Versace is saying rockabilly influence, I’m saying they have been inspired by the guy who writes the Kate Loves Me blog. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of the blog, and the guy, but he looks good because he has a great body, but he’s not hugely buff. There’s a fine line here, you can’t put a skinny boy into a sleeveless top, and you can’t but an overly buff guy into a rockabilly outfit. Anyway, the collection has some great pieces, and looks pretty cool, but its the styling and casting that disappoints a bit.
I love…
a great suit turned rockabilly with the accessories.
great shirt detailing. That's what menswear is all about.
cool accessories. In fact, I'll take that whole outfit for my husband.
the contrast between the double-breasted tuxedo blazer and the skinny trousers. A well-dressed man.
I loathe…
Jersey Shore goes rockabilly for the Versace catwalk.
skinny arms.
mesh tops on men, especially when there is exposed nipples.
throwing in punk references when the inspiration was supposed to be "rockabilly."
