Daniel wrote What men will be wearing next year
The menswear spring 2012 catwalks have barely had a chance to cool, the collections they hosted have yet to make their full impact, and there are another two seasons to live through before we even indulge in next year's spring / summer pieces. Yet none of these points get in the way of the fact that with many an interpretation of menswear for spring / summer 2012 revealed, there comes a desire to begin promoting them.
And that's just what Italy's MFF (Magazine For Fashion) is doing. For their sixty-third issue, MFF have grouped models, designers and their collections for a crystal clear take on what the likes of Roberto Cavalli, Missoni, and John Varvatos are offering for the season.

Daniel wrote Have street photos lost their lustre?
There's no doubt about it: street style photographs are popular; it's the fashion industry's version of reality TV, only good. And while the likes of Bill Cunningham first pioneered street fashion photography decades ago, with many a photographer subsequently aping it, it's a style of photography that not only remains popular but also influential. Sadly, however, as an art form it's long moved from beyond a well curated scarcity to become a mass produced commonality. Some fashion magazines are known to stage their own take on the subject, dressing every day people in clothes from their advertisers. And then there's the fact that the style has now unabashedly reached advertising campaigns.
Thus it's fair to question whether or not the popularity of street style photography is coming to an end. After all, most trends (for street style photography is certainly 'trendy') soon begin to attract a look of disdain once they reach mass popularity and the mainstream. Is street style destined for the same? Is it dying?

Daniel wrote Time to shine: MSFW preview
Despite the winter rains soaking the city, the first of the coming season's blossom is unfurling in Melbourne. Timely then that the spring / summer 2011 interpretation of Melbourne spring fashion week was launched today. MSFW, as it's also dubbed, is of course a consumer fashion week; that is its aim is not to debut future fashions but to get us, as consumers, to buy the new season clothes and accessories that are appearing in stores.
MSFW 2011 is in for its biggest challenge yet. After all, Melbourne is a city in which fashion retailers are in a downward spiral, their sales outlook bleak. Thus the fashion week's sole purpose this season has to be to work to reverse that trend; it has to get those who attend its events shopping again.
So what's new for MSFW this year? And how might it excite us, as fashion consumers, and help those who sell fashions it's hoped we'll covet?

Daniel wrote Zara in Adelaide
The onslaught against Australia's fast-fashion, middle-market retailers continues refuses to abate. International fast fashion brand Zara has opened in both Sydney and Melbourne this year, and Fashionising.com was the first to reveal the coming of Topshop to Australia. Now comes the confirmation that Zara will open their first store in Adelaide this year.

Daniel wrote All at ease
The evolution of men's fashion is so slow that even when we peg a trend as relevant to a season as far out as spring 2012 it's inevitable that you'll begin to see it worn in the present. So it is that the men's relaxed tailoring trend hits the streets well ahead of next year's spring and the coming fall 2011 fashion season that will begin to shape it.

My Style
I always love to dress well. That doesn't always mean dressed up, but I try to never dress down. I'm a creature of habit, so you'll nearly always find me wearing my favourite brands.Favourite Labels
I have two staple designers: Sir Paul Smith and Ralph Lauren. You'll often find me out in one or the other, and when it's the latter my preference is towards Ralph Label Black Label or Purple Label (though the story themed pieces from Blue Label can still be fantastic). 2008 has seen my tastes head more Continental, and I've completely fallen in love with the recent Gucci seasons. If only they were properly stocked in Melbourne I might be able to buy some pieces!Other favourites include: Ted Baker (poor man's Paul Smith, but still a fantastic designer. Met him, his names not really Ted Baker, sorry to shock), Pringle, Thomas Pink, Lacoste, Fred Perry, Aquascutum, Burberry.
Something You Should Know
I can't get no satisfaction. Cliché. True.Interests
Horse riding, polo business, travelling through Europe (particularly through the United Kingdom), good films, enjoying life and making the most if it, history, particular causes such as architecture preservation, monarchy, fashion, flâneuring, bimbling.For those who aren't already aware;
bimble - To amble without real aim, yet in a friendly and harmless manner. It's not required to acheive nothing, though it is a frequent side effect. Bimbling can be made a little more business like with a slight hunch of the shoulders.
flâneur Webster defines it simply as "an idle man-about-town," one of those fin-de-siècle dandies who ambled through the crowds of European cities in search of bustle, gossip, and beauty. I think of it more as walking through a city, simply for the sake of walking, absorbing it's culture and admiring its architecture.
Hates
Political Correctness Gone Mad - I hate political correctness, the PC brigade, and most everything they've done to society. If one more person tells me that I can no longer call it a blackboard and that I must call it a chalkboard instead, I'll punch them!Woolworths / Safeway / Big W / Dan Murphy's and the other crap they own for demolishing the following building in Caulfield and replacing it with some modern, fugly-arsed store. Hence, they'll never get another cent of my money.
Ikea. I have come to the conclusion that Satan owns Ikea. Either that, or he simply did their floor plan. Honest to God. They trap you in a maze, provide you with a half-dozen rooms that look really good, and then stick you in a warehouse and tell you to go for it. You can't find a single thing that you want, and when you can it's bigger than any of the stupid trolley's they provide! It's mass-produced garbage.
Music
The White Stripes, Badly Drawn Boy, Robbie Williams, Sir Paul McCartney, James Blunt, The Beatles, Girls Aloud (quite possibly something I'll never live down!!)Movies
About A Boy, Casablanca, From Russia With Love, It's A Beatiful Life, Cinema Paradiso, The English Patient, Two Weeks' Notice, Love Actually, The Maltese Falcon, Lawrence of Arabia, The Usual Suspects, Gone With The Wind, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (one of the most enjoyable films of 2005)Television
Little Britain, House, The Sopranos, the new Doctor Who (the old ones bore me to death), Top Gear (I'm not in anyway a car fan, but actually appreciate the show as a hilarious piece of comedy!), Grumpy Old MenReading
British GQ, Tatler, British Esquire, The Spectator, Ian Fleming novels, Haunted by James Herbert
