ever evolving to better describe

dress images presented

 

…

And the word is

hero – piece

hero – piece (n)

1   refers to the stand-out item of an outfit

2   regarding a total ensemble, the signature element showcased

3   the spotlight factor, which defines the style statement / style intent

…

 

You are my ‘hero’- piece

'spezzatura', Fall 2015, fashionspeak, menswear, Pitti Uomo, street style sass, style inspiration

 

 

The fashion high voltage spotlight is now solely positioned on

menswear, autumn 2015

runway designs and street style exhibitions-

as presented during the five day ‘fashionableness’ event,

Pitti Uomo (Florence, Italy).

…

Pitti Uomo has evolved into the fashion world’s

most extravagant menswear occasion.

Established fashion street photographer Scott Schuman,

who is known from his work The Sartorialist,

has dubbed the Pitti Uomo “the Super Bowl of men’s fashion”

for its on and off runway style parade.

…

Starting 15 January to 19 January 2015, designers presenting at Pitti Uomo

will showcase their crafted menswear collections for a/w 2015.

Yet, it is the greatly anticipated off runway show of enviable Italian flair for

dress spezzatura (seemingly effortless with maximum impact),

which will be much observed and emulated.

…

Why not consider a few street style suggestions:  take note.

Favlook – Lookfav Focus … spring outerwear: dusters and slouchy trenches

15 Saturday Mar 2014

duster coats, slouchy trench, spring lightweights, spring/summer 2014, Spring/Summer 2014 Collections, street style sass

Traditionally dusters adhered to the 4 Ls

light – weight

light – coloured

long

loose

and when horses were the main means of transport

the duster was worn to safeguard clothing from

the dirt/elements of a day’s ride.

With the later introduction of the open car,

both men and women favoured dusters as practical, protective outerwear.

…

Today, duster coats  span the  colour spectrum, but the intention

of loose fit, light – weight with length remain constant –

no longer function- wear but fashion – ready.

…

Cue the modern take on the traditional trench –

not as commissioned army wear but as required wardrobe staple.

The new inspired silhouette is a nod to the duster’s 4 Ls.

…

spring into it for 2014.
