More Men's Fashion! Hott-Hott!!! LOUIS VUITTON and More...

Good morning, I just wanted to post some more pictures extending from yesterday, from when I posted that Giorgio Armani runway video. Just check out more from the 2011 Paris Fashion week.

LOUIS VUITTON FALL/WINTER 2011-2012

Yes, MAN-BAGS are still in... just can't be too lady-like looking.....

Thierry Mugler Fall/Winter 2011-2012

Again, the whole look for the fall and winter season is muted, sophisicated, NOTICEABLE, but never over-the-top.

New LOUIS VUITTON Acapulco Sneakers

These revised 2011 Louis Vuitton Acapulco sneakers got mixed reviews; some people said 'yea' and some people said 'nay'. But for me, EVERYTHING that I picked, whether a collection may be good or bad, I always pick out the best of it. You'll like it. TRUST ME. Oh nah, nah, What's my name? JAIDEN.

Yesss... You're welcome. *LoL*

'Showin' Off The Shoes' by Kdia

Don't any of you do that sometimes, take pictures of your brand new shoes, then post them on Facebook or Twitter? Well that's what Kdia (still trying to figure out what it is she does but I hear that she's in music and she's a CHANEL FREAK) posted of her NEVER-WORN Louis Vuitton boat shoes that came out a few seasons ago and it was created by a collaboration with Kanye West. Check out all the collabos in the pics below.

T.I. In Louis Vuitton Sunglasses Before Heading To Prison



T.I. is once again in prison (I really hope that he comes to grips with this whole prison thing and straightens up), but hey, the so-called "King of the South" doesn't head there in rags. T.I. filmed several music videos for his album, and in a few of those videos, he was wearing Louis Vuitton Possession Pilote Sunglasses ($560) in black. You like?? Of course you must; these are hott!

T.I., please don't go back to prison ever again. You have money, a family, and more important things in life to focus on than smoking weed. Show an example!!



This goes great with anything from casual to an 'after-5' look... 

KANYE To Release Fragrance/Collaboration With LANVIN

Quick and brief news: I was browsing the Internet and I came across this news source about Kanye West releasing his own fragrance, "so you can smell like him."

Makes you wonder what he smells like. THE OLD SPICE MAN?? I don't know, but anyway...

When I look at all of these celebrities releasing their fragrances, I wonder if they smell exactly like their fragrance (it's not a dumb thought; just plain curiosity) because some of the scents that I have smelled... stinks.

Kanye is presently working with Parlux Fragrances, a limited but renowned fragrance company which makes colognes and perfumes for many celebrities of late. He is also working with LANVIN for a high-end collaboration, which I'm sure will be really nice because West has revitalized the traditional Louis Vuitton with his sneakers, T-shirt, and bag collections (see pic below) .

Wow, seems like Kanye is steadily becoming that "artist," not just of music, but bringing arts and fashion to the masses..

NELLY Keeps It Classy With Louis Vuitton

Hello everyone, I caught Nelly on a fashion website with this really smooth, cool gear.

You know, you would think that most or all rappers like to wear baggy jeans, tall tees (LOL remember those?? They ain't fashion no more; it's just for BASKETBALL or lounging), and just whatever thug look.

Nelly has a great, BOSS look (i.e. "BOSS" means no need to overdo a look with gobs of jewelry and other flashy accessories) wearing almost all LOUIS VUITTON accessories.

Let's go over what he was wearing. A leather panel cardigan, denim jeans, Louis Vuitton damier canvas belt ($420) and Louis Vuitton Discovery Ankle Boots ($990).

Nelly has really evolved in his looks from the past that were, of course, rapper-like. He has lately taken on a more relaxed, mature look that takes him to a whole 'nother level beyond just the music and shows off more his true talent as businessman than rapper.

An expensive look without the gaudiness. 'LESS IS MORE' is key, people!!!

...And Finally A "W" for Omarion

In recent weeks, former B2K singer Omarion has been struggling in his direction of style. His choice of picking out certain items weren't too shabby, but when they came together as an outfit, it led to my "FASH, CRASH, AND BURN" posts-- TWICE.

I found Omarion today on Upscale Hype. Yay for Omarion because this outfit works a whole lot better than his other ones that have this kind of Kanye vibe to it. It doesn't look good on EVERYBODY; just Kanye and a select few. However, I'm borderline about the Louis Vuitton monogram mink scarf ($2,260). The scarf is fine to me; it's just the placement of it across his chest. Maybe it could look better as an unexpected play...on the waist.

Placing the fur scarf around the waist in place of a belt is very different but will bring much more attention to the subtlety of the gray blazer and black bowtie, while still showing off a "playful" and European side. Also, the fur scarf being placed around Omarion's waist will resonate an opera kind of vibe, like those orchestra musicians who wear those belt-thingies around their waist.

Sidebar: Another idea in using the mink scarf, but in a very stately manner rather than "playful," would be to simply take the full length of the scarf and drape it over the left shoulder; he would definitely look like he belongs in the royal court.

It (scarf on a man's waist) might look strange, but it'll get easy on the eyes. Fashion is all about adapting and trying new methods to otherwise simple materials.

OMG, this right here... is just my style. Dawg, this is spot-on, laid-back BOSS style. L.A. Dodgers' Matt Kemp was in Paris wearing '2 FINE 'Ls' : Louis Vuitton and Lanvin.

Both the hat and the glasses (Beanie Cap/ Attitude Sunglasses) are by Louis Vuitton, $465 and $530, and the hightops by LANVIN, $760. You can kinda tell that I'm a big fan of LANVIN; I talk about it often. I'll get some of that one day; I'm not in a hurry.

In the meantime, DUDE, check the Matt Kemp photo and then check my 'AFFORDABLE' fashion picks where you don't have to break the bank to get the gear, but still look cool. 'K Detroit?
