Missoni x Converse

Italian fashion house Missoni teamed up with Converse to come up with these super sweet Chuck Taylor’s, unveiled during Missoni’s Spring/Summer 2010 menswear show.

Looks great! Don’t think these will ever make it to Vancouver, but a boy can dream…

Dsquared2 S/S 2010.

Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2010 runway show

Love them or hate them, Dean and Dan Caten know how to put on a good runway show. Dsquared2’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection is imaginatively displayed on the runway through a faux-campsite setting — appropriate, considering it’s been dubbed the “Summer Camp Collection.”

A lot of Dsquared2’s collections in the past always seemed to me to be a strange mix of Abercrombie & Fitch with a Dolce & Gabbana twist. Not sure if that makes any sense, but needless to say, I didn’t always understand it. For this collection, though, I think I finally get what Dsquared2 is doing. And I kind of really like it.

Junya Watanabe S/S 2010.

Junya Watanabe S/S 2010

Easily one of my favourite fashion designers today, Junya Watanabe continues to impress with his Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Described in a word as “snob”, the collection features fitted plaid jackets, preppy shirts, and cropped or cuffed pants.

I really appreciate and admire how although Watanabe’s collection is reminiscent of classic styles, it’s still very much fashion-forward and all very wearable.

Well played, Junya Watanabe. Well played.

Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2010.

Not much to say about this collection. I liked some of the pieces here, but for the most part, it just seemed to me to be the usual Dolce & Gabbana flair. (Take that as you will.) Didn’t particularly like the overly-ripped jeans, though. It was like a very ridiculous throwback to the early/mid-90’s.

Final note: What’s up with male models? Most of these guys’ walks looked so stiff and robotic. Made them look constipated at times. Is there a Miss J for male models?
