Native Son Fall / Winter 2012 Menswear Video


Native Son just released a pretty cool mood/campaign video for Fall / Winter 2012.  Based and inspired by the writings of 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant, the video tells the story of a man on a journey in search of home.  Directed by Niclas Gillis, this is definitely worth a watch.

Funny, it's only fitting that I'm wearing a Native Son coat today.  Perhaps I, too, can find God in a mere mirror.

Enjoy the video.

From Native Son:

Directed by Niclas Gillis, the Native Son Fall/Winter 2012 fashion film chronicles the journey of a man in search of home, tearing through the wilderness until death, upon which he reaches the shore of that which lies beyond.  An allegorical tale, the journey is supposed to symbolize man's eternal pursuit for meaning.  The man eventually discovers it upon the realization that outward pursuit will lead him only deeper into the maze.  Instead, he finds that ultimate wisdom can only be derived from within, symbolized by the replacement of God for a mere mirror.


The film is inspired by the writing of 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant, who write that the moto of enlightenment is "Sapere Aude", or "Dare to be wise".

Ado Les Scents Fall / Winter 2012 Menswear Runway


Ado Les Scents takes inspiration from George Orwell's 1984 in the Fall / Winter 2012 Menswear Collection.  Honestly, "Big Brother" never looked so good!  

A somber collection of re-envisioned tailored classics, designer Hyun Yeu showed a dark palette of greys and blacks fused with military details.  I love the styling and found the ankle length rolled trousers very interesting paired with white socks.  Very interesting indeed especially in repetition like a uniforms for those under oppression and surveillance.

What do you think?  Let us know!

Yigal Azrouël Fall / Winter 2012 Menswear Lookbook


Yigal Azrouël Fall / Winter 2012 menswear lookbook is full of covetable yet extremely wearable menswear staples.  Casual and urban, key design concepts include color blocking and mixed media.  I have a soft spot for the outerwear offerings...need both that peacoat and the motocross jacket.  Knitwear also not too shabby!
