Not surprisingly there is a relaxed feel to the fashion right now and the pieces feature chilled out jungle and tropical designs. Lace work and inlays add an interesting element and a handmade tone.

It’s the prefect item that transcends the season, when the weather isn’t quite warm enough for bare legs but a way of getting some colour and print into an outfit. Key print trends are African/ Tribal and animal or soft painterly abstracts on silks, satins and acetate crepes. Sass & Bide Seen at designer and high street level, printed pants will still look on trend right the way through the hot Aussie summer...

Inspired by the story from Chernobyl that sunflowers help clean radioactive soil, the setting was a metallic sunflower field. SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE Fur Fur - We were worried SAMPLE that it might be a brand made of…fur, but this cute brand appeals to “Mori Girls” or “Forest Girls”, not hunters. Puffs of tulle and vintage lace, trimmed with rosettes and real Phenomenon flowers, took their cues from vintage lingerie. Mintdesigns – always a commercial favourite, this season, it’s all about print, in washed-out turquoise and orange. The loose shapes, mixes of stripes, spots and gingham in off-beat colours recalled Marni without the complications. Jenny Fax – in her second year, Taiwan-born designer Jen Fang Shueh presented looks inspired by her childhood and the TV show Twin Peaks. G.V.G.V. Lots of 80’s shapes, school girl pleated skirts and SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE anime prints. Key colours SAMPLE were saturated red and Phenomenon black, with hints of pale yellow and baby pink. Fur Fur Matohu – inspired by kimono shapes and modernism, the look was cool, loose and minimalist in subdued blues and greens, a hint of peach and soft grey. Matohu played with stripes, layering Hisui them in different weights. We love the soft striped leggings. G.V.G.V. – drew shapes from the late 1950s, Mintdesigns which reminded us a little of Dior’s recent resort collections. Alongside Capri pants and neat dresses in gelato shades, G.V.G.V. featured strong prints drawn from the jungle, and the ubiquitous gingham check. Phenomenon – this popular menswear brand SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE showed strong stripes SAMPLE and preppy checks with sporty shapes. Gotta love a polka dot biker jacket layered with a check shirt…and it works. Strong reds and inky blues dominated, with shots of fresh mint green. Mastermind – the popular street wear brand collaborated with A Bathing Ape for an instantly commercial collection featuring camo prints, overdyed denim and bandanna prints. Tokyo Fashion Week has long been a problem child: under funded and poorly organized, key designers opted to show overseas or off schedule, then the March shows were cancelled due to the earthquake / tsunami / nuclear issues. Step in sugar daddy Mercedes- SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLEBenz and IMG, and Tokyo SAMPLE has the money and SAMPLE international connections it badly needed. Cool RUNWAY local brands like Phenomenon, Mastermind and A Bathing Ape finally returned after years, Jenny Fax and Paul Smith came to show his support for his biggest market. So on to the shows: The tokyo fashion week overall feeling was of optimism and colour for Matohu SS12, and given the recent troubles, it’s no Spring / Summer 2012 surprise that most brands also played it safe.

My favorite season is definitely autumn/winter just because you have more options, including SAMPLE SAMPLElayers. SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE STREET Your key look for Summer? Summer is great, you just have to keep it STYLE simple. But no thongs or singlets! Q+A with Giuseppe Santamaria, the man behind the lense of cool menswear street site What does the future hold for Men in this Town? My hopes for Men In This Town is to just keep men in this town going with it and continue documenting mens www.meninthistown.com style, hopefully around the world. SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE Scout: How would you describe your great site and how did it come about? Giuseppe: I would describe my site as a collection of images documenting how men dress during this point in time. I started the blog as a way for me to practice my photography and also to show that despite common reception, Sydney men have a great sense of style. How did you get to be involved in NYFW, andSAMPLE what was your highlight? SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE Attending NYFW happened when Tumblr (the blogging platform I use) noticed my work and wanted me to be 1 of 24 bloggers representing them during fashion week. It opened some great opportunities including getting to meet and visit Oscar de la Renta’s studio before showing his line. Not even the media get and opportunity like that! In your opinion what’s the most stylish city for street menswear? Undoubtably, New York has a great sense of style but I think you get that everywhere you got, just sometimes you need to look harder.SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE I would love to visit and shoot in some European countries.
