  • Pitti Uomo

    Subdued I enjoy going to Pitti Uomo in Florence in January. It’s working blended in with pleasure. The historical city is romantic, charming, and pleasing to the eye. The best characteristic about Pitti Uomo is the atmosphere. Mens outfits of the day take center stage. Dandy’s dressed up showing off their best looks, always up […]

  • The Fashion Eco Warriors?

    The world has now become social media politically conscience.  It is hyper connected movement of righteousness mixed with moral superiority.  If iOS shuts down, heaven help the world.   Predicting what Millennials and Social Media want is hard. They post one thing to be a part of a movement but purchase the opposite in stores. […]

  • LV Collection

    Not Sure But,,,,  As Paris Fashion Week Men continues, labels have been affected by the Let’s See What Works” era. Many are going in new directions. What to make of Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton? My first impression was the Three Stooges short “Slippery Silks” from 1936. Moe, Larry, and Curly inherit a dress shop. […]

  • Casual Luca L.

    During Milan Fashion Week Men I popped over to Luca Larenza presentation. Other than being a nice guy, the menswear designer leans toward the casual side of mens fashion. The collection is leisure wear with retro looks. I admit this was not my favourite from him. I liked his winter looks more. If a man is looking to relax without effort. These pieces are for him.

  • London Fashion Week Men

    My London Fashion Week Men impressions are so far so good. As always, even in middle of the Brexit Crisis, the city finds its creative spirit, edgy, off kilter. The weakest of the Menswear week, London has proven to be one of residence. Enlisting big names, Beckham, Dandy, and a Prince, to give lift into […]

  • Milan MFWM

    What will be the latest trends from Milan Fashion Week Men? We cannot wait to see. 

  • Hermes Menswear

    Black and Paper liked the Spring 2018 collection from Hermes. It was accessible, relaxed from a brand associated with absolute luxury.  There are the classic touches of leather jackets; soft and light.  

  • Black and Paper Pick

    Black and Paper Pick

    Italian leather crafts wear brand Serapian has a new collection this fall inspired by the seventies.   I saw their pieces at Pitti Uomo in Florence.  For a man looking for a luxury bag with style and details but without the brand markings, I recommend these bags for their craftsmanship and versatility; the looks can be […]

  • Black and Paper Pick for Fall 17

    Black and Paper Pick for Fall 17

    Giuseppe Zanotti’s Fall Men’s shoes are based on his interpretation of dandyism,   Footwear designs that are formal, athletic, and night life.  I saw rich subtle with touches of bling in Milan, loafers, sneakers, slip-ons were the core items of the collection.  Essentially it’s just shoes for men who want look sharp.  Silks, suedes, velvets, were […]
