Street Fashion Update


Source

I love street fashion.
In fact, the only positive way of keeping track of the evolution of male fashions, if any, is to take a look at what guys are actually wearing out in the streets. 

For instance, the garments worn by these innovative dudes, edge-cutting boldness at the time, will soon day become part of the mainstream, ... I'm quite sure of that.
Skirts, ample drop-crotch pants, even high heels.

 His accessories include a silver earring, black leather shoulder bag and a stuffed toy hanging from his bag.

Out-doors fashionistas often include noted fashion bloggers, such as my friend Joe Ma ...

(Joey above is wearing pieces by Tata Christiane along with Rad Hourani male high-heeled sandals) 

... and also celebrated star-models, such as Andrej Pejic (below) who's spending his limited free time with his family in Melbourne.


Andrej's choice of clothing for his "real life" displays more than a touch of androgynous flair, a trait that has made him become one of the most sought-after male (or female) models.

Blogger Update: Victor & Wiktor, Bryanboy, Joey, Mike

So, what are my favorite bloggers up to? Time for another "blogger update"!

Victor Blanco



Victor was the main feature of El Dominical, El Periodico's Newspaper Sunday supplement. 
The article chose a few fashion bloggers who simply spoke up, among them my fave wearing his trademark stilettos, this time bright, un-concealable red.

He has published the complete, very entertaining story... but in Spanish only. 



Bryanboy

Minimarket Spring Summer 2011


During his stay in Sweden, blogosphere celebrity and non-stop traveler Bryanboy payed a  visit to the Patriksson showroom, where he browsed through several Scandinavian designers. He ended up trying on this wonderful printed spring coat by Minimarket.


Wiktor


Gorgeous Wiktor, a professional model,  is always posting images of his own dazzling looks. And that's enough for him to have a complete army of followers and admirers around the globe. 
He tastefully styles himself, toying with different garments, always elegant and refreshing.


Joey



The same goes for my newly discovered Joey M, who's displaying here a beautiful (and I dare say quite manly)  Vivianne Westwood animal-print dress.

His daily fashion experiments are all worth seeing.

Mikey is wearing one of his wonderful skirts here, somewhere around Manila. He and his pal Karl are working on a new promising enterprise. I've already referred to it in my last "update":

Blogger Update: Bryanboy, Jujiin, Joey, Karl

And now, it's time for an update of some of my favorite fashion bloggers. 
What are they up to? And more importantly what are they wearing?
On this occasion, I'll be focusing on my Asian friends:

Bryanboy Vogue Italia

Bryanboy


If we follow the widely known blogger Bryanboy (24), the "Superstar Fab", we'll end up exhausted. He travels non-stop all the time!
Yes, he actually seems to live one of those fabulous-superstar lives envied by most fashion bloggers: he's actually invited to fashion shows all over the world and reports from the locations where and when  the great collections are being launched. 

Great names and labels march in close succession through his schedule, as do the major fashion capitals of the world.

The young Manilan has the chance not only to take a look at the designer pieces, but also, quite frequently, to try them on!

Sophia Neophitou, Bryanboy, Anna Dello Russo

More and more frequently, he's been replacing still images with videos, like this one, which briefly traces his complete profile:

Jujiin Samonte

Another gripping reporter, also a native of the "Pearl of the Orient", the blogging stylist Jujiin Samonte (27), captures our attention by his creativity and his travel reports. 




But what I find the most interesting aspect of his personality, is the fact that he is constantly reinventing  himself: his looks suffer all sorts of fanciful transformations, and he is always experimenting with hairdos and clothing. 









In this recent posting, he is playing with a starry top and a kilt.

Joey

This stylish and fashionable Chinese blogger, whom I recently encountered,  is publishing mostly pics of himself in the most unique and daring getups. Not in vain is it called "Individuality"!
If his blog, as many others, could be defined as self-centered and narcissistic, his refinement and good taste are no mean compensation, and his looks are groundbreaking and courageous: many of the pics have been taken outdoors. 
Always elegant and classy, he looks for inspiration in great designers, such as Orschel-Read (below)





Karl Leuterio

Last, but not least, Karl's not only the paradigm of a "New Male", wearing unorthodox and innovative garments with total freedom, but he's actually set in motion his own fashion line! 


Paradigmshift, his label, was unveiled last Sunday at Graxie, a store located in Manila's Powerplant Mall. 


The collection reminds us of Hourani's, if only for the fact that it's essentially gender-less.
He informs that his mannequins looked different from the rest... No wonder!


I'll soon be reviewing the collection. Good for you, Karl!

Karl's partner, Mike Magallanes, was also present during the startup, and he was also shifting several paradigms fashion wise.
