Something magical happened at Dolce a couple of days ago, which in my opinion, neatly summed up the overriding message of the last couple of weeks pre-Paris.

The show opened with a video, showing Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in their studio, tailoring and nitpicking at the garments that they would later send down the runway. Then, in a fitting display of the proud heritage that’s been lost amid the whirlwind of everything, the workers behind the label, who create samples and refine the designers vision for the world came into view. It pulled at your heartstrings, demanded respect, and accustomed the eye to the workmanship of the tailored jackets, crocheting, knitting, lacework, and embellishments that the Dolce & Gabbana customer so craves.

That being said, it was a glorious procession; real, substantial, not actually Italian women, complete with curves in all the right places, mile-long legs, and enough money to pay the maids in their vacation home in Lake Como. All the trends were there, from the impeccable tailoring, to the accentuated legs, to the raw sex appeal of black lace, to the animal prints that make the women we love fierce.

For me, there’s something special about that woman. The woman who smokes a cigar for breakfast and drinks before noon beside the pool, until she’s 85. That’s gangster, yo.

Hit the jump for a couple of extra-smoldering looks.

Whoever said ‘it’s good to leave something to the imagination’?!?

One of my biggest summertime dilemmas is to bring, or not to bring a hoodie? That, is the question! Not sure how it is in your neck of the woods, but around these parts, winter usually goes right into summer; so the amount of time that is allocated for the hoodie to be the main outerwear garment is minimal. I often find myself wearing a hoodie on a cool summer’s day, only to be forced to remove it (forcefully) when global warming rears its ugly head. Johannes Faktotum to the rescue! Her netted hoodie is perfect for those summer days when it’s hot as sh*t and you’re feeling confident…you know, ‘cuz there are worse things in the world than having one nipple at 3 o’clock and the other at 6.

This piece is from the Johannes Faktotum Spring/Summer 2010 collection. It is inspired by athletic mesh uniforms and works great as a layering piece or on its own.

Pick it up at Not Just a Label for $378.00. At that price, this hoodie will make what’s in your wallet appear the same as your hoodie: practically non-existant.

In this case, “unique” is an understatement. That’s right boys, for all of you who have been jealously glaring at all the fabulous onesies that have made their way into women’s fashion, your prayers have been answered.  And you know how they say: “be careful what you wish for”? Well you never, ever should have wished for a garment that would allow you to watch the entire 2-weeks of Olympics sports without ever having to get up to take a leak and/or dump, because for once God was listening…and rather than grant your lottery wishes, he opted to present you with a plush portable potty, congrats!

The Oversized Silver/Black Knitwear is a unique piece. A sophisticated Jacquard technique has been applied and combined with black wool yarn and silver/transparent yarn in order to create this one of a kind statement piece. This investment piece is made for people who appreciate and support young innovative designs.

At a measely $ 7,472.00 consider it a bargain! Just think of how much money you’ll save on gas…because no one wants to hangout with a dude in a onesie! On the other hand, those Jeremy Scott kicks, are still cool. See them in more detail here.

If you were worrying yourself to sleep about how Kanye was going to post his rants on his new websites then worry no more! The first speech to the reader has been posted. I’ve read it all and quite frankly it was a pain to do so. Not because of Kanye’s words, but his choice of type. The all caps on his old site was extremely illegible to begin with before, but this has just made it worst.

The only reason I see why he’d do this is so that people wouldn’t be able to copy paste his texts anymore I guess? And I mean this typeface does look better in uppercase in comparison to the other one, but had it been smaller it would’ve been much better. Besides its a type for display… not sustained reading. Check it out for yourself here. You might want to zoom out to read it… if you don’t know how to do that… Hold CTRL on your keyboard and scroll out!

Is that a cat in the hat you ask? Why no, it’s a Chesire Cap of course. New Era is definitely running out of ideas of things to toss on their caps. Why not throw a guy in an elephant hoodie on for a change and send it over here at 7 1/4? This cap is nice, but it’s not really something I’d see anybody wearing. For one I don’t think anybody here feels like repping wonderland and second we’ve all seen what the chesire cat can do with its head!

The cap is available here for 35.99 $ USD.

That was a fun day, I know because I was there. See the proof pic? No photoshop… (it’s all illustrator)

I don’t know who the guy next to Maestro is honestly, but I have to say that they’re both wearing really nice hoodies. Maestro’s hoodie was done by the guy on the right. The hoodie says on it: “Whether we comprehend it or not, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it’s for a larger purpose than just your mind to understand”.

If you haven’t seen his new website yet, check it out. I find it a bit confusing to navigate, but it does look very nice; avant-gardiste. Eventually all blogs will have some unique format for you to decode and it’ll become standard and easily to navigate through.

Check out the rest of the pics here.

I’ve always found Rocksmith had some nice things to offer, kind of like when I come over and your mom offers me coffee, a drink, then your bed (someone’s not sleeping well tonight). Rocksmith’s Wingman hoodie isn’t really something I’d buy in normal terms, but if I saw it on a nice rack, the sales rack that is, I just might get it.

Fortunately, for 40 bucks, it’s a pretty good deal. The different colored sleeve is a unique, I like. No idea what the 808 stands for… 808 & Heartbreaks? Maybe that’s why the hoodie is named the wingman… it’s the hoodie for the guy that always gets the fat chick. Damn it Ahoodie, why do you always get the good ones?

The hoodie is available on Karmaloop for 44.95 $ USD.

I can never be disappointed in Prada. Consistently, Miuccia’s touch of rebel subverts everything within sight, from converting swamp-man waders into thigh-high rubber boots (from Fall 2009), to using old lady black lace in a darkly sexy way (from Fall 2008). Spring doesn’t disappoint, replete with visual eyegasms and boatloads of contradiction.

We can start with their newest advertising video, featuring Rasa Zukauskaite and directed by Steven Meisel. Mashing three wildly different pieces of music together, much like the density of those rocks on clear plastic handbags, makes for an interesting bit of advertising. There’s also, if you watch closely, a strong contrast between the fragility of a crystal dress over denser fabrics.

Then there’s that absolutely (forgive the cliché) fierce lookbook, which masterfully explodes that already slightly macabre Japanese beach into manipulations of perception, that play with the mind’s eye, as well as the pair at the front of your skull.

Isn’t it just fun to poke at the leading computer software? I want my windows to have just Ahoodie on it. Like all the default wallpapers should be ours and folders of hot babes should be in the my pictures folder. Seriously though… who wants pictures of flowers?
