Did someone say Sping time in Milan?

With Milan's Spring 2010 Fashion Week coming to a close, looking back we can't help but bow to some of the amazing designers that strutted their stuff. And although I would love to show you all the designers that were featured, I think my top 3 should suffice. (If you want to look through all of them, they are featured everywhere on the "web of fashion")

Number one on my list is from Z Zegna. Alessandro Sartori brings a new-age twist to the classic, top hat and long-tailed look. And through his use of indigos and is lengthened silhouette, he has created this "street dandy" look that is nothing less that beautiful.

Number two on my list of outstanding collections this week is from Burberry Prorsum. I know, "it is such a 'copout' given the standing that Burberry has on the industry." And yes, you can't help but look through everything Burberry, but it was this "tailored, yet outdoorsy look" that caught my eye. See for yourself, Christopher Bailey has taken another step toward furthering his excellent resume.

We are seeing a very well tailored look, but with a slight "drop-crotch" trouser. Something that i have yet to get used to. Looks good on the runway though.

I WANT/LOVE/NEED this bag

The last looks bring an added "lightness" that was missing from the first looks.

Finally, number three on my list is that of Prada. Who instead of focusing of your "typical" spring colors, is showing of an edgy, gray collection; inspired by black-and-white movies and big-city life.

I am really loving this lightweigh, layered look.

Now that's a professional looking briefcase!

No let's see if I can't get my hand on some of these pieces soon....

17th of May the way it should be.

Sunday was the Norwegian Independence Day and in honor of this joyous occasion, we had friends over for a BBQ at my house. But the best part, I was able to put on my Khaki suit.

Unfortunately, I was not able to take a lot of pictures of me and my Prada. But I'm sure that there will be other days to celebrate my love of suits, especially this Khaki one.

Thank you everyone for being part of this great celebratory day.

Double brested might just work...

I am adamant that men look their best in a fitted, well-tailored suit. And in the past, I would have argued that unless you were overweight, your suit would have needed to be single-breasted. However, fall 09' runways presented some really nice double breasted suits that have forced me to re-evaluate my past standings.

I really enjoy where these cuts are going so what remains now is for me to try them for myself. This might just be the start of a wonderful relationship...just don't tell my girlfriend!!

But be aware that there is a difference between a fitted suit that hugs the body and a suit that is so slim and small that it might as well have been taken from your sisters/girlfriends closet. I agree with Tom Ford when he said," when a man’s butt is showing below the bottom of his jacket, I think it makes him look like a female flight attendant from the back—not my idea of sexy."
