All up in my Mode...



No gent I know would even consider TRYING out let alone pull off working it, working it, WORKING IT in prints like the below specimens. Maybe because real guys don't look like this!! Not my type at all, far too...erm what's the word? Ah yes IMMACULATE!

 Plus if I did run into say, this dude in the yellow cruising down Tottenham Court Road this would be my dilemma: one, he can fashion together an outfit beyond my realms, two: he is all kinds of loaded flaunting all kinds of Versace, three: has blatantly somehow lost his way from catwalk comforts and his smooth coated, air brushed lady/man friend, and four: might just be hallucinating again.  I fall for the less intimidating geek chic look: you know the one, effortless quirky meets mismatched shades, texture, marks and a hint of musk...sorry that is musky. A hot Where's Wally type.


That said, Mode have collaborated with designers, editors, photographers and pin sharp stylists to fix up this third  and very FINE fashion edition. Adrian Clark calls it 'moments of fabulosity' and whilst such will cost you shmoosers a 'six-figure budget' (and then some) the looks are all up in my Mode!!

Embrace these edits; the lavish or layed back look because presentation, comfort and PRINT are what's going on this summer.  Look at these stunning patterns by Hermes, they are incredible:



 In addition to the Hermes tribute, the Mode team have also clocked in time with a young rockabilly. Lasso you Mr Claflin (unbeknown to me before now) in your rodeo gear (although he does say 'motherfunker' in interview...). Very Jonny Cash slash Elvis no? So would! Well he is also deemed to be trending this year on screen, on our fashion pages and actually on every agenda.



 My what silky drawstrings you guys have too! Loving the texture and why not go all out on a Roberto Cavalli purple print pyjama suit!!??




BUT
...torso shmorso, because socks and sandals will never be a good look fellas...Flash visions of odd Uncle dress code slash European male tourist clutching at tube map. * Palp: so, so wrong.

Mother of all jeans...and leggings!

Holy double-vented comfort, stark, chic SEXY leg wear ladies! I am in love with the MOTHER of all jeans; this pair is my latest lust slash MUST MUST GET ME SOME (that is, get me some monies to pay the dollar bill which would cost me both pins to wangle: $250).  

The style is called The Looker, the colour is called ‘A Day in Paradise’ (it’s all in the name, I am SOLD!)  and they are part of the MOTHER collection by denim vets Tim Kaeding and Lela Tillem. Only these will do for my summer wardrobe this year. Please, please magic me up a pair somehow, somebody...I could go on but I’ll let you have a little look...


 
MOTHER says ‘Our idea was to create a brand that captured the excitement of our own newfangled denims.’ Revolve Clothing say ‘Expect your favorite styles reinvented along with bell bottoms and not-too-skinny skinnies.’

Whilst I am really not loving the AZTEC look, nor do it wear the pastel shades paraded on the catwalk well, I am completely feeling the loud print trousers. Bold, bright, neon styles to work with flats and a white tee, or to sex up with some shmokin’ eyes and a few inches underfoot. Have a look at some of my favs, I have these gold ones from H&M and they work like a charm.

 

Gold skinnies from H&M £24.99


 MOSCHINO Pattern trouser £311.00


GIANNI VERSACE VINTAGE printed trouser, see farfetch from House Of Liza
London, United Kingdom: £428


 
Versace for H&M, Trousers, £39.99

 
Hawaiian Print Trousers by Stella McCartney at Selfridges Top of Form£665.00

Red Fashion Mutant – trousers €274.99
  ALEXANDER MCQUEEN pattern leggings see farfetch Al Duca d'Aosta Mestre, Italy: £328 


JUNYA WATANABE COMME DES GARÇONS Leather trouser, see farfetch from L’Eclaireur Paris, France

These looks are also fabulous, especially the pale blue print trousers. I am on board the big, quirky, STATEMENT print band wagon for sure. So long as it bypasses the over done, cheap, chavvy animal print look. Also if its floral, for me its got to be 'out there' so as to escape the mumsy/ monsoon/ Lispsy pot holes.


 I'd happily wear the below for the rest of my days, LOVE IT ALL >>>
