Seeing Red
April 3rd, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Spring 2011 is the time for men to shake up their color pallet. If your wardrobe is full of neutral beige or brown, flat black, or dependable navy blue, then perhaps it’s time to add a splash of color.
The color red was spotted on several Men’s 2011 Spring runways and fashion experts have deemed it the “must have” accent color. While red is often considered a “power color” for women, on men it’s considered playful and shows a sense of updated style.
Perry Ellis runway
There are several shades to choose from, so if fire engine red feels like too bold a statement, then consider watermelon or red sorbet, which are softer.
Blue Willi's Red Cotton Tee
The idea is not to dress head to toe in such an eye-catching color, but to add a single piece to an outfit that makes a statement. Pair a red polo, sport shirt or blazer to a coordinating neutral pant.
Merola Watermelon Polo Shirt
If adding vibrants into your wardrobe is new, then work your way into a comfort zone with color and start with a bright belt.
Are you ready to try red?

Karl Lagerfeld Takes the House of Chanel in a New Direction
March 14th, 2011 § 1 Comment
"In the beginning, I wanted to be an illustrator, a painter. I really did not know what I could do. Fashion had always interested me even before I knew it was called fashion. I loved the costumes of figures in paintings and around me."
Karl Lagerfeld’s vision for the Chanel autumn/winter 2011 ready-to-wear collection features black, black and more black, sprinkled with luxurious silvery gray fabrics. “We needed a return to purity after this onslaught of color,” explained the noted designer. “It’s very chic, all of this black.”
Models took to a runway surround by a smoldering volcanic landscape to show off the new collection. 
The classic “hounds tooth” pattern makes an appearance on several jackets and capes in comfortable and forgiving heavy knit fabrics. 
Tuesday’s collection featured a loose interpretation of Chanel’s standard flared jacket, which is now roomier and slanted down the front. 
Chunkier tops are paired with pencil thin pants and heavy ankle boots.
Women’s pant suits take on a life of their own in stunning silvery cloth with rolled hems in contrasting black.
Is Lagerfeld paying homage to Chanel with hints of the classic style or will this be too big a departure from those who know and love the brand?
Classic

“The word classic means something that is a perfect example of a particular style, something of lasting worth or with a timeless quality. The word can be an adjective (a classic car) or a noun (a classic of English literature). It denotes a particular quality in art, architecture, literature and other cultural artifacts. In commerce, products are named ‘classic’ to denote a long standing popular version or model, to distinguish it from a newer variety.
Since 1990 Tuttle has been committed to bringing you the very best of classic clothing from the finest clothiers and haberdasheries around the world.
