Street Scene: Skirts 5
Judging by their reactions, Street-fashion postings are a favorite among my readers.
Once again, the theme are skirts, since I've collected cool photographs from around the world.
Contrary to my usual practice, this time I'll start by posting an image of myself.
The pic was taken by my wife while we were strolling through the park.
Yes, I know: I wasn't really "dressed-up"... but comfy I was!

Male-skirts have never been out of fashion in many countries!

And I'm closing this entry with this cute pic, which has been circulating around the web for a while.
As his small son was so fond of dresses, instead of scolding him or trying to "fix" him, this dad decided to support his child by wearing a skirt himself:

Inspired by Her
More and more often, I come across fashion editorials in which a male model is paying a tribute to a female iconic figure. Wait, let's clarify: I'm not talking about female impersonators, i.e. males who attempt to "copy" as closely as possible the features and behaviours of a certain diva, often with humoristic intentions.
(I still fail to see what's so funny about a man dressing like a woman... such a comedian still has to work hard to draw a laugh from me: being in drag is not enough. After all, that's what I do all the time, according to some outdated criteria)
I'm talking about honest homages to a female celebrity in which a man, without pretending to look like a woman or to appear "exactly" like the lady he's styled after, shows his esteem by drawing inspiration for his whole outfit, his accessories, even his makeup, from those of the diva of choice.
For instance, Grace Jones, having been a charismatic performer, and herself quite androgynous in her looks, has been a frequent recipient such tributes.
Jean Paul Paula's haircut, fur coat and lipstick evidence the source of his inspiration. The pic appeared in Candy Magazine.
Andrej Pejic's styling here was inspired by the looks of the almighty Frida Giannini, creative Director for Gucci. (Andrej looks prettier than his role model, one should point out). Now the team lead by photographers Matthew Berthemy and and Paul Kemler pay their homage to Donatella Versace, the heiress of the Versace empire, by styling their model after her.
May I add that, once again, the ever-so-cute Charles Guislain looks way more beautiful than the original?

In Print
I can still remember the days when "magazines" were all "printed" stuff, and you had to eagerly wait for the new number to be issued or your subscription to arrive. The Internet has changed all that. Now you can get updates of your favorite "e-zines" almost every day!
But even in these days of virtual reality and instant gratification, there's nothing comparable to browsing through the latest number of, say, Vogue in it's printed edition, impeccably published in bright paper and gorgeous pictures.
That's why the top magazines are still published in the "old fashioned" way, even if they can also be accessed on-line through their websites or blogs.
And it it classy and chic for a major fashion blog or site to appear in a full fledged printed format, such as the one recently launched by one of my very favorite sites, Mykromag.
It can be ordered at their on-line store.
The debut edition features editorials by Jason Kim, Petrovsky and Ramone, and other artists. Among the stylists we see, of course, the Mykromag team, Sonny Groo and Jean-Paul Paula.
