Great news for you readers in Japan! Why-lip.com has now updated their online shelves with Milan and Paris’ Spring 2010 collections. Featuring everything from Givenchy’s tartan shorts and gladiator-style high trainers, to Gareth Pugh’s shredded knit sweaters and multi-zip jackets. Some of which can already buy with a 5% discount.

On an Interesting Side Note – The seemingly bottle blonde modeling Gareth Pugh’s latest collection on both Why-lip.com and Lusiaviaroma.com is none other than…*drum roll please*…Pugh’s boyfriend Carson McColl (who you might remember from Jak and Jil). Interesting indeed.
.

Though we’re going  have to wait a little bit longer for the latest from Paris, it’s certainly worth your time. As Bruno Pieters steps down at Hugo by Hugo Boss to focus more on developing his own line, and Roland Mouret plans to display a 15-piece collection of men’s tailored clothing and separates, I wouldn’t miss out on Paris fashion week if I were you.

I’m already excited to see what Riccardo Tisci, Raf Simons, Juun J., and my other usuals have in store. Let’s just cross our fingers and hope that Christophe Decarnin has finally gotten the memo.

As we are continuing to gear up for some major upgrades, we think you should have multiple places to follow Homme Times. You can follow us here, on Twitter, and now Facebook! We will be updating each venue daily so check back often for the latest in men’s fashion and Homme Times news. You can also shoot us ideas, comments, and questions on any of the pages and we will respond to you as soon as we can.

Now, quick! Become a fan!

Time for some new campaigns, don’t you think?

For Spring 2010, Lanvin enlisted the photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin to model the new collection. The ads exhibit a feeling of love and happiness between the couple with lots of kissing going on. The ad is a step away from previous ones and I have to say that I like the previous ads better. I’d rather have models in front of the camera, and the photographers behind, that’s what we have them for.

But, it certainly does grab your attention.

Last fall, Milan brought us head-to-toe black, extreme knits, and Prada Fall 2009.

Well, it’s that special time of year again and in only a few weeks from now, quite a few runways in Milan will come alive with the sounds of male models strutting down them. What will Raf Simons, Miuccia Prada, Frida Giannini, and Christopher Bailey show us this season? Surly, I don’t know…but I am defiantly waiting on edge to see.

If everything goes as planned, I will hopefully be keeping you updated direct from a few of the shows themselves.
