Let's start with the irreplaceable grey haired designer Giorgio Armani. Aside from
the fact that the entire collection is classically beautiful, one thing did strike a chord, it is as if Armani changed his communication strategy. He might be aware about the whole gay marriage
drama widely held in the United States. Generally speaking in fashion, the show could be described as one model, whether it's a man or a woman, running/walking after another model. But this time
things get a little more subtle as two men were walking together, the second slightly behind the first and to add more extraordinaire an Armani-dandy were with his favorite hag fag cause you know
she looks like more the girl you go hunting around town with than the women yu're getting married with.To me it's clearly addressed to those who weren’t sure about which designer would make the
wedding " suit" for the male male ring exchange in Ohio, now hubby can say" Don’t worry yummy, I got an italian"
Meanwhile, Armani again served up few Italian lessons on dapperness, good quality
fabrics, great cuts, handsome dudes.

Irrestisible fall 09 collection by Kean Etro giving the nowadays prep-wardrobe a
hispter-soul-touch as if saville row gentlemen meet countercultural mini-hippies.Kean Etro's fall collection is more of a homey and warmed bourgeois bohemian executive sophisticately
suited.So far, a few designers- Comme des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto, Dries Van Noten -have been able
to keep in this sense of casual comfort when being dressed up.Kean did it in a colourfully sui generi way: Homey, warm and refined...

An hope-loaded story written by NYT columnist Nicholas Kristof gave us few tips on how to win the war on poverty.
A study has identified 3 groups whom have been unusually successful.
The Asian-Americans whom represent 20 % of students at Harvard. One-third of all the Nobel Prizes have been received by Jews.
West Indian Blacks are 1/3 more likely to graduate from college than African-Americans.
55% of the Chinese-Americans entered high-status occupations, compared with one-third of whites.
Another study found that a child of professionals has heard about 30 m words spoken by age 3 while a black child raised on welfare has heard only 10 m words leaving that child at a disadvantage
in school.
To succeed in a profession or as managers, whites needed an average IQ of 100, while Chinese –Americans managed to achieve more than whites who on the paper had the same intellect.
We could only be led to conclude that intelligence is quite malleable and owes little or nothings to genetics.Education remains the utmost decisive weapons in the war on poverty. Basically it’s
up to us to be smart and succeed….

Comme des Garçons is marking its 40th anniversary by bringing out a guerrilla-style,
temporary brand called “Black” that epitomizes the style, the inventiveness and the originality of its founder, Rei Kawakubo. Here is an inside look at Mrs. Kawakubo’s partnership with Vogue
Nippon.
Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo's stark, architectural pants, jackets, and button-front shirts are staples of the fashion elite. Expensive, eccentric, and conceptual fashion. I echo the sentiments
of Russ W. and others who attest to the quality of the construction. I have shit that's 10 years old and still going strong. The clothes are breath-taking both the fashion and the
price.Elaborate evening jackets and raincoats can be worn over
structured vintage denim skirts.For men, shirts, suits, knits,
and outerwear come in classic fabrics and colors, but they’re far from basic. Coats from the Homme Plus line are $1,295 to $1,950. Jackets by Junya Watanabe start at
$1,000.
