Fashion Icon Vol.2 - Nick Wooster

Acutely modern, Nick Wooster's fashion is the best portrait of men's fashion today. Incorporating the trends of the turbulent fashion world, Nick Wooster conveys his identity with staple pieces like the tailored jacket, boston framed glasses and his iconic beard. Mr. Wooster's preceptive choice of brands and items are a reflection of his position as the men fashion director of Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. His effective use of vivid and bright colors with staples pieces are unique. Most noteworthy his take on a essential men's piece and tailoring it with distinct fabrics and patterns. Swagger is a word made for him.

ニックウースター、バーグドフグッドマンのメンズファッションディレクターにして各国のファッションウィークにくるマニアのお手本。最新のトレンドやブランドを巧みに組み合わせながら、自分らしさを全面的に表現している方です。定番アイテムを斬新な素材、色、パターンで誂えるのも彼流。メンズのルールの中に個性的なアイデアを取り込む天才。ニックの様に歳を取りたいものです。

Fashion Icon Vol.1 - Thom Browne

All of us, probably, admire someone's fashion or sensibility. I want to introduce a few of my fashion icons. First up is Thom Browne.
ファッションのお手本にしている人いますか?いる事だと思います。自分が影響され尊敬するファッションアイコンを数人ですがご紹介します。



I love his stoic sense and vision for fashion. His utilitarian and uniform like dress code has changed and taught me the art of taking away variables. He only wears grey. He only wears dress shoes. He only wears a white oxford shirt out of the dryer. He has a couple of principles which formulates his style. Some might say its boring, its austere but exploring the maximum with in a set limit is contrasting and unique in a world of numerous variety. I don't know if I can be this stoic with my wardrobe but, I adapted his sensibility and finally have found staple items that never will change.
合理的でストイック。そんな言葉が似合うのがトムブラウンです。ファッションにユニフォーム性を求め、決められた範囲の服しか着用しない。色はグレーしか着ず、シャツは洗いざらしの白いオックスフォード。靴は数足のウィングチップのみと、トレンドとは逆です。しかし、こうした定番をもつ事をすごく教えられました、そして、それが個性に繋がると。昔のトラッドや紳士はこうしたファッション定義をもっていました。現代ではまたそれが新鮮で斬新です。今自分も定番を揃える段階の途中です。

He has finally entered the market for Women's officially starting Spring2011 and I am eager to see his influence over women's wear as he changed the way for men's.
今期の春夏から本格的にウィーメンズウェアーに進出したトムブラウンですが、彼がウィーメンズファッションにどれほどの影響を及ぼすか楽しみです。

Women's RTW Fall 2011

I don't follow much of Women's fashion but watching the runway shows inspires me and gives me ideas that aren't present in Men's fashion. Though I feel that more than ever, Women's and Men's fashion are becoming alike in terms of trends, color combo, theme's and brands. Here are my favorite shots from the Fall 2011 runway so far.
ウィーメンズファッションには疎い方ですw。でも、ランウェイをみてメンズには見られないアイデアや合わせを探して取り入れるのは好きです。最近は両者の境界線が薄くなってきているような。。。とりあえず11秋冬の好きなショットをどうぞ

There's a great contrast born when women wear men's inspired clothing with dresses or by itself. Like the outwear above or tailored jackets the contrast highlights and brings forward the femininity.
女性がメンズライクなアイテムを着てるの好きです。対比がうまれて、その人の女性らしさが協調される気がします。
