Dior Homme Presents "The Players" - Fall / Winter 2013 Collection Film

Hi Everyone!

I love this Dior Homme Fall / Winter 2013 Collection film titled "The Players."  Directed by Willy Vanderperre and starring Ben Allen, Victor Nylander, and Jeroen Smits, the contrast of the highly minimalist and futuristic collection against the almost period setting is beautiful.  Perhaps the narrative is about a "tale of two eras".... the juxtaposition is simply stunning.

See the film below.  Also, film captures can be seen below too.

Rag & Bone Fall / Winter 2013 Menswear Runway + Video

Rag & Bone Fall / Winter 2013 menswear collection is somewhat inspired by 70s futurism.  A bit Star Trek and almost too nostalgic in the approach, I unfortunately have to say that I was extremely underwhelmed by this showing.  In a palette of olives, browns, and icy blues...it was almost a non-palette - It's NEITHER/OR and that's a horrible place to be.  Honestly, the pop of the orange lining just wasn't enough to save it.  Also, the treatments/silhouettes were also too clean for me to appreciate them from Rag & Bone.  Is it just my own expectations because I love R&B and expected better from them?

Don't get me wrong... it's an extremely straight forward collection that have commercial success.  But, there isn't really anything here that compels/excites me.

Check out the looks and video below and let me know what you think:

General Idea Fall / Winter 2013 Menswear Runway

General Idea Fall / Winter 2013 Menswear collection takes inspiration from travels and the pursuit of innovation.  The results feature a futuristic nomad dressed in space age color blocking, tech fabrics and earthy hues.  I love design concepts that are in theory on the opposite side of the spectrum coming together to create such a great collection.  Lots of pieces to covet and need for my closet!

That reminds me....perhaps I will wear my Genera Idea shirt tomorrow!
