Topman Design Spring / Summer 2013 Menswear Runway

True to Topman fashion, Topman Design Spring / Summer 2013 menswear runway had something for everybody.  Inspired by New York tailoring of the 80's mixed with the casual styling of the west coast skater/sufer, the collection was a colorful mix of tailored and casual elements.  Lots of neon and florals in many of the looks and lots of design updates to ideas of color blocking and even T-shirt silhouettes.  All over prints still a hugely important trend.

Favorite design details of mine were the matching set concepts and the laser cut polka dots on the more tailored outerwear pieces.  Yes, please to both!

Overall, an extremely energetic and a very fun showing.

Jonathan Saunder Spring / Summer 13 Presentation

Just came across these images from Jonathan Saunder Spring / Summer 2013 London Presentation and major ideas are spectrums of colors and digital printing.  Given his background and expertise in printed textiles, I expected nothing less!  Mixed with sharp tailoring (as that is the British way), the resulting looks seem very "now" and a definite fresh perspective.  Pop of color is now full blown color!

A bit obsessed with the engineered printed trench....must buy!

Opening Ceremony X Adidas Original Fall / Winter 2012 Collaboration Lookbook

Models Jordan Torres and Shane Gibson star in Opening Ceremony X Adidas Originals Fall / Winter 2012 collaboration.  The collection pays homage to the beloved sports arena by incorporating and being inspired by swim and cycling sports elements.  This collection is definitely an update to the bandana/all over scarf print trend we noticing. 

I personally love all the pieces but I have an unusual obsession with bandana prints and anything all over printed at the moment (and you would know if you were following my INSTAGRAM).  I'm definitely looking forward to this collaboration dropping in stores.  And I'm obsessed with Jordan Torres as well.  So, I guess, it's an all-around winning lookbook in my eyes!

So, I'm back in Asia again for work + Sorry for the lack of posts

Heya Friends and Readers,

Sorry for the lack of posts lately as it's been a bit of a crazy season at work with lots of traveling all around.  Currently, I'm on a 3 week trip to China and the UK for work (factories + partner meetings) having had less than a week back in states from another 2+ week trip.  I just wanted to touch base with you all to let you know that I'm still alive and so is STANDARD DEVIATION!

Thankfully, at least for the time being, I am staying at my favorite hotel in Shanghai with access to both my blog AND Facebook.  Thank you LANGHAM!  So, I will definitely be updating with a lot more posts.... that is, if I don't fall asleep while writing them.  Above photo from the Club Lounge at the Langham taken just now.  There, you have proof of my whereabouts.  Just don't stalk me.  :)

Anyhoo, just saying hi to you all and hope all is well.

In the meantime, you can always find me on INSTAGRAM! @standeviationco
