High Street Fashion, Spring 2011

As a fashion-conscious, but broke student, I am of course a big fan of high street fashion. It's too bad that H&M, Topshop, and Zara are no where to be found anywhere near Louisiana. Rumor has it that H&M is finally gonna do the online thang, but until then all I can do is scour the internet for Spring Lookbooks.

Here are a few of my faves from the Zara Spring 2011 Lookbook, women's collection, obviously. I am a BIG fan of their upcoming collection, with all the bright colored pieces. However, in my typical fashion, I think my favorite clothing item is the boring and practical creased linen capri.

This is an H&M preview for Spring 2011, Men's. Part of me is solely infatuated with the model, as usual, but I tried to pick out looks that are channeling the upcoming trends of spring. I mean, there are only so many things you can do with men's fashion before it gets feminine, but its still nice to look at something other than the clothing-indifferent male youth waltzing around campus.

Real Men Wear SPANX

Real men with real beer guts, anyway. At first I LOLed when I heard there was SPANX for men, imagining a groin hugging underwear that sucked in the gut and firmed the thighs, not unlike the girly spanx that are so popular. However, the PR reps at spanx probs realized that would not fly with manly men everywhere. So it's actually just undershirts that make all the fatty meat products, beer, and corn chips look like a 6-pack. It helps that the shirts are on already fit and good-looking male models...


Kind of steep at $58 for an undershirt, but if you're a single and desperate (slightly overweight) guy, 58 buckaroos ain't bad.

I Like Menswear More than Women's

Because the models are hot. Spring 2011 Menswear shows... Sometimes I wish I were a guy, life would be so easy. Being a well dressed man is so much easier than being a well dressed woman.


Bottega Venetta -----------D&G

The models at Junya Watanabe were particularly UNattractive... I mean, I know they were going for a certain look, but these models are surriously gross (maybe its really intense hair and make up... or maybe you can be completely fugly and still be a model, I don't know).

Hottest Front Row Ever

I've never seen so mant perfect jawlines and well-fitted suits in one place.

Who care's about women's fashion, all the action is at the menswear shows.
