Tom Ford 2011 – Master of Vintage

Tom Ford is one of the few presently living creative directors with no formal art education. He is a business man. His approach to designing clothing and accessories is driven by what people need and want as oppose to what designer thinks looks good. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Tom Ford sunglasses are among the most sellable in the world. When designing sunglasses, Tom Ford put a lot of emphasis on the shape. Some of them are pretty wild, like exaggerated cat eye or perfect round. But generally, shapes are moderate – they look good. There is also very little branding on the arms, and why bother when everyone would be looking at the face any ways.

Tom Ford's 2011 style is a bit similar to British Paul Smith. He goes vintage, not only by design but also quality. The more minimalistic the assessory is, the less things there to break and the more timeless it will be. As a perfect marketer, Tom Ford has developed a style that now carries his name. It is a style of minimalistic perfection. Enjoy the 2011 collection.

Roberto Cavalli Shares His Thinking with Vogue

Fashion designers are very creative people. They see us in a different way and we often don't understand how a particular baggy shirt could make us look good. What they were even thinking about. I have never heard more critism about a collection than Prada 2010 - completely wrinkled, dull colours and undefined shapes. Am I suppose to wear that?

Well, Roberto Cavalli always has explanation to why he thinks his designs are worth our bodies. Recently he gave a candid interview to Vogue Magazine and shed some light on his creative process.

To the question why he likes animal print Roberto Cavalli said that once he started to pay attention to animals he realized that God created them beautiful, so he just copied God. Woman dress was beautiful, so did the snake dress. Ahhh... what an explanation.

From the interview we learn that his ideal woman is a happy woman. This explains the colorful dresses and light fabrics that can only be imagined on a woman that wears it with the smile and inner elegance. So, his dresses will either make you happy or unless you happy you won't wear them.

And of course the interview didn't pass without a bit of controversy. Roberto Cavalli has claimed himself "The only straight designer in fashion". To reporter challenge whether Ralph Lauren is, he said "Are you sure?". It is not clear whether he meant that Ralph Lauren is gay or whether he is not a real designer. Hm... how about ... well I can't think of any other straight designer other than these two. Cavalli is right after all.

Prada Resort 2011 Collection Begs for Sunglasses

Just now when Prada is preparing for an IPO in Hong Kong Miu Miu 2012 Resort Collection came on time. By looking at the pictures we can tell that Italian resort asks for some color, covered shoulders and mini skirts. Even with Miu Miu twist towards youth when looking at the collection we see young people wearing very classic, if not vintage inspired designs. But we can not simply imagine the collection go without sunglasses.

Prada sunglasses are as timeless as the fashion itself. Some of the models are sold over 10 years over and over again. However Prada did bring out new styles in 2011. Very slowly evolving into trendy, most of the models are made with the idea of classic, luxury, expensive. Enjoy!

Gucci team have reacted to the economy downturn and lowered the prices significantly over the last 2 yeas. Quality however, remains superb. All made in Italy Gucci sunglasses, are now turning into all time classics due to introduction of a Gucci signature stripe on the temples of many models. This makes glasses more associative with Gucci label and a real accessory to Gucci signature purse or shoes. Enjoy!
