About Face / Lone Wolf issue 9

I recently started contributing to Lone Wolf magazine, an independent womenswear publication based in Canada but distributed globally.  Above is an article I wrote on the proliferation of faces seen on the SS14 runways from Prada to Giles to JCDC.  Enjoy!

milan mens FW12 shoes

Images of FW12 menswear from Milan Fashion Week are pouring in from all over the internet and I for one am chomping at the bit waiting for the day when I get to see some of these designs up close and personal. Good accessories can make or break a show and two collections whose footwear not to mention hosiery stood out for FW12 were that of DOLCE & GABBANA (above) and PRADA.

There was a lot of variety in the footwear presented at DOLCE & GABBANA this season, from studs to suede to ornate slippers.  The embroidered socks are my personal favorite and I can totally envision a DIY project inspired by these in the future.

PRADA FW12 had a very militaristic, super-villain vibe going on in the clothing and was styled with some very quirky shoes.  I love the lace-ups with the contrasting rubber, almost like those slip on covers your grandfather wore in the spring so his good leather shoes didn't get ruined in the mud & rain.  And the floral leather details really drew your attention, especially when worn with the calf high patterned socks.
