Who the HELL is Umit Benan? This son of a clothing manufacturer touches something organic deep within one's soul. His earthy, elegant, quality is reminiscent of what fashion was, back in the day, when men had style and cool fashion sense. Why must he be labeled for appreciating beauty in clothes? It's we North Americans still threatened by the crisis of the Fashionable Man impeding this natural development. Umit stands for none of our plastic presentation. He takes his models from the streets to the stage, featuring today's Real Man: rugged, stylin', with a Devil May Care attitude. Very Sexy.

 

Speaking of sexy, Mara Hoffman is still keeping our eye on fashion. Literally, stopped in the street for her fashion aplomb, this young designer with her geometric, flash and flare continues to take one's breath away. Her three black and white interpretations have blown our minds. Mara, We love you! So much so, we simply had to sneak in a couple 2015 spring items for a peek, at the end! Speaking of affection, even those with a strong distaste for the cold must shiver with the anticipation of layering ONLY like Kenneth (Cole that is) can do. In this two pic line up, he does it so very well... if you wanna layer like NOObody's business, Public School: Maxwell Osborne and Dai-Yi Chow have been teaching us how to propel hip hop culture into high-end fashion. Check out the Public School website for their live stream fashion feature. Who needs to go clubbing when they can just turn UP the volume of this video! CAN'T WAIT! To get my little hands on the NEW WOMEN'S Line! Jason Wu? Whoa Canada! His self described "obsession for detail" is clear in his three features above. We call his looks, "Striking Sophistication," as we LOVE the defined lines of femininity and Power - Oh! And have we mentioned Hood by Air or Black Sail Nautica's Fall-Winter, yet? ONE word necessary to describe these two samples: Yeeeah Ba-by!
