Balmain - Olivier Rousteing

In 2011 at the age of 24 Olivier Rousteing became the head designer at french fashion house Pierre Balmain. Take a deep breath.. you heard that right. At that same age while most of us will either be stuck with a job we don't like or jobless Olivier is at the helm of one of the worlds most prestigious fashion houses. 





Balmain is a not just a brand, its a lifestyle. The dark colors and bold patterns screams confidence for the individual wearing it. Balmain is one of the rare fashion lines that can seamlessly fuse casual wear and couture and make it look cool and approachable. For the common person into fashion many of the styles in high end wear can seem a bit much and overt. Balmain although can be ambitious also has a simplistic and ready to wear feel.






Sky is the limit for Rousteing. He is in rarefied air being that he is so young given so much power in the fashion world. He has been compared to the likes of a young Marc Jacobs in terms of being a prodigy and there is no sign of falter to come. Balmain rests in the hands of a 26 year old creative genius, expect nothing but quality and youthful innovation for years to come.

The Duffel


Duffel bags are awesome. There is nothing like a good duffel that fits your style to really set off your entire wardrobe. Duffel bags can be cool, stylish and they are a good place to put all of your day to day manly goods. I advise any man who doesn't have a duffel bag to invest in a good one. Here are some of my favorite duffel bags.




Urban Outfitters X Filson Duffel
($158)

This is a good duffel bag and is versatile with any mans style. This duffel comes in a few different colors and is a very durable bag. 


Ralph Lauren Nylon Duffel
($225)

This bag may be a bit pricey for some but its worth its price. This is from a respectable brand that makes durable products, and this bag personifies style and cool.


Calvin Klein Duffel Bag Brown
($80)

This bag is not as pricey as the others but this is a great value bag. If you need a starter bag this is the one. Great bag. Great value


Louis Vuitton Damier Duffel
($1445)

I know you may be thinking this is too much for a bag, but honestly this one of the bags all gentlemen aspire to have. This bag is stylish, cool, luxurious. Everything you could want in a duffel is in this bag. 

That's it guys, I hope this was helpful on your journey to finding a good duffel.

2013: Let Me Upgrade You (Women's Edition)




By. Asia Jones

Whether you’re a Glamorous fashionista or a Bohemian fashionista, we’ve got your guide on how to upgrade your personal style for 2013. The law of fashion is simple—if you look good, you feel good.  A style enhancement just might be exactly what you need to actually accomplish all of your New Year’s Resolutions.

Glam-ista
To all my Glam diva’s: stock up on sequins, metallics and fur. The key in 2013 is to wear them with basics so that you don’t go into a glam overload. Add some spicy pumps and you’ll you the definition of 2013 Glam. Bam!

Rock and Roll-ista
To all my Rock inspired daredevil’s, 2013 is your time to experiment with spikes and studded apparel. Since you’re known for being fearless, you can wear more than one bold piece at a time as long as they’re in good taste. Pair a studded top with ripped jeans or funky tights and killer heels for a Rocker-Chic look. If heels aren’t really your forte, add a pair of combat boots or fly kicks to top of your ensemble.

Tomboy-ista
To all my self proclaimed tomboy’s I’ve got good news for you, sweats are in. 2013 is your year to add some sex appeal to your look while still looking effortless and feel comfortable. Polish off a pair of slouchy harems with a loose fitting tee and a sharp jacket. The key to transforming your outfit into a “look” is to make sure that all of your pieces are tailored to fit your body type. Even though most of your pieces are oversized, they still have to “fit” in order to avoid looking sloppy. The Stylish Tomboy is one of the hardest looks to pull off, but once perfected you have the potential to turn 2013 into your hottest year yet.



Bohemian-ista
To all my Boho chicks, I’ve got one word for you: flow. Flowy dresses, flowy skirts and even flowy pants are going to be your BFF this year. Some key materials to keep and eye out for are lace and bold prints. Finish off your look with an arm party of Boho infused bracelets and headbands to give your style a bit of a Hippie-chic twist.

Women's Fashion: Winter's Hottest Hues


 Oxblood
By: Asia Jones- Le Grand Monde Fashion Writer

Red--The color rubies, fire, and wine. Commonly associated with danger, it takes a confident and daring individual to rock this color. Red was once the boldest and most fierce color of the spectrum, but not this season. Meet Red's hotter and more sophisticated cousin; Oxblood. Although the name sounds a bit Vampish, this deep burgundy tone mixed with shades of chocolate and purple has rapidly taken the fashion world by storm. It can be found in every latest collection so you'll have no problem getting your hands on this bloody wicked hue. Its become a more neutral shade that fairs all tones and styles. My personal favorite items are Oxblood coated leather pants. Whether you choose to wear it as an oversized sweater or on heeled booties, there's no doubt that you'll be safe from the fashion police in this Hot Hue.
