James Long 2011 Spring/Summer Collection

Designer James Long brings out the oil paints and knitting pins for his Spring/Summer 2011 Collection during London Fashion Week. Focusing on the knit trend which is big in menswear for next Spring, over sized silhouettes are complimented with cuffed shorts and rugged boots. Distressed sweaters with intricate cable knitting and large holes, leather biker vests with matching shorts were just a few of the standout looks on display. What sticks out the most in this collection is the designer’s sorbet color palette, which is a mixture of distorted paint splatters and psychedelic prints over garments. To give the collection some sanity, Long added solid jumpers in white and twin knit sets in navy.

Versace Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Menswear Collection Review

Versace, the Italian fashion label is one of the world's leading international fashion houses and it is best known in unique clothing lines and luxurious designs. This time in the Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Menswear Collection, Donatella Versace comes out with a rock ’n’ roll yet futuristic line on men’s clothing. 






The Versace fashion label started taking shape in 1978 when designer and founder Gianni Versace opened his first fashion boutique in Milano. Their popularity kept growing so the label did too, until a very unfortunate incident happened and Gianni was killed. After that, his sister, Donatella took over Versace fashion house and she is now the artistic director. She is in charge of every season’s collection and from what we can see she does her job amazingly good and we are sure that her brother is very proud of her.

Today, Versace brand is a very well known name in luxurious clothing for women and men, couture collections, accessories like jewelry or watches, perfumes or makeup and even interior designs.

Donatella has definitely made a huge impression in the past years with her stunning collections in celebrity’s eyes because we often see a Versace look on the red carpet. Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Lady Gaga or Elizabeth Hurley are only a few celebrity fans of her. Also, to promote her advertising campaigns she used as models fashion icons like Madonna, Halle Berry, Milla Jovovich, Demi Moore or Christina Aguilera in the women’s category only. For men’s wear lines she used as models actors like Ashton Kutcher, Ian Somerhadler from TV shows like Lost or The Vampire Diaries and Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy.
