To style a Man
Comments (0) 
Its just my opinion , but men’s fashion has not been on par with women’s fashion for a while, quite how long is hard to tell but from my estimation it seems to be for at least the best part of 40 years to give a rough estimate , while designers find it easy and necessary to experiment with the look and style of women’s fashion, men seem to be the opposite. The ideas, concepts and colours of men’s apparel and accessories are nice but not always varied, this is not neccesarily true for all cultures and countries, however i will say its more the standard in some parts of Europe and America. Looking at the catwalk collections for a number of designers showed very contemporary designs, but not as Avant-garde as the collection for women even with the same designer. There where a few exceptions Junya Watanabe below, came good and produced a collection that was both wearable and imaginative. John Paul Gaultier above was also in scintillating form, his collection was varied and techincally innovative as seen in the pair of denim’s above.
important aspect of these designs though is how a designer from a totally different culture and country, in this case Japan, see’s the dexterity and applicability of this type of material, and the blend or contrast of the prints in relation to his designs. If you know anything about the texture of this material you will understand that its supple but though. More intrestingly though is his combination of denim(with its working class origins) and ankara (the denim of the nigerian working classes), they are worlds apart, but he has combined them in a way that any one who has lived in nigeria will understand but might not have seen before.
