Project Runway All Stars: Just Give Me the Light

So very Storm (nerd alert) meets Silver Surfer (ooh), my only question is which unnamed artist that Pharell "works with' will be sporting this look? Hmm, Kelis? 

AUSTIN

MONDO

Just one of many Mortal Kombat messes

Very astute assessment Pharell. And I thought you were just gonna be eye candy

Purr in your Tims and your lady cardigan. 

Man, as the competition winds down, the tempest between our two designer sprites is really heating up

Mondo even got his s**t talk on about Austin this week!

But that didn't help his score as Austin takes the lead this week with

AUSTIN        5

MONDO       4

While You Were Out...

Enjoying the preview Spring weather, Mr. Porter, the men's version of Net-A-Porter quietly opened for business to its "Founding Members" today

The store doesn't go "live" to the general public until Tuesday. I just took a stroll and the sneak peek is full of goodies

I fell in love with this Viktor and Rolf sweater when I saw it on the Spring 2011 Menswear runway

A tiny galaxy of stars covers this Paul Smith wonder

Lanvin's got my number with a silk carnation boutonnière pin. Need!

But what I love about Mr. Porter more than anything is all the editorial. It's overflowing with facts, tidbits and take away

Style guides including tips for a man's wardrobe and everyday dressing and timeless style icons like Marcello Mastroianni, Mick Jagger, Steve McQueen, Cristobal Balenciaga amongst others

Plus Esquire in its swinging 60's heyday like tips for being a Modern Man

There's even a whole style dictionary

(I didn't know this type of shoe is called a "Monk Strap")

And a pretty smart Q+A style advice from an assortment of fashionable fellas like Jefferson Hack, Pharrell, T Magazine Fashion Director, Bruce Pask, InStyle Editor, Ariel Foxman, etc.

With many more designers "coming soon" including Junya Watanabe, Band of Outsiders and Raf Simons, the future looks very bright indeed for Mr. Porter. I'm glad I could be here for the founding.
