New: This Week in Men’s Fashion: June 24 - 30, 2007

Due to a massive power outage in my building I was unable to access the internet. After going through the five stages of grieving (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) I decided not to stare at my blank computer screen and went out to enjoy the Canada Day atmosphere and celebrations across the city. Canadians and Americans, please enjoy your festivities.

And now on to fashion. As always, if you have your ear to the ground and stumble across a really great designer please send me an IM. Please note that for the month of July I’m taking a break from this weekly column.

Casa Del Shai. A follow up to the suave elegance of last week’s Barong Tagalogs with a westernized twist in the Amorsolo and Luna suits. The traditional Filipino shirts have been paired with a suit jacket that has been embroidered/screen printed on the back panel and a crisp pair of matching slacks. The ensemble sells @ 600L and can be purchased in Deco (112, 150, 30).

Sale @ Indie. Don’t forget to check out Indie Rainbow’s stores in Louise and Sede di Marte before July 5th and take advantage of the liquidation sale on his hand drawn goodies for men and women. Once the sale is over his current collection will be retired.

VR Phlux. Another addition to the swing collection. “Harris” is a sharp tweed suit with shirt and tie, vest with pocket watch detail layer, jacket layer and belted “Hollywood” slacks. The suit sells for 300L at phlux (169, 163, 35).

New: Revelation Backyard by Noaru Semyorka

Jeans. Denims. Dungarees. Whatever you call them, everyone has a pair or two hung up in their closet, folded in their drawer or slung across a chair (maybe even dashed carelessly on the floor). They’re an essential item for the young or old since they’re one of the most versatile, functional and gender friendly articles of clothing ever made. Every type of clothing item and accessory has been presented in denim. Bags, dresses, jackets, overalls, shirts, shorts, skirts and more have all made appearances in the classic blue as well as every alternative wash and tint currently available to mankind. The basic necessity of jeans, their diversity and relatability has motivated many clothing designers in the first and the second life to try their hand at creating denims with a public appeal. It’s understandable. The possibilities are seemingly endless. Lowrise, ultra-lowrise, bootcut, boycut, waistcut, flared leg, straight leg, wide leg, skinny, baggy. The list goes on.

New designer Noaru Semyorka throws his hat into the ring with three sets of distressed denims that consumers can buy in several washes. Says the designer, “SL Fashion is constantly on the move, with new ideas and fresh designs almost every day … People keep inspiring each other and I really like that, even if there was something already made before ‘usually’ every designer’s version is different with a unique approach to it”.
