the most understated. More...

 Last night, Paul Berardi and Eddy Chai of Odin debuted their latest in-house series of fragrances—Odin EDT—at an intimate gathering at the Hotel Griffou. The series, developed alongside perfumers Kevin Verspoor and Pierre-Constantin Guéros, is composed of 3 distinct scents: Nomad, Owari, and Legacy. Although each scent strikes a different chord with the olfactory system, they all seem to converge upon a common thread that describes the wearer: a man who is thought-provoking, serene, and esoteric.
Scent 02, Owari, was one of the 3 scents given out that evening. We really enjoyed the vibrant, refreshing character of the Mandarin and Bergamot, which wears away quite nicely into warm middle and bottom notes of Cubeb Pepper, Neroli, and Cedarwood. The packaging and design is also very handsome. More...

 New York cult label, Bess, has achieved this season what some designers have not been able to do. The aim was not to makes clothes that only appear to be well-worn on the surface, but to create clothes that are familiar, like things you've kept around in your closet and have worn all your life. For Spring/Summer 2010, texture and color derived from the seasonal rebirth of the Western American landscape create the foundation for this emotional collection. "It's about the color of sand and earth, the feeling of cloth that emphasizes its origin in the skin of the animal and the deep color of raw dyed silk by hand," says designer Doug Abraham. "Copper metals and shapes that move in the wind and are luminous in the heat of the sun." There's a sense of old-Western nostalgia (In The Badlands, the title of the collection) the was exemplified with poncho and the leather pants, but juxtaposed with the modernity of a "well-traveled", off-white suit. The studs remain a staple in the collection but has become less and less the key element as with prior collections. Rather this time, it's the raw and unprocessed nature of the materials that give the clothes life. For Bess, it's never about the new or cutting-edge. It's about making the old, new again. "Clothes are meant to be work hard and exhibit the decay of something that has been loved."

 As time progresses, fashion is becoming more and more futuristic. We see designers today create garments and accessories that forward you 1000 years into the future: space age silhouettes, technologically advanced fabrication, and the most interesting conceptual designs you've ever seen. While this decade has seen an increase in futurism, we sometimes fail to realize that this space age concept has already been achieved decades before. We recall fashions from designers such as Theirry Mugler, whom introduced his form fitting metal and plastic corset dresses (cira 1980s/90s), as well as Issey Miyake, that introduced his molded plastic bustier as worn by Grace Jones (1983)—amongst his life's work of art and fashion; movies such as The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) and Metropolis (1925). While we have our classic inspirations for film, there is also our classic inspiration of futurism with eye wear: MERCURA NYC.
