tastes tres bone

I have recently been entranced by the designers Rag&Bone. These two men who apparently only started designing because they could never find anything they liked that fit them properly have mastered both mens and womenswear in a cutting edge yet wearable way. Although they don't have much colour, their designs are so intricate and interesting that colour wouldn't allow for the fine tuned details of their pieces to be appreciated.

They were able to take the men's dress shirt and turn it into a refined women's wear piece. A style which is so in right now but finding a fit and design that is suitable is always a challenge.

The blend of fabrics and textures allow the layering look to seem effortless. The finely tuned masculine women's wear appeals to all the ladies out there whether they are in the office, in the cafe or in the club. The strong look allows women to feel the strength that only good clothes can give you.

Jump on that feminists but don't knock it til you try it.

tastey

Travis Taddeo is everywhere. This Canadian designer has been tearing up runways and blowing minds with his total new twist on street wear design. If you are a girl who wants to go out, who wants to get noticed, who wants to feel glam slammed: Travis' designs are the answer.

After spending a good part of an hour looking at his F/W 09/10 collection I am awe struck. I wish I were those girls wearing his clothes. They are feminine yet edgy with a splash of athleticism that is so hard to incorporate into woman's wear in an sexy way.

He managed to throw in fur which is a daring move in these times but gosh darn I love the way it looks. Maybe they are faux?

The menswear is casual and wonderful. Its hard to find menswear that I am more than just partial too. This is such a cool effortless mens line its almost impossible not to like.
