Men's Fashion Inspiration Vol. 1

Strangely enough, men's fashion is just a huge part of me. Perhaps it has something to do with my mother's awesomely androgonous but elegant style influence on me. Whatever it may be, I love men's fashion the most out of all. I will create spreads of styles that I find to be inspiring. I'm also trying to get some inspiration going for my husband, and anyone else who needs it.

One thing about me is that while I do enjoy certain fashion trends, I do not follow trends in real time. My creative choices will not be stifled by rules and regulations. No thank you. I'd actually prefer something to be out of season for me to don it. I just don't see it that way. 

The whole point of me saying all of this is that I will include anything I find inspiring in a spread. Now I probably wouldn't suggest sweaters in the heat of July (even here in Cleveland that might be a bit much), but I won't leave something out due to a fashion rule. I feel like artistic expression should have some room for purposeful error.

Behold the best piece of time expression I may have ever seen. I need a girl version of this. Or just this picture blown up and framed so I can just look at it. I guess I can just look at it on my blog for as long as I want. Yea, I'll just do that.

Crowned: A Portrait Series

Crowned is a portrait series created by Joanne Pief and photographed by Andre Wagner. When I finished watching this Crowned Series, I was silenced. There was nothing to be said, but more so felt. It truly is a spectacular feature of black men and their extraordinary hair. I was consumed by the raw beauty of men from African decent. But right now, I am beginning to feel my word flow reinstate. So let me describe this piece to you candidly. 

This piece is power. This piece is clarity. This piece is poetry. This piece is love. This piece is strength. This piece is discovery. This piece is beauty. This piece is victory. This piece is movement. This piece is still. This piece is organic. This piece is man. This piece is black. This piece is brown. This piece is Crowned.

You must watch this extraordinary portrait series. The music is as much of the piece as the visual content, therefore it is encouraged to absorb both hand in hand (I had to pause my Sam Sparro Pandora radio, I was in the mood for some Black&Gold). I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. My father had locks, and my husband has them now. I could only help but think of how they would've fit in a such a series. Enjoy.
