Michael Kors – Spring 2010
Glamour and icy futurism perform side by side on Michael Kors Spring 2010 Men’s line that features avant garde yet classically designed sleeveless jackets and zippered knits. The glacier blue and marble print suits are stunning, as well as the interesting inclusion of parachute pants and a utility jacket with a drawstring. There’s something innately American and luxurious about Kors’ offerings here for 2010 but there’s also a hint of outer space and what fashion will look like in the years to come that is very intriguing.

Michael Bastian – Spring 2010
Michael Bastian said he’s inspired lately by the way Latin men blend machismo and emotion and this concept is vividly evident in his Spring 2010 collection. The collection has a lot of spirit, and the inspiration is overt, as there are t-shirts emblazoned with the Virgin Mary and a “Milagroso” tank, not to mention a model with the Holy Mother tattooed on his arm. The colors are vibrant and the looks are original from the formalwear to the casual with a Latin or one might say Italian essence. Wholeheartedly masculine but not without fun, Bastian brings plenty of heat and has his muse in the palm of his hand.

Thom Browne – Spring 2010
Thom Browne’s wildly futuristic yet classic designs are usually also accompanied by a healthy dose of theatrics and showmanship and his Spring 2010 collection is no exception. His looks are offbeat and fun, but made precise and worn with confidence. His aesthetics on the runway this time are typically a collection of oddities but there are some garments that suggest Browne might be toning things down a bit to broaden his influence. Here one can find suits in distressed and mended fabrics, pieces that function individually as well as part of a whole, and all the spacey futurism and lighthearted diversion we have come to love from Browne.

Shades of Greige Round Collar Coat
Fall weather can be deceptive, and it’s better to leave the house prepared then get caught in the wind in a t-shirt and wish you had a jacket. Luckily Shades of Greige made us a gorgeous blue round collar coat to beat the chill. A fresh shade of navy blue accented by brown wooden buttons and a brown leather strap for the neck are the hallmarks of the piece, not to mention it looks like it fits great. The tempting 220 dollar price tag makes it a must cop for a nice light jacket for fall and for spring when the ice starts to melt. Available at Need Supply.
Shipley & Halmos – Spring 2010
Shipley & Halmos by Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos have gone conceptual this time around for their menswear in Spring 2010 with “Versus”. Their lookbook revolves around the notion of push and pull, of conflict and chaos and ultimately the cohesive beauty that can come out of contrasting elements. Instead of a show Shipley & Halmos produced 4 short films on opposing ideas: static vs. motion, action vs. reaction, et cetera. The lookbook is tailored suits parried by loose shorts and comfortable knits, of big parkas and slacks with black leather jackets. Shipley & Halmos employ the Spy Vs. Spy dynamic to great effect for Spring 2010.

Longines Lingbergh Atlantic Voyage Chronograph
The power of a wrist ornament or more specifically a good timepiece’s effect on separating a man’s outfit apart from the crowd should never be underestimated. Just imagine what might happen if you had this new Lindbergh Atlantic Voyage Chronograph from Longines. The watch is stunning and comes in steel and in pink gold. The watch is water resistant to 100 feet, with a power reserve for 42 hours, and the dial is crafted from opaline silver. It’s a return to tied and true classic design, and the result is beautiful.

With Liz Collins, Jacob Sutton, and David Slijper behind the tripod, BG in Print brings the fall wardrobe of Bergdorf to live in vivid detail.
