Below: Make a colour statement this SS2015 with these Valentino Rockstud 1973 bags and shoes! Yes, they are for the boys... if you dare to wear this much colours! Love the backpacks and rockrunner sneakers:-)

Valentino Rockstud 1973 Collection For Men

If you are looking to make a colourful style statement this Spring Summer 2015... Good news for you. Valentino’s Rockstud 1973 collection is definitely going to send you on a technicolour roadtrip in high fashion. Inspired by a psychedelic print from a 1973 Valentino show, the collection features an energetic chevron motif or dazzling colourblock patterns applied unabashedly on accessories and ready to wear pieces. Although most of the pieces are meant for the fairer gender, there are a couple that made it to the mens:-)  Thank the fashion gods!

For the boys, choose from a fan favourite backpack (USD1890) that will put Rainbow Brite’s outfit to shame, or my personal favourite, the Rockrunner trainers (USD760) bearing the collection’s super happy hues. For a gender bending fashion spin, I will not hesitate to wear the colourful leather studded bracelet (USD355) as a eye catching wrist candy to pop an outfit.

Spring Summer is always the season for colours. So go bold and have fun with it!

Gucci Flora Knight Mens Bags Collection

Florals and plants have been a constant source of inspiration for designers when designing for Spring Summer seasons. Botanical prints bring about a flamboyant sense of joy and freedom. Nature have a way to enthralled us with all their colours and beautiful organic forms.

Just as Valentino has gone full on for prints this SS2015, Gucci launches their Flora Knight collection that gets us back in touch with mother nature, albeit in a sexier and luxurious way. Whimsical, colour botanical and floral motifs set against a dark background add a sense of mystery, offsetting the colours to showcase the brilliance of the pattern. Perfect on mens accessories, the collection introduces the prints on coveted mens canvas and leather backpacks (€890), totes (€695), clutch bags (€260) and even travel trolleys (USD2950). Boys will not lose out to the ladies this season especially when it comes to stunning prints.

These patterned bags will make ideal travel companions when you basked under a warm summer sun in Tuscany or lounge beachside in Bali.

I want the backpack!

Loewe Meccano Mens Oxford in Black

Below: More quirky, indifferent designs from J.W. Anderson's Loewe collection... This time I love the Meccano inspired (A type of construction toy kit from yesteryear) black oxfords where a conventional mens shoe design gets a makeover with colour and personality! Love the detachable cut-out leather piece that gives the shoe their uniqueness:-) (Streetstyle pic from Style.com)

 Below: Featured on the SS2015 lookbook and injects a youthful cool to the model's look...

  

Loewe Meccano Mens Oxford in Black

JW Anderson’s debut Spring Summer 2015 Mens Collection for Loewe has been highly anticipated by many in the fashion industry. Taking the Spanish luxury label to a refreshed and younger era, the collection is filled with many avant garde accessories that speaks volumes of Anderson’s highly original and androgynous style.

Part of the  pre-launch collection for JW Anderson’s Loewe collection, the Meccano inspired (a toy model construction system conceived by Frank Hornby in 1898) range of accessories evoke a sense of naivety and graphic children’s toys. One of my favourite piece from the collection is the Meccano Black Oxford (SGD1390) which feature a detachable multi-colour decorative leather ‘tongue’ that adds colour and interesting graphic detail against the all black leather. Cream coloured leather laces provides another layer of contrast and the final composition is one that is refreshingly quirky. Holds true to the collection’s concept of hyper-normality: Realistic, functional and utterly desirable. A simple black conventional oxford transformed and modernised.

Check out the streetstyle pic above of this guy from Milan Mens Fashion Week (FW2015) spotting the exact same pair... I love all those yellows and coral reds from the graphic cutouts making the shoe charmingly cute. Perfect to go with denim or knitwear as shown in Loewe’s SS2015 ad campaign. J.W. Anderson is definitely on the right track to inject newness to the brand. I’d wear these in a heartbeat!

Valentino Spring 2015 Mens Camubutterfly Collection

Below: For Spring 2015, Valentino refreshes the masculine camouflage print with a touch of sensuality... Check out the colourful and imaginative Camubutterfly collection... which comprises highly desirable items from rockrunner sneakers to amazing backpacks! LOVE!

 Below: Summer weather calls for more patterns. And these Valentino Camubutterfly prints are perfect to accentuate colourful looks for warmer months to come! The T-shirt and backpack gets my top votes:-)

Valentino Spring 2015 Mens Camubutterfly Collection

Valentino has to be credited for the resurgence of interest in camouflage pattern in menswear lately. Although the pattern has been a recurring source of inspiration for my designers, Valentino took the pattern to new desirability and has now become synonymous with this highly appealing and masculine pattern.

Camouflage print has been interpreted millions of times around. How far can you push this pattern to attain another level of freshness? Well, Valentino has the answer. Presented as a Fall Winter 2014/2015 Pre-collection for the ladies, the men are getting a somewhat later start to the Camubutterfly collection.

The camouflage print is a very masculine pattern associated with the military. To soften the effect and bring a new sensuality to the print, Valentino has injected a flurry of fluttering butterflies to form a new style of camouflage pattern. The colourful and imaginative wings are layered over one another, hued in coordinated colour range of olives and khakis while bringing out beautiful pinks, greens, oranges and whites. The Camubutterfly is born. I love this softer ode to camouflage... especially when men are more receptive to the idea of a more flamboyant print. (Men love their florals!).

For the mens Camubutterfly collection... look out for amazing Rockrunners sneakers (USD910), Nylon Printed Backpacks (USD2030), Espadrilles (USD450) and embroidered butterfly motif jackets (USD3350), Printed Trousers (USD910) to swimshorts and t-shirts (Both at USD490).
