Taking another step closer to what may become the future of fashion, last week Jil Sander launched their first ever Online Store. When it comes to shopping Jil Sander online, there are only a few handful of sites that we can usually turn to. Making their runway items more accessible to a wider audience, both men and women’s pieces are now able to be reached within a few slight clicks.

Leading for it to now become a lot easier to get a hold of the runway looks that leave us speechless. With Free Shipping currently in place, I would certainly take advantage of the opportunity, before Spring/Summer 2010 comes into play.

Man vs Machine, a concept hard to ignore as each season moves on. The idea of future dressing whilst still remembering the past and the main origins of what makes up a well-dressed man are brought up through the lens of photographer William Lords. Who in fact can be held responsible for some of the industries hottest show cards/show packages.

Rightfully appointing Tyler Riggs to the role of robo-model, do you remember a time when Tyler had hair? Hopefully you do, seeing as in Polaroids recently taken of the model, he’s swapped out his clean and slightly edgy look for full on semi-baldness.

While some are twitter addicted and others twilight addicted, I can easily now say that William Lords is the man behind some of my favorite shots ever taken.

Do you sometimes get frustrated when you come across a look on the runway that you really like, only to later learn that there are even more details to it than you saw in gq.com’s 320 x 480 sized pictures? Well if you are the observant type, then you will have noticed that in my past few posts I’ve begun to add HQ galleries of the show at hand. Hopefully making it a little better for you to see the full work behind those looks we all love.

Since I’m always trying to improve and search for new ways to bring you the best quality, I even went as far as to go back and swap out my earlier Spring 2010 reviews and add full HQ galleries of each show.

I know what your thinking…Your Welcome.

Have you, for some odd reason, not yet taken a look at Burberry Prorsum’s Spring 2010 menswear show? You know, the one that was showcased back in June. Well, for those of you that are not up on the latest that Burberry has to offer in terms of men’s clothing, have no fear. For Christopher Bailey has shown it to us again, or for some for the first time gives you a peak, of the genius that is his current collection for the more than a hundred year-old house.

Taking us on a trip down memory lane, Bailey brings back the quilting, the trenches, and even the straps that may have driven you insane a few months a go (in a good way). The straps as that I like to refer to as bondage straps, even though I’m sure that isn’t up the Burberry customer’s alley.

This time around, letting the pastels of the women’s looks that also came down the runway cover for all of the pastel colored pieces we previously saw.

Using the same styling, same models, and ditching many of the accessories that were displayed back in June, you can just call this quick glimpse of menswear a tantalizing appetizer.

Easily one of Fall 2009’s best menswear shows, whilst I was making my visits to my favorite designer sites for their latest updates, I once again came across Hugo by Hugo Boss’ Fall 2009 collection, and I just had to share it with you.

Giving us a glimpse of what the future of men’s will hopefully look like, for his first collection as creative director of Hugo by Hugo Boss, Bruno Pieters rethought the male form and the how most men today move about. Adding attitude to the typical/boring old men’s suit by cropping jackets, slimming pants, and covering pieces in prints that might make you a bit dizzy when you first take a look at it. From start to end the show was pure brilliance. I’ll even go as far as saying that it was menswear at it’s very best. So stumbling across the looks again in a whole new atmosphere instantly made my day.

Watering down a few of the looks from it’s original state on the catwalk and swapping out a few pieces with different items to create a whole new head-to-toe ensemble, the versions seen on the Hugo Boss site are more of a natural take on how to wear what you saw on the runway. I’m sure most of us prefer the runway version of the collection, but despite the rounded glasses, cropped blazers, and red & black backdrop being gone, nothing can stop the love we all feel for this collection.

Always sprinkling his womenswear shows with the perfect mixture of men’s looks, Michael Kors is at it again. If diversity is what you look for in a collection, when looking at a Kors show, you are never left disappointed. From the colors to the cuts, even the model selection always manages to be absolute perfection. Only on a Kors runway could Lenz von Johnston, Garrett Neff, and Armando Cabral walk and completely fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

For Spring 2010, Michael Kors sits us down for a lesson in basic necessities and shape. What do you need this coming Spring in the world Kors might you ask. If your eyes are functioning properly, you will need to invest in a well-made white T-shirt, something cut-out or cut-off, and finally you might have to start taking a walk on the lighter side of life. Pastels that is.

Usually when I’m confronted with a pastel colored sweater, Easter instantly comes to mind. Change that to a pastel colored sweater with cut-outs that almost look as if you had a run in with a group of scissor holding 5 year-olds  – absolute perfection. The Easter Bunny could only wish to be so chic.

Fulfilling what men usually run to first, the show also featured a series of black pieces. Hooded jackets and Zip cardigans with detachable buttons (for those of you that can’t make-up your mind), head-to-black will seemingly always be huge.

Though the only thing that confused me about the little black segment was…why was Garrett Neff so covered up?! One of life’s unanswered questions I suppose.
