Men's bottoms....

Neil Barrett S/S 10, Dries Van Noten S/S 10

Dior Homme F/W 09, Patrik Ervel F/W 09

Hugo by Hugo Boss S/S 10, Givenchy S/S 10

.... and yes - men shall wear printed bottoms as well! Not until Spring 2010 however. As usual men's shows and trends are often inspired by the previous season's women's wear collections - and this time is no different. While women will have plenty of print going on on their legs this fall/winter season, men will have to wait until next year. That's not necessary a bad thing because I think a printed pant on a man looks much fresher in the Spring/Summer season than in winter. The most wearable and tasteful versions were by Neil Barrett and Dries Van Noten. For you riskier boys out there - you might want to check out Givenchy's printed harem pants...

Whatever you chose - risky, safe or edgy - if you want to make a statement, don't miss out on acquiring a printed pant gentlemen!

Girls - Get your bottoms ready for Fall

Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez, Hussein Chalayan, Vena Cava

Cavalera, Tori Burch, Miss Sixty, DVF

Everybody's doing it - from Rio to Paris - PRINTED BOTTOMS! Get ready for a fun Fall/Winter season and switch it up with printed jeans and leggings instead of a traditional printed blouse.
If you want to join the club, your printed bottoms need to be slim and sexy though. The printed Harem pant is so last season!

So go crazy at Marc Jacobs with swirl printed leggings or stay on "a budget" with Miss Sixties Rococo printed slim fits. What's super fresh are all the monotone patterns and no-print prints, for those of you who don't want to go all the way out there like DVF's animal jean.

Spread the print love and go shopping my friends! And stay tuned for some men's bottoms updates...

Printed wetsuits with homage to inner strength

I discovered something genius!

Printed wetsuits, conceptualized and designed by "...BY DIDDO" http://bydiddo.com/ - a design studio based in Amsterdam whose creator Diddo has collaborated with Frank O. Ghery, Bono and UNESCO.
These wetsuits are everything else but your usual surfing attire. I cannot better describe them that their creator who posted the following on his website:

"The first edition contains four original designs: a rusted iron diving suit evoking the days of Jules Verne, the anatomic musculature suit as a homage to our inner strength, a wet suit which gives the illusion that the wearer has been attacked by a group of hungry sharks and finally a whale shark patterned suit that celebrates the brilliance and originality of our natural water world."

If I only surfed or dived - this would be my number 1 choice. I looooove them!!!
