HOLIDAZE

Happy end-of-year holidays from all of us over at Style For Guys! From me, I mean me. It's just me. Light a Diptyque candle then immediately blow it out because you're literally burning money like what's the idea here Marie Antoinette, study for finals, despise every waking moment have some family quality time, drink too much, donate to the less fortunate, make love, patch up old ties, scribble down resolutions, plan a New Year's Eve outfit, spill wine on said outfit and contemplate autodefenestration.
2014 will be big, one way or another.

THE HOMESTEAD

"OMG, that's so me", chirped the millenial. Could be the first sentence of the Book of Our Generation, right? It's true that we love seeing our idiosyncrasies echoed by others online. But why does it make us feel better to read that someone else in the world also likes scratching off the 'gold' from the edges of a Nutella jar? If we pick up some heinous detail happening on our favourite TV show, do we not scour the Twitter search feed to find out if someone else has noticed? Or is that just so me? Recently I've found that the hours of navel-gazing I've been racking up lately have become quite a pain in the neck. (It's almost as if constantly worrying about where you're headed in life and who you really are, isn't worth it at all)! I remember feeling reinvigorated and good about myself after I did that outfitpost on a snowy rooftop. So, almost a year later, I teamed up with my dearest photographer "Da Qwen" once again. I styled an outfit with a bit of Yeezy , a touch of JPP and took it all the way back to the homestead.

ANTWERP FASHION GOT ME LIKE

I just realised that I had shown a peek of my Dries Van Noten clutch on instagram a while back, but then never actually showed you the full package. Its mossy glossy leather has got me like:

Chloƫ knows the worth of a good clutch. So here it is, lying atop one of its cousins:

Now we're on the subject of Antwerp and fashion: I went to see Diane Pernet's A Shaded View on Fashion Film Festival last week and it was a total treat. Hours of short films by the most talented visionaries; I've been in dire need of inspiration of late so it was just what the doctor ordered! 






The cherry on top was attending (thanks to KNOTORYUS) the very first Fashion Talks conference. Guest speakers like Walter Van Beirendonck, Tim Blanks and Imran Amed talked about the importance of pairing business sense with fashion creativity, the changes in runway culture, the significance of conglomerate fashion takeovers, developing markets and much more. It's safe to say Antwerp was where the fashion buzz was at, last week. And thus, I live once again!

My hero, Tim Blanks, was so self-deprecating and whimsical. LOVE THAT MAN.
