The San Francisco-based website strategically sartorial social networking, Chictopia will be heading to New York Fashion Week again – but this time they are hosting a whole summit at New York Fashion Week from Feb. 12-13!
Appropriately called Chictopia 10, the summit “will bring online tastemakers, fashion and retail executives, brands and media together in one [...]
Tommy John makes the perfect undershirt
Posted in Fashion, Men's, Shopping, Stores, Style on Jan 4th, 2010
Today, whilst wearing my 3.1 Philip Lim button down (label drop #1) and a pair of blue A.P.C. corduroys (label drop #2) I felt something that didn’t make me feel so dapper. It wasn’t gas. It wasn’t a wedgie. It wasn’t the effects of too much Activia. It was my undershirt. My white V-neck tee [...]
I have this theory that a man could never have enough white button-up (or button-down, depending on how you look at it) shirts. That said, I am always on the hunt for the versatile piece of menswear.
On a recent shopping excursion to American Apparel, I was surprised to see that they had a decent variety [...]

Posted in Entertainment, Fashion, Pop Culture, Style on Oct 7th, 2009
Now that the storm of fanatical outbursts over Alexander McQueen’s Paris Spring 2010 collection has settled, it’s safe enough to enter the field and actually say something about it.
Not having seen the live-streaming show due millions upon millions of people logging on to SHOWstudio.com to watch, I felt defeated. It was like I was Carrie [...]
A ‘Man’ shops for Anthropologie?
Posted in Entertainment, Fashion, Pop Culture, Shopping, Stores, Style, Television, Video on Oct 6th, 2009
It seems that the peeps at the Sundance Channel are lovin’ these fashion documentaries. First, they found success with the Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton doc and now they have created a whole series called Man Shops Globe, which follows Keith Johnson, the buyer-at-large for Anthropologie while he shops around the world trying to find [...]
‘A Single Man’ trailer obviously tells the whole story
Posted in Actors, Celebrities, Entertainment, Fashion, Film, Movies, Pop Culture, Style, Video on Sep 30th, 2009
A Single Man, Tom Ford’s directorial debut, he obviously compacts the entire movie into a two-minute trailer that looks like cutting room floor footage of a Gucci ad. There is no need to see the movie because it was told with such clarity with this trailer. Let me break it down for you.
1.) There’s a [...]
Gareth Pugh = feathers and breasts
Posted in Designers, Fashion, Pop Culture, Style on Sep 30th, 2009
Paris is now rounding out the Fashion Week madness and once again, I am inclined to comment – particularly on this:
Finally. I’ve been waiting for someone to create a monstrous feathered headdress for everyday use.
I love Gareth Pugh. Sure, no normal human being would actually wear these aviary Gothic Mad Max pieces from the spring [...]

Since my name is Dino, I think I may have a bias to Jeremy Scott’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection:

This is the first post about Fashion Week since I was in New York – even when I was in New York, I hardly posted anything on any shows because, frankly, there really wasn’t anything [...]
