Impeccable

GQ Korea's Fashion Director Jeeyong Kang's killer menswear instinct sets her apart from the crowd. I am a huge fan!

Red Satin ● Breton stripes

I ordered this Acne skirt right before Christmas after seeing a longer, more formal version at the Luisa Beccaria boutique here in Milan. Could red satin be more divine?

When it arrived after Christmas, I began to think about what I could pair it with. Then a trip to American Apparel for some new tights landed me my new favorite Breton-stripe shirt. I have been wearing it every other day! And, at some point during my recent striped marathon, it occurred to me that my new "can't live without" is definitely the mate for my skirt.

Then, three days ago I spotted Katie Grand in a similar theme. So you know that I am convinced right? And If I didn't wear the shirt every other day, the entire look would be packed away in my suitcase awaiting its debut during fashion month.

And here they are together!



Here are the shoes I'm thinking of. From L-R: python cowboy boots by Buttero; suede lace-up boots by ASH; leather lace-up combat boots by Rag & Bone. Which pair do you like? I'd love to know!

Smooth Operator

I've been dreaming of a double-breasted suit (DBS) for a while now. My mother-in-law had a couple custom made last year. Grey cashmere for the cold winter months and white linen for the hot summer months. Devastatingly chic! I always struggle to keep my composure when she wears them.

Just like I had to struggle two days ago when Anna showed up to the Gucci show in this sick Umit Benan DBS. Giving off a total "Smooth Operator" vibe, she expertly contrasts this midnight-blue menswear staple with a white, ruffle button-down; a lovely play on the feminine meets masculine theme that has enjoyed airtime for the past few seasons. Also lovely is the way she accessorizes the look with statement turquoise jewelry.

Note: Umit won L'Uomo Vogue & Pitti Immagine's first menswear edition of 'WHO IS ON NEXT' this past summer.

The Dagger and the Magnum

Have you ever seen someone open a bottle of champagne with a dagger? It takes great skill, draws applause when executed well, and is perfectly disastrous when botched. It's pretty thrilling. Downright cool.

Meet Dafne. She is the reason why we use words like cool. Her energy: confident and seductive. In fact, you can feel it a block away as she graces the streets of Milan in her line of handmade apparel, 1st act. The bottle of champagne and dagger? Formerly housed in the black case she carries as a handbag.
