The AW14 season have just begun for men in London, where the LCM fashion week is now on. The first designer to open the London Collections Man was Lou Dalton, who is known till now for great tailoring and fresh look for classical menswear. The collection was all about good-dressed farm hands with an air of punk in them. Traditional clothes were done with lots of bleaching. However, the show wasn’t so suprise-less! Some unexpected details were the pink acid dyed denim-on-denim elements and a peep of camo print. The show was a bit inspired with men who left everything behind and went on war- tradition versus something more rebellious.

Coool. Piece d’Anarchive SS14
French art students learn about Jean Pierre Raynaud at school. He was the conceptualist who spent 25 years building his house, only to decide it was too perfect and, in 1993, tear it to bits. Piece d’Anarchive, the fresh label coming straight from Paris, is a buzzy, loudly printed and cool vibed brand, that’s pretty new in fashion world. Their first real collection happened last season, and their second is up here, for Spring. Piece d’Anarchive designs for men and women, and their look-books make me want everything! The new collection is inspired with famous monochrome prints that were created by Jean Pierre Raynaud. Shorts, dresses, shoes (!), tshirts… everything is in black & white checks. The womenswear looks really hot and cool, and menswear is simply omething I want for a Christmas present! Just look at these trousers and sweatshirts! Love it! More on http://www.piecedanarchive.com
Men’s: Isabel Marant X H&M
Isabel Marant designed the first time for men! Yeah! I simply can’t wait till 14th of November when I will put my hands on these knitted sweaters! The trousers look really cool with these panels, and the navajo-printed t-shirt look really stylish. And the campaigns… Clement Chabernaud wears this sweatshirt like if it was the coolest thing on Earth. The collection is so easy and casual… Like if it was a mix of causality and beautiful fabrics from far travels! You simply pit one of these knits, and the look is done for you. Can’t wait.
Tuscany: Fiacchini Boutique
The Fiacchini boutique in Forte dei Marmi that is a sea resort in Tuscany, is a great space that will for sure catch an eye of every fashionista. With it’s artistic interior full of rabbits, skulls and human anatomy decorations, this store sells hot labels like Celine, Equipment, Saint Laurent, Balmain, Fausto Puglisi and much more with many independent, less know Italian labels that the names I can’t recall. With champagne bottles all around, it feels here very modern and youthful, the clothes full of chic and trend and of course, the best, with individuality!
Tuscany: -PN\P
Piedi Nudi Nel Parco, in shorter version known as -PN\P, these two dark places in Florence are the coolest conceptual fashion stores in the city! First you need to know, that here you won’t find Givenchy and Dolce & Gabbana. For this you can go to shitty Luisa Via Roma, that is really poor. The -PN\P store is for individuals, that simply love dark, luxury clothes. Here you will find Alaia and labels that reassemble Rick Owens. In both boutiques, women’s and men’s, the interior is very artistic! In the first one you walk on a glass floor through which you see ancient catacombs, and on the second one it’s all about modern fabrics and metallic details… If you are into this style and going to visit Florence soon, this place is right for you!
