If I die today, I would want my soul to reincarnate into a mechanic beauty like this time piece. A mere 1 000 will be manufactured, all sporting a 18k rose gold case but with 500 featuring a silver dial while the other half will ship with a brown dial.
The prologue to this year’s Olympic Games has been nothing short of eventful with headlines about the notorious so called “Olympic thugs” and China’s relationship with Tibet. Fashionistas who have kept a distance from the political turmoil can finally find some sense of grace in this, thanks to good news involving Ralph Lauren.
RL have taken on the task of commissioning the attire which the American athletes will be wearing at the opening and closing ceremony of the Olympics. With long history designing sports attire for “finer” sports like tennis, golf and polo very few other American designer posses the same skills in creating formal sports attire like RL. Below is a sketch of a very classy summer outfit that they boys will be wearing. The potential imposture out there who might plan on sneaking into the stadium to parade with the American team might be glad to know that the clothes will be made available to the public for purchase.
"Apparel from the entire Polo Ralph Lauren U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Parade Outfit collection will be available for purchase in the United States—with the official men’s Parade Outfit tie in numbered, limited editions—as well as a collection, comprised of the designs represented in the athlete village wear pieces, inspired by and celebrating the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams. All products will be available for sale in June in Polo Ralph Lauren retail stores, select department stores, and RalphLauren.com, with select items available on the U.S. Olympic Committee website."
Hats off to who ever can identify all the designers in the pictures.
Another month, another issue of GQ. With all the time we spend in front of screens it’s stimulating to once and a while pick up a magazine or book for some old fashion ways of passing time and entertaining ourselves. The pull factor of the May issue was GQ’s annual list of “the best dressed men in Britain”, we all love lists don’t we?
Reading my way through the list from a descending order I wasn’t too impressed with lads pictured, who ranged from British aristocrats living of family residues, politicians in the spot light, fashion retail moguls to some no-name punk and indie pop artists. Simplified into a few words it is a list of bland of non-fashion influential high rollers. At spot number one is the new agent 007, Daniel Craig, whose style has a level of ingenuity on a par with a bowl of milk and cereal. He dress like a male flight attendant, very safe, presentable but quite corporate and yawn worthy.
The sad truth is that Daniel Craig, David Beckham, Pete Doherty and other severely overrated dressers like Orlando Bloom and Jude Law are the best out of the worst. Women are light years ahead of us when it comes to dressing and that is very much reflected amongst celebrities as well. Where are our equivalents of Sienna Miller or the Olsen twins?? We men have no one to be hysterical over, in fact there are barely any male celeb who dress in clothing from the runway, no Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, Bottega Veneta bags, Burberry trench coat or colorful Etro shirt. Nothing at all!! That is why I see GQ's list as "slow-month" story since it consist of non-inspirational characters.
Contrary to all the superficial fashion non-sense I gush out on a daily basis I’m a nerd deep down inside. I love computers, gadgets, HiFi and engineering just as much as I’m crazy about fashion. So this post is for all you fellow tech wizards out there.
Rings interest me as much as a vegetarian is hungry for a meatloaf. The last time I wore a ring must have been in 1996 or something, but I these rings right here are too cool not to talk about. If you paid attention during chemistry class than you have most likely figured out that the chemical symbol of the rings is what has been engraved on them. Cheapest of them all is the one made of out silver(Ag) and cost $205, a golden(Au) one sets you back $2200 while the platinum(Pt) can be yours at the bargain price of $6500. One wouldn’t expect a uranium version to hit the market soon but I’m would be willing to pick up an aluminum or made out of steel.
They are not the most romantic or symbolic rings but seem very fun collect in place in a box with a glass window. You know, the type of objects and memorabilia you proudly bring out to show guests whom you’ve invited for tea and Danish cookies.
You can bring out the glamour in a woman, but never take the gangsta out of her. The launch of the 5th terminal at, Heathrow, Europe’s busiest airport, has been nothing short of a fiasco with hundreds of flights being canceled and baggage lost or delayed. One of the latest victims of the troubled airport terminal is Naomi Campbell.
Sitting on board a plane head for LA a flight attendant presented her with bad news, informing that one of her luggage was unfortunately not able to make it on board. Like any person flying commercial she felt sense of dismay which quickly escalated into anger. As you would expect that was not tolerated by the flight crew who alerted the boys in blue to remove the catwalk diva from the plane.
The sight of cold metal handcuffs awoke the devil inside of her. Having been known for throwing BlackBerry phones at people she launched her latest weapon, venomous saliva, which she spat at a police officer. For the spectacular show she was rewarded with an 8 hour long stay in a cell. Like anyone assaulting a law enforcer she will likely have to face a judge in court within a few months. We all know she's longing to do some community service like she did in New York last year.
Disney broke up with Mcdonalds a one or two years ago because they don’t want to be responsible for attracting kids to unhealthy food using toys. Desperately seeking to re-establish themselves as the food paradise it once was in the 90s attempt Mcdonalds have paired up with Karl Lagerfeld(the new Hamburglar) in a mission to inspire children to eat more healthy by stuffing cute and slim runway dolls into Happy-Mean boxes. The campaign is said to commence in August.
