Male-nistas-Men's wear never really inspires or interests me. Maybe it’s because I don’t wear it or maybe it’s because men look good in dull but classic apparel. I always felt bad for them, since it seems like girls have this secret world of fashion with endless garment choices. One of my male friends has a wardrobe solely comprised of a black, gray and white colour palette, which looks fantastic and very minimalistic. He would, as well as most men, never dream of wearing the latest European trends, such as Prada’s Fall ’08 masculine tutu over pants look. However many less exaggerated versions of European styles usually do become fashionable in North America after a few years. Trendsetting men are a rare find, especially one who can pull it off. The male tutu makes it debut in Prada's Fall 2008 runway show. Speaking of trendy- Since Sex and the City has ended their reign as most stylist television show, now another contender needs to fill Carrie Bradshaw’s shoes. There is a need on television for visual fashion guidance that confirms 'what needs to be worn now' on a weekly basis. I vote for another NYC based show- Gossip Girl. It is the most fashion-forward show thanks to the fabulous wardrobe department and designer Abigial Lorick (who is behind the look of Eleanor Waldorf's designs.) Everyone’s favourite Upper East Siders return with their second season on September 1st.
Returning back to menswear- One male-nista has caught my eye in the form of fictional character Chuck Bass played by Ed Westwick. The loveable scoundrel of GG has featured some daring looks over the first season such as trench coats, neon/bright colours, bow ties and that unforgettable shark cardigan (very risqué.) He is a excellent example of a trendsetting male.
