Short trouser suiting is pure gender nonspecific fashion:

a fluid style statement, and yes-

this fluency also translates into an age – neutral sartorial flair.

Ciao ragazzi! Favlook – Lookfav Focus: It’s summer suiting for the gents as presented off – runway at Pitti Uomo – s/s 2016

Established in September 1972

Pitti Uomo

is a biannual, trade show event on contemporary menswear fashion.

Held in Florence, Italy

over the course of four days-

Pitti Uomo is a ‘must attend’ on the fashion circuit calendar.

 

It is a stage to present men’s clothing/accessory collections

to an anticipatory international audience

of industry professionals and aficionados.

 

…

Yet, as expected-

the on – runway events for this year’s  menswear,   s / s  2016  presentations

(16 – 19 June 2015)

were rivalled by the off – runway fashion parade of

street style sass sartorial statements.

(Now saw that five times without becoming tongue tied!)

…

Summer suiting seemed the definitive dress directive-

the look elevated by eye-catching accessories:

 

pocket kerchiefs and scarves of prints / colours

smart footwear

weaved straw hats

stacked bracelets

small clutches and oversized carriers

swank sunnies

 

all wonderfully enhanced by the essential element of

sprezzatura –

the Italian dress sense of

effortless, elegant, confidant style .

 

…

Off – runway

Patchy Cake Eater: serving up menswear fashion fun for a/w 2015

Patchy Cake Eater

is a menswear label, launched in 2012 by Japanese designer

Shigeki Morino.

…

(image from francoiscavelier.com):

designer, shigeki morino, patchy cake eater

designer Shigeki Morino (l) and his assistant Soichiro Nakagawa (r)

…

The label name is indicative of the collection presented

at Tokyo Fashion Week,  a/w  2015-

patchwork fabrication, emotive of a feel good from ‘cake effect’.

…

 

The design aesthetics is an unique interpretative of a gender focus on fashion:

“(creating) the masculinity that a woman wearing men’s clothes exudes,

and (applying) it back to men’s fashion.”

It is a modern label with a modern design vision

which manages to be readily translatable from

runway fashion to everyday wear.

…

When asked at interview if he had any advice for other emerging designers,

Mr. Morino offered insight from his observations of recent runway presentations:

 

“… if I had to say one thing, it would be that some men’s runway shows here are deviating too far from something wearable. There has to be a balance between entertainment and what is represented should be able to be worn on the street.”

(quote from aserica.com)

The Soul Train t.v. programme was the brainchild of

Donald Cortez “Don” Cornelius.

Don Cornelius

writer, producer, host

Soul Train

…

A native Chicagoan, Don Cornelius was born in 1936.

He  aspired to a career in broadcasting

and realised his ambition when in 1966

he landed a job as an announcer and disc jockey at a local radio station.

He later conceived the idea of a television programme

to serve as a platform for established and rising Black recording artists.

…

In 1971, Mr.  Cornelius launched Soul Train on a Chicago t.v. channel.

He moved production to Los Angeles

and the show quickly went into national syndication.

Viewers eagerly clamoured to board the Soul Train.

…

The show exported Black music to an enthusiastic viewing audience

both in the United States and around the world.

It became integral to the music and fashion scene of the ’70s and beyond.

Commencing with the inaugural show in 1971,

Mr Cornelius would serve as producer and host for the next 22 years.

The Soul Train show continued on air for an amazing 35 years in total.

It was one of the longest running syndicated shows in U. S. television history.

…

Each week guest artists performed their latest chart hits.

Dancers moving down the ‘Soul Train Line’

inspired copy-worthy steps and fashion styling.

Piloted by Don Cornelius, the Soul Train  ‘had it all going on!’

…

…

 

Interviewed in 1995, by James McKinley, Jr. of the New York times-

Mr.  Cornelius stated,

“Soul Train was developed as a radio show on television,

 It was the radio show that I always wanted and never had.

I selected the music, and still do,

by simply seeing what had chart success.”

…

Added to the music, dance and fashion

was the impressive figure of the host himself.

Tall, handsome, mellow-voiced

and always attired in his signature look

flash fabulous be-spoke suits-

Mr. Cornelius cut an enviable fashion figure.

Sadly, in 2012 at 75 years old,

Don Cornelius was found dead at his Los Angeles home-

officially declared a suicide.

…

Upon learning of the untimely death of Don Cornelius-

champion of the Black American music industry,

people in Times Square, New York City

spontaneously formed a Soul Train line.

They danced to the music beats, which Mr. Cornelius

helped to popluarise and bring to the mainstream.

I’m Don Cornelius

and it’s always in parting we wish you

Love.  Peace.  and Soul!”
