Men who are tired of wearing classic clothes, will have more chances by choosing among new fashion styles, without renouncing to the formal style.
The Newsweek article - “Fashion: Formal But Funky”, introduces a few new labels that have contributed to launch such new trend in men’s fashion. Among them, Barker Black that defined its brand’s style as: “sophisticated, with a touch of subversiveness”

Barker Black Ltd is at the forefront of a new trend in men’s fashion—making formal style hip again, from slimmer suits to sportier dress shoes. Barker Black launched last year in New York, aimed at the man who is tired of the classic Brooks Brothers look but too tough for Prada. The label recently became available in Dubai and Tokyo, and will make its exclusive London debut at Harrods in May.

“We’re taking dresswear, once an uncomfortable necessity, and making it something guys want to wear,” says Miller, creative director at Barker Black Ltd.[...]

The ties, handmade in Italy from English silk, run from $95 to $135.[...]
As for shoes, the most popular model is the two-tone Spectator ($775; barkerbrown.com). But if the shoes on the rack don’t jump out at you, try the made-to-order service, where you pick from more than 30 leathers and colors—then wait 16 weeks.

I add, you could try a customized fashion tour in Italy, to get made-to-order shoes, apparel, and fashion accessories at considerably cheaper than those above listed. An Italian tour operator, will help you to locate in Italy, the many craftsmen manufacturing hand made fashion items; it is real made in Italy and you can get it at bargain prices.

The money you save worth a trip; also you can choose among several more options. For details on how to arrange a customized fashion tour in Italy, contact us

The concept is fresh and affordable!

After more than 20 years spent in creating collections for Chanel and Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld, launched this past February during the New York Fashion Week, a collection under his own name.

The Washington Post, by interviewing the designer, anticipates that the line, contemporary and created for mass consumption, will not be cheap, but far more accessible than the designs Lagerfeld creates for his employers at Fendi and Chanel.

Just a few examples: a pair of slashed jeans for women cost $395, men’s straight-leg jeans priced at $250 and a $150 silk-screen T-shirt.

For fall, the collection will be available at such stores as Neiman Marcus, Saks Jandel, Bergdorf Goodman, Intermix and Nordstrom.

The new collection, Karl Lagerfeld says, evokes the spirit of New York — or more specifically the part of Manhattan that is south of 14th Street.[...] The fall collection is distinguished by a palette in black, charcoal and bark. Whether the clothes are for men or women, they are lean and nonchalant.
The sweaters look as if they have been stretched and artfully marred with holes and runs. There are trench coats, long skirts, T-shirts, cotton vests, denim and peacoats. The clothes look lived in.

For those, who often experience damage from traditional chemical hair straighteners, there is now a new solution.

That is what Xenna Corporation said after announcing the launch of its new curl relaxer, Curlaway

At Xenna Corporation say:
“Curlaway is truly revolutionary because of its gentle method of changing the structure of curly hair without the use of harsh alkaline ingredients. It is so safe that it can be used directly on chemically-relaxed hair to refresh a perm and on children’s and men’s hair.”

- Ingredients
Curlaway Gel contains a natural source of acetic acid to modify the amino acid anchors of the disulfide bond without breaking it, as alkaline, conventional relaxers do.

- Treatment
It gently removes natural curl, makes hair easier to comb and style — all without the use of harsh chemicals. Curlaway can be used as an overnight treatment and, with very light application, as a daily, leave-in conditioning-relaxer.
Curlaway takes about 20 applications to straighten virgin curly hair, and an average of 5 applications to relax permed or wavy hair.

- Should you like to give a try to it
Xenna corporation announced it is going to distribute Curlaway nationally to beauty supply stores. The brand’s introduction will feature 6-unit displays. The product’s MSRP is $19.99, for a 6 oz jar - 6 to 8 applications. source

After saying goodbye to low-rise jeans, women had hoped in a new and more comfortable trend.
It seems they will have to suffer for a while more.

After “straight-leg jeans”, followed with narrower versions as “cigarette leg” and “pencil leg”, fashion designers are introducing a still slimmer version the “super skinny” jeans.

Designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and celebrities as Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman and Keira Knightley are helping to drive the trend.
Also women want jeans that won’t hide the their expensive footwear.

In order to achieve that goal, millions of women can also choose to feel physical pain.
However millions of other women are hoping skinny jeans will not be the only style they find.
