Thom Browne Resort 2015

June 12, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

It was all about florals, ugly florals for Thom Browne Resort 2015. But if you read fashionado regularly then you know three things about Thom Browne: 1- We are huge TB fans; 2- TB can do no wrong; 3- There is always a rhyme & reason behind all things TB. He is the master when it comes to layering pieces, combining prints and pattern and my personal fave, exaggeration - everything in excess; details on the details. Now, Thom Browne stepped away from the garden from time to time with elegant tweeds and silk jacquards. And then the florals returned in high-waisted pants and skirts, jackets and light sweaters.

Designer Jeremy Scott supersized Moschino's Fall ad campaign with 90's supermodels Linda Evangelista, Stella Tennant, Carolyn Murphy, and Karen Elson, including Saskia Debraw and Raquel Zimmermann. With the photographic talents of the legendary Steven Meisel the photos are beyond amazing. I'm obsessed with these images, guess that's kind of the point. Take a look:

No one poses like these ladies! Nor has fast food ever been so chic, or is that cheek?

Channel your Inner Bobber

June 06, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

A “bobber” is a minimalistic-type of bike that has had many parts taken off or shortened, according to Bobber Republic. Like a bobbed hairdo that is cut short, a bobber is a simple and stripped down motorcycle. In most cases, riders make their own modifications to their motorcycles to transform them into bobbers. As Wikipedia notes, this basic style of bike is believed to have been created by American Servicemen who served in World War II and were inspired and intrigued by lighter European bikes.

As bobber bikes enjoy a resurgence in popularity, so too are the fashions and accessories that go along with these simple yet classic motorcycles. The following motorcycle accessories will help you channel your inner bobber: A bobber style helmet.

While bobber riders often want their clothing and helmets to be as basic and minimalistic as their bikes, you still need to make sure you are wearing a proper safety helmet that is DOT approved. A slim and open-face retro helmet will help you achieve the vintage bobber look. The DOT-approved Vega X-380 Old Skool helmet sells for around $59.99 and features the open face look and is available in two sizes.

A vintage looking riding shirt

Riding a bobber is about much more than owning the bike; it’s also about looking the part, too. When you’re cruising down the road on a simplistic and vintage looking motorcycle, a great riding shirt can help you look like you are part of the bobber culture. For example, the Whiteknuckle Riding Shirt is made from premium buffalo leather. With its stainless buttons, two interior gun pockets and full lining, it gives riders that classic bobber look whether you are riding a motorcycle or just out doing errands.

A leather tool pouch that can double as a bag

Yes, it is technically a tool pouch that can be connected to a bobber bike. But a really cool leather pouch functions as a vintage bag that will also store your cell phone, wallet and all of needed accessories with ease and style. Many pouches also feature two buckles to keep everything securely stored inside. Either on or off a bobber, this simple yet classy pouch will bring you back to the vintage biking days.

Vintage looking boots

Bobber riders don’t tend to wear fancy-pants boots; they prefer basic and functional boots that are comfortable and protect the feet. For example, Alpinestars Roam Waterproof boots from the online motorcycle store MotoSport feature Alpinestars’ exclusive Drystar liner, helping riders’ feet stay warm and dry no matter what Mother Nature is dishing out. With their combination of lateral and upper hook and loop straps and black color, these boots look like they were born to be on a bobber.

Rihanna receives the CFDA's Fashion Icon Award in a Naked Dress

June 04, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

Some say she was paying homage to Josephine Baker - I see it. Others claim it was a statement to Instagram who shut down her account because of topless pics. Everyone seems to be in an uproar that Riri showed her titties on the red carpet... Personally, I love the irony that Rihanna accepted the CFDA Fashion Icon award in a nude, sheer dress. She looked stunning and amazing in a gown by Adam Selman. Rihanna shimmered - dripping with 230K Swarovski crystals. Social media did what it does best - it makes judges out of every unqualified idiot out there who knows little to nothing about fashion. Would you rather see Lena Dunham wear this dress? I don't think so! Rihanna is obviously very comfortable with her body. She's young, everything is firm and now is the time to do something like this. Remember JLo's Versace handkerchief dress?? Yep, we still talk about... the same will happen with this moment, brought to you by Rihanna and her nips.
