LA stylist turned it out outside of BCBG, then again when I spotted her in long creme lace at GenArt. It took her 10 minutes to put this together. It's called being a professional -

The bug-eyed glasses may have snapped to my attention first, but settling into the sleeve contrast and pink pops, the look is evermore interesting. The look was inspired by the Japanese anime FLCL (pronounced foolie coolie), thus, somehow, the process was quick to put the look together.

A vision in orange neoprene and Christopher Kane via that fluid filled iPad case, AND the studded shoes, this guy says he wore the bottom layers to the gym this morning (a hoodie? we believe it) and threw the rest on in a matter of minutes.

Holding his girlfriend/co-blogger's Chanel purse in one hand, and his badass style in the other, this Italian and his stallion-like fur looks as chill as he does chic.

What a Joy to behold! It took this fashionably late writer literally 10 minutes to jump into her Jewel by Lisa dress and Mercury sunnies.

The former half of the Dee and Ricky design/blogging duo rolled out of bed and came in what he wore the night before. If it werqs, it works.

This dashing matching couple struck a chord, the veil taking it all a notch above. They allegedly "did not take long getting ready."

In Henry Hollands visor shades, neon strappies over black and a fur so faux it's made of shredded cotton, she deserves her blog-given title

After this trend scouter was styled by BCBG for their show in these shorts and shirt, it only took her 15 minutes to assemble the rest.

Her chain hits her chest while she's waiting for her friend's show. Longtime friend of designer Titania Inglis rocks a chain from back in the day with a crisp Risto jacket. And it took her exactly 1 hour and 6 minutes to get ready, shower and vitamins included.

The sight of his neckware made me gleefully giggle, wave in its general direction whispering YESSS. He smirked and told me that he makes them. So, in addition to the few minutes it took him to get dressed in the A.M., he put his time into the hard work to make the hardware -

In her mom's 90's Comme des Garçons velvet paper bag gauchos, she took 20 minutes in the morning to ready herself. That is after a week and a half of outfit prep. Refreshing honesty from the curating eye of the stunning new online boutique

This born and bred Brooklynite menswear blogger took 5 minutes to get his reds in order.

Spotted last night at the Tim Hamilton show at MILK, the green spotted shoes against the paid, somehow tied together with denim, fur and lace made for a texture extravaganza. And obviously, like all good fashion boys and girls, it took her just a few minutes to coordinate.

Over the years many legends of sport, music and the creative arts have worn Lacoste. In hip hop too….

An inspirational new footwear design project, LACOSTE Legends brings together 12 legendary collaborators from the worlds of music, media, design and retail, to create an exclusive collection comprising 12 shoes. 

Sharing the LACOSTE values of tenacity, authenticity, modernity and effortless style, together the 12 contributors are the LACOSTE Legends. 

Hot guys also wear Lacoste- just leave that collar down fellaz!

The story of Legends begins with René Lacoste. Reigning tennis champion of the 1920s known as ‘The Crocodile’ for his on-court tenacity, René was a true legend of his time. Famed for his sportsmanship, his spiritedness, elegance and enduring sense of style, René went on to found the eponymous LACOSTE brand that over 75 years later still bears the much-beloved crocodile emblem. 

Me rockin' my writer uniform-a Lacoste polo in '91

As a prolific inventor off the tennis court, René created the ubiquitous L.12.12 Polo Shirt, utilising state-of-the-art technology to craft it from breathable cotton known as petit piqué. To this day the Polo Shirt remains an icon of the brand, synonymous with quality and style. 

Inspired by the legacy of René and the LACOSTE tradition of innovation, the story lives on through the Legends footwear concept that unites 12 contemporary Legends to pay homage to the great man and the iconic L.12.12 Polo. 

Fusing the collection together, each shoe has a tongue crafted from petit piqué cotton, incorporating a woven LACOSTE-branded tab finished with a mother-of-pearl button, referencing the intricate detailing found on the L.12.12 Polo. The 12 designs reflect the broadly diverse personalities and creative talents of each of the contributors, and confirm their legendary status as the foremost trend-setters and opinion-leaders from across the globe. 

The 12 designs go on sale with selected global distribution on 12.12 – the 12^th December.

The 12 Lacoste Legends are:

Jazzie B Soul II Soul, Sneakerfreaker Magazine, Sebastien Tellier, Stones Throw Records, ato, Christophe Lemaire, Tim Hamilton, i-D Magazine, Shoes Master, Bodega, D-Mop and colette.

If I catch any of you boys wearing the Tim Hamilton Fall 2009 collection, prepare for me to tackle you and smother you with kisses. It’s such a shame that Mr. Hamilton is packing his bags and relocating his runway shows to Paris, because this designer really knows how to dress New York men. His Fall 2009 collection is widespread, encompassing pieces for virtually any guy. Whether he is bold enough to rock the red, double breasted suit, trendy enough to sport the drop-crotch pants (Taylor Fuchs…yum) or masculine enough to wear the flower tapestry trench-coat, Tim Hamilton really caters to a variety of men. The best part about Hamilton’s designs is that they are trendy, yet timeless, keeping on top of the fashion game longer than usual, saving our boys money and thusly allowing them to look good and spend a few extra bucks on us ladies! 

Thanks Refinery 29! 

It’s hard to pinpoint which style group in the 70′s is best to remember. Is it the disco, sequined polyester fest that was the life around Studio 54 or was more about the sartorial choices that rock and roll legends like David Bowie made that ruled the decade.  One of our fave bloggers Ian Brown of Blindman’s Cirus asks the question and comes up with some answers of his own. Check out his commentary below and which designer today seems to be influenced by yesteryears rocking greats.

“The era was one of excess. Diane Vreeland’s Vogue was drenched with now-poorly aged editorials, and fashion took a strange turn. The shameful sartorial choices of the era are so awkwardly linked however with some of the best of rock and roll.

David Bowie through the years was no consistent style maven. His stage persona was draped in camp gesture. Still, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Pictured above is Bowie back in the glam days with guitarist Mick Ronson wearing an unfortunate windsor knot. Bowie looks fucking rad in the photo. Check out that jacket. Its pretty badass, though the wingspan of his lapels is ridiculous he’s definitely ready for a proper space quest in that get up.

Seeing it immediately revived the memory of this SS09 Tim Hamilton blazer that I’ve been lusting after. I love the Op-art quality of the converging panels on the back. Somehow it looks better without the broad lapels and embellished piping. It’s like an Ellsworth Kelly. Very sharp.”

Tim Hamilton’s latest collection was quite monochrome and yet very textured. This man does black better than any other designer, def ‘An American in Paris’ if you know what I mean.

Market takes us to Tim Hamilton’s Fall 2008 presentation …
Tim Hamilton showed us his romantic side today at his fall 2008 presentation. The designer took his inspiration from legendary dancer Vaslav Nijinski (pictured left) and there was plenty of active/ballet inspired references in the form of leggings, tech fabrics and layered looks. Hair and makeup were also reminiscent of the ballet star. Knits are still a strong classification, and the grandpa sweaters and fisherman cardigans looked right over turtlenecks. Soft leather jackets had a sporty edge and blazers were carefully constructed.

Hamilton launched his first suit collection this season as well. Emphasizing better fabrications, classic tailoring and craftsmanship, Hamilton has teamed up with an Italian manufacturer to ensure that each piece is high quality. Taking a radical approach to the classic suit, Hamilton applied elastic banding to the wrists and cuffs for a sportwear effect that looked fresh.
