Something for the weekend...

   

if christophe decarnin is still at balmain, would he have approved of these balmain homme spring summer 2012 shots distributed during paris fashion week? the poses are so cheesy that zoolander wants it back. and that look on the right, zara wants it back too.



and i would like to know if frida giannini, creative director of gucci, personally approves of the above t-shirt from gucci pre-fall 2011. oh yes, it is a genuine piece, available online from matchesfashion.com. in my humble opinion, it is so tacky even by counterfeiters' standards.

and i am doing this out of love. i love balmain and gucci, love it enough to go out and buy pieces at retail. i know they can do better.

James Franco at Los Angeles International in Gucci


james franco at LAX / ph: bauer griffin

there's something about mr james franco that is so appealing. the more discreet and nonchalant his dress sense, the more i wanted to know what he is wearing. mr franco was spotted at los angeles international (LAX) last weekend in the above ensemble. had i not tried that jacket in stores previously, i would have missed it completely. mr franco wore a college style blouson from gucci, with a navy cotton body and black lightweight leather sleeves. i believe that is a piece from gucci's pre-spring 2011 collection, and actually one of my favourite pieces from that collection.


not sure why james and the model above are sulking but a happy blouson this should be. the gucci blouson is also available online here at matchesfashion.com.

James Franco in Washington D.C. with Guccissima weekend bag


2011 oscars host and best actor nominee and latest gq style posterboy james franco was spotted at washington dc airport yesterday in an eclectic get-up consisting of a blue woolly hat, brown argyle cardigan, black gucci weekender and a pair of brown tortoiseshell sunnies. shouldn't work, but ooooh so charming he can sell me anything.

i love his weekender from gucci's guccissima range, where the house monogram were embossed on the soft smooshy leather. i prefer the version in brown, which is available online from mrporter.com. also loving his tortoiseshell sunnies, there's a very similar pair from cutler & gross from mrporter.com too.

nice.

Ethan Ruan [阮经天] in Esquire magazine editorial in Gucci and MCM


taiwanese artiste ethan ruan [阮经天] was recently featured in an editorial for esquire magazine. in what must be a very comfortable photo shoot, mr ruan slept in a bathrub but robed in a gorgeous lilac gucci jacket, and pillowing with a mcm luggage bag. i love the styling, there were a myriad of colors, but everything seemed to fit really nicely. especially loving the mcm bag which was from a special "shanghai" collection. l00o00ve!

Hyun Bin [현빈] at "Late Autumn" Press Conference in Gucci


hyun bin / ph: han myung-gu, getty images

south korean actor hyun bin attended the press conference of "late autumn" in seoul on thursday, head to toe in gucci spring summer 2011. it's a very different look to the leopard print givenchy outfit a few weeks back. i like this look, the jacket fitted nicely, trousers hem length was good, i don't even mind the sheer top he wore. i couldn't find any fault even if i tried.

my favourite item from the whole look was the suede horsebit slippers. cut from one entire piece of leather, i am loving both the sleek black or summery pastel lilac. ahhh love.

Out and about...


out and about last saturday in my balmain homme teddy jacket, gucci checked shirt, topman trousers, zara suede boots and smelling of helmut lang cuiron.

looking back, i should have done up the fifth button. oh well.


and i bought gloves. purple wool plaid gloves with leather underside from zara. yes i broke my 2011 rule of buying less and buying better, but i lost my gloves and it was freezing cold. and it looked so pretty, and more importantly reduced in the sale to £7.99.

l00o00ve!

Seth Rogen at 'Late Show With David Letterman' in Gucci


seth rogen / ph: jeffrey ufberg, getty images

it's like waiting for the bus, none comes for a long time (while in season) and then two comes at once (when you're already late, or off season). earlier this week, chace crawford was seen filming scenes in new york with the same coat, and yesterday actor seth rogen visited the 'late show with david letterman', also in the same blue coat from gucci fall winter 2010.

i mentioned in the previous post that the peacoat featured brown suede detailings on the cuffs and elbow patches, which was unseen in chace's pic. and now we see it on seth! not being diplomatic, but i honestly think seth looked great in that coat. he filled out the coat really well, and i would totally pair it with jeans and sneakers too. love both chace and seth's interpretation, it's like playing uptown and downtown.

by the way, does that guy in the red jacket creeps you out??

Chace Crawford at set of 'Gossip Girl' in Gucci


chace crawford / ph: akm images, justjared


chace crawford was recently seen in new york filming scenes for the upcoming series of 'gossip girl'. the actor looked really good, and was styled in a blue peacoat from gucci fall winter 2010. not sure if it was a deliberate move to bulk him up with so many layers, or maybe it was just really cold in new york this week. love the whole styling, from the gloves to the brown boots which thankfully they resisted in tucking their trousers in.

actor seth rogen was also seen wearing the same jacket to "the late show with david letterman" a day later.




gucci fall winter 2010 / ph: gq.com


on closer look, the peacoat featured brown suede detailings on the cuffs and elbow patches (not seen), and black leather braided buttons. i really love the peacoat, if it's good enough for those on the upper east side, it's good enough for me.

Gucci Cruise 2011 cotton tote bag


gucci cruise 2011 / gucci.com

not a lot of retailers do cruise collections for men, but gucci is one that consistently does it for the past few seasons. i find "cruise" to be really poncy, it's essentially pre-spring, a small collection to tide us over until the full spring summer collection arrives in stores around february to march.

i really like the whole look from above gucci's pre-spring 2011 collection. love the schoolboy blazer which is a classic, and i'm equally drawn to the cotton bag too. it looked like the perfect in between size when compared to a weekender or everyday bag. i honestly think it looks great, and i will get a lot of use out of it.


the lookbook pics above showed the bag with a shoulder strap as well as leather detailing on the sides. however these details are missing from the actual bag being put into production, which is quite a shame as those detailings really adds to it. in addition, the bag does look a little "ally capellino-ish", and not exactly impulsive-friendly when it's retailing at £745.

so a little yay, a little nay. still prefer the lookbook version.
