Creep by Hiroshi Awai’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection is a favorite here at SwipeLife. For Fall/Winter 2010, we got a chance to get up close and personal with some of the pieces when we made our way to the Capsule Show in NYC this past month. With an extremely darker vibe than the Spring collection, Creep’s direction still follows the same design principles with pieces that are unique and well crafted. The quality is outstanding upon inspection and a few things that stood out for us was the blue toggle coat and the camel colored suit. This solid collection is worth the look for the winter of 2010.

We’ve mentioned Ute Ploier before as having one of the most truly original aesthetics in terms of construction in the fashion industry. Her knack for details and layers are outstanding, but its how she shapes her pieces on the male form is what makes her collections outstanding. For Autumn/Winter 2010, Ute Ploier mixes avant-garde styles with a casual, wearable twist. The use of plaids and solids with long draping garments make her collection really one of a kind during Paris Fashion Week.

Vincent Flumiani of Caulfield Preparatory was just nominated as one of the six finalists to become GQ’s 2010 Best New Menswear Designers in America. For Spring/Summer 2010, the collection continues to lives up to its name in the “prep” category as it did in its first collection that we saw. There’s a youthful charm to the range with a colorful array of items including knit sweaters, t-shirts, light coats, tops, and more. With the ocean and a yacht as a backdrop for the collection, Caulfield Prep takes the nautical theme of the range to something entirely unique and fresh. One of the reasons why Mr. Flumiani is nominated this year.

At the crest of a hilltop in Escondido, California, the Rancho McMillen House, designed by Architects Magnus, enjoys expansive views of the golf course below and dazzling sunsets every evening. More importantly, though, the home’s elevated perch allows it to take advantage of the steady breeze from the Pacific Ocean, which acts as a passive cooling system. Also aiding the cooling effect of the ocean breeze is a roof whose carefully calculated overhangs shade the floor to ceiling windows throughout the course of the day.

The interior of the home merges rustic, natural elements with modern style; flexible living spaces, an open staircase, and contemporary lighting are complemented by wood ceilings and cabinetry, stone-clad accent walls, a wood burning stove, and dark stained concrete floors. Outside, natural landscape, heavy timber structural elements, and fire-resistant cladding echo the interior theme.

Lamborghini’s barrage of numbers and letters continue, but not without consequence. This latest creation, a concept brought to life by Canadian design student Amadou Ndiaye Ba, pays homage to the Lamborghini Espada of the 60s. The Espada was a unique grand tourer that boasted a front-mounted V12 and styling from renowned design house Bertone. This latest seems to indicate the bullfighting company’s current direction; the revival of an FR platform to compete with the likes of Aston Martin’s One-77 or perhaps Mercedes’ SLS AMG. Oddly enough, the Toro bears some resemblance to Bertone’s most recent creation, the Mantide, although they had no part in this current project; the sharp angles and aggressive styling still retain to soul of current Lambo vehicles but the elongated hood and overall proportions are clearly reminiscent of the GTs of the 60s and 70s. Ba’s take on styling seems to balance modernity and classic dimension without having the car look like a cheap throwback (see: Camaro, Mustang). The Toro follows current Lamborghini guidelines with its name: 690 denotes the horsepower, 4 indicates four-wheel drive, and LA signifies ‘Longitudinal anteriore,’ which is the position that the engine is mounted in. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for this one.

With such a historic tinged take on men’s fashion today, the vests most designers are now showcasing have moved away from the formal, three-pieced Wall Street variety and toward an earthier, Quaker farmer style. Anatomica’s Autumn/Winter 09 line offers this Brown’s Beach Cloth Vest in nubby navy that christens your modern look with a quaint, almost chaste sense of charm. Available at King-Nagoya.com.
