SUITS WITH FLARE
We are SO digging these suits with the flared pants leg.
We love that full look in a trouser.
As one walks, the pants look as if it is sweeping the sidewalk. Love it!!
So fresh-looking after a decade of stove-pipe suit leg openings (talking to you H&M!!)!
This is from an editorial Elle Men China.
The model is Diego Miguel.
If any of our readers can read Chinese, please tell us who designed the two suits. The credits are listed in the photo. We think the suit credit would be the first listed, but we are unsure. Feel free to leave feedback in our comment section.

ENERGIE FOUNDER PERISHES, 56
Miss Sixty/Energie/Killah founder Wicky Hassan has perished at the age of 56.
Born in Tripoli, Hassan arrived to the open arms of Rome with his family in the late 1960s. Thousands of Libyan Jews were forced out of the country during the Six Day War, Hassan and family were among those who fled.
Hassan was from a family of drapers.
Edited for clarity:
[Hassan started] selling clothes at flea markets, Romans, and finally managed to open the first store. We owe the first imports of which have become cult brands like Timberland, Levi's and All Star to him. His insights are revealed and success grows right up to the opening of a store in the prestigious Via del Corso.
His first line of clothing, Energie, and in 1988, following 3 years after Miss Sixty: the first born and will be low-waisted trousers suffered a resounding success.
Sixty soon became a group that added over the years Killah and Murphy & Nye Refrigewear.

FALLING IN LOVE
Michael Bastian for Gant, above
Rag & Bone, above
Vintage Polo University Club by Ralph Lauren, above
For Fall 2011, we have been falling in love with blazers. We don't know what caused it; it was a natural gravitation to something so utilitarian, so business-like.
Blazer moments for everyday. Day to evening dressing. Simple. Not having to "think" about what to wear.
We are really digging the blazers from Michael Bastian for Gant. And, we love how those two blazers are styled.
And, don't put it past us, we would totally wear the blazer Rag & Bone did for their women's Fall 2011 collection. With a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt underneath--PERFECT!!
We ordered a vintage Polo University Club blazer from Ebay. Perfect for a day of blogging or business meetings then to dinner and a movie.
In a later post, we'll show you what to team up with the vintage Polo University blazer to make it very "now," very "today."
Go and find your perfect blazer for Fall 2011.

FRIDAY FLASHBACK
The polished perfection that is Polo Ralph Lauren.
These ads from the very early '80s were so influential to us. Our sartorial style today can be traced to the Ralph Lauren aesthetics of yesteryear. You can say, we have Polo/RL in our DNA as well.

BALENCIAGA BUNCH BENCHED
That accessory- heavy crowd known as the fashion set caused the benches at Balenciaga to break.
We kid. The fashion house has not given a reason to why the seats faltered.
It was standing room only for Hamish Bowles, AnnER Wintour (in Balenciaga), Grace Coddington and Catherine Deneuve.
This well-manicured crowd didn't seem to flinch and they rolled with the punches. FASHION TROOPERS!!
