Trends from Milan - Autum 2013!

So it's the end of the Milan fashion week for men F/W 2013.. I watched this morning live streaming Giorgio Armani and I have to say that show stood out, they had all the trend setters and there were many "show stoppers" in my opinion! The most obvious trends that have been shown so far from Europe is Velvet ( almost all of the shows contained velvet suit), also there was a lot of leather both coats, jackets and pants. Many different types of hats in all sizes and shapes and not to forget big hand bags.  Red was the most visible color with blue and black, but most of the designers had very graphic and "out there" patterns.

This is my first for 5 years that I'm not in Milan in the fashion week time god this is the time to miss Milan like crazy.. I just love staying in all the chaos that is down town now!

Style Trend for men 2013

I've been looking at the runway shows in these days and browsing trough the designers. There is a lot going on for the men summer 2013. The style that's most visible of all the styles is the short-suits, almost all the designers have their version of a elegant suits with shorts instead of long pants.
So in very "short" version the fashion for next summer is Very elegant with shirts, tie, blazers and shorts. I'm personally not going crazy for this trend but well it´s still good to be elegant in the heat and good for those who work in offices, on the other hand to mix the summer shorts in a suit it's maybe practical but often ends up to be not so cool just Geeky!!
Here are some examples of this style from some of the greatest designers:

DIESEL - Casual "hunting" suit

Dolce & Gabbana

Giorgio Armani - Very cool style

Nicole Farhi - "Little boys" suit

Raf Simons - Elegant and stylish

Costume National - Casual and Cool

Les Hommes - "Intellectual British horseman" style

Mugler - Showing a bit much flesh

Versace - Sporty and Casual elegance

Vivienne Westwood - Strangely boring for this brand

This is it for this trend.. it's for sure going to be a big hit for next year :)

Reconstructed jewelry trend

I've been putting myself in pain by watching reconstructed jewelry online.. I love everything that is different and that makes you stand out and be different, like my phrase should be much more is perfect :) A few months ago I came across a brand called Trillery and they just make these wonderful jewelry pieces that I want to share with you here. Body armors, halos, slave bracelets are few of the unique design they make. Here are some of their work and I recommend that you check out this brand!
I think it´s my second blog I make about them but it's totally worth it:

Now it's time for bed.. more internet research tomorrow :)

Artistic and colorful shoes

I have to say that I really admire the work that they do at KronKron. To be a designer from a small country like Iceland is hard but they are also doing so unique and different design that makes it's much more "risky". The shoes are in strange shapes and combine so many colors, and all these little details that they add to the shoes are just perfect. I'm really rooting for this brand and I hope they will get the attention that they deserve. I'm so in love with their shoe collection spring/summer 2012..

Here are some of their creations:

If you like colorful and playful things I really recommend that you check out also their clothing line!
