Snoopy has been a constant companion with all of us since his birth many decades ago. Believe it or not, but the naughty pooch will be turning 60 next year. And typical to his character, he will do so with a lot of panache and glam. And helping him do that are global fashion brands like Chanel, Hermes, Balenciaga DVF, Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Chloé. These were the paticipating members of the Japan Fashion Week which rand in Tokyo Midtown in the month of October. The event which was co-sponsored by the Design Association NPO, United Media, K.K. garnered a lot of interest.

Well, Snoopy was an integral part of the exhibition (and we are not surprised to learn that) and so the designer brands thought he deserved a special treat.
By the way, Snoopy is a huge hit in the one of the fashion districts of the world (of course, we mean Tokyo). In fact, 2004 had a grand Snoopy Fahsion Show in Japan that had the cartoon wearing Chanel and others. So, we just though of preparing you for the grand birthday party next year!

It’s always hard saying ‘no’ to a Hermes bag. In fact, come to think of it, all those who can afford to own one might never have uttered the negative word at the Hermes store.  After all, isn’t each of its handbag as delectable as the last one! The most recent stealer of the fashionable heart is the bright and spunky Evelyn Bag. This one comes from the fashion house in a vivacious shade of orange to brighten up the cold, wintry days.

The best in taurillon clemence leather has been used to craft this fashion accessory. A perfect companion for your daily pursuits, this one measures up to 11 1/4″ x 12″ x 2 1/2″.
Since the color is is loud enough to absorb all the attention, the maker has ensured that it stays so. As a result, silver and palladium hardware have been used to accessorise the Evelyn Bag. It has a leather tab closure reminding us of the desert fashion of yore. The front face of the bag bears the signature ‘H’ in lively dots enclosed in a circle made from the same. A very yourthful choice, go for it with $2,450 in your old Hermes purse.

The men love Duncan Quinn, in a totally not-so-gay manner. Well, the New York based menswear designer brand has indeed introduced the tough sex to a more fun and metrosexual way of dressing. After all, wasn’t the Savile Row with a slight twist togs a better choice for Sean Combs and alternate rockers Green Day, just to name a few! And now, DQ is quite proud to launch its new line of silk ties with stylish gangster motifs to offer a great completion to the winter fashion sense in men.

The picture above shows some ties that draw inspiration from Russian prison tattoos. Aren’t you reminded of Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises? Well, we are. Each of these ties have been made from 100% pure handwoven silk made in England. The cutting, stitching and finishing is progressed by hand (again) in New York City.
A little birdie tells us that a lot of Quinn’s designs are dedicated to the criminal fraternity after all hasn’t world recognised them as sharp dressers. If Michael Caine is anyone to go by, we mean!

Next time you spot one of the hottest eye candies around climbing out of that extremely hot Ferrari, we suggest you’d take a look at what his feet are wearing. You bet on it, it will be Tod’s. The Italian shoemakers friendship with the exotic car brand goes way back. So much so that the two are almost synonymous to each other. Now, that could be a possible consequence of the fact that Ferrari’s chairman sits on the board of Tod’s. We are not sure. It’s just speculation.

The companies’ reps tell us that the two kindred spirits have joined hands to create an exclusive line of driving mocassins that car enthusiasts will have a hard time resisting. The Tod’s for Ferrari line consists of three models that go by the names – the Lecetto with laces, Lacetto Tubi GT with tassels and the Mascherina  Griglia with a grille of the iconic 250 GTO emblem. The first one comes in colors red and blue while the latter two stick to black and brown suede.
Each pair has insoles ribbed like the seats of a Ferrari sportscar. Trust us, Tod’s has again been loyal to the playboy’s loafers style. The shoes sell for anywhere between 290 and 320 Euros.

We love the ‘Fergilicious’ number. Sung by none other than Fergie herself this one has her talking about how men trying to woo her with expensive gifts from Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi….and so on. You must be wondering as to what made us think of this song all over ahain. Well, it was the sight of the Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag from Dolce & Gabana!

One look at this ultra chic fashion accessory, and every woman would dream of a man to woo her with this little object of desire. Reason? For starters, this purse makes use of a whole range of animal prints in a very fun and fashionable way. And some of these prints are actually pony hair coming from Italy and New Zealand.

Military inspired fashion has always dominated the fashion ramps all over the world. Menswear has been dominated by fatigues and khakis, jackets that come in camouflage designs and the like. Now, the ffw Mag! from Brazil has done a cover story about military menswear. They are one of the most respected Brazilian magazines specializing in fashion related news and articles and Made in Brazil has more information on that.

This issue’s story dwells on the eroticism that is present in military life and amongst the soldiers themselves. The military menswear story was inspired by Butt & Kaiserin, and the photographer Gui Paganini has done a great job in driving people to grab those military inspired jackets the moment they see the pictures. In fact, army has influenced fashion so much and it could be because of the ongoing wars all around the world.

The photographer has tried to cajole most men to try military fashion and almost get them addicted to military fetishes. Many haute couture labels like Versace, Dolce & Gabanna, DKNY and others have concentrated on military menswear and it is a great thing indeed. As they say, a man in uniform is always more attractive than the rest of them. So go ahead and visit the nearest haute couture department store and grab some hot military inspired cloths.

The holiday season is almost here. One month is just enough time to equip yourself with good presents for both oneself and those near and dear around. And you will agree when we say that Christmas and New Year deserve you stepping up in the style quotient too. Nothing is too blingy or snazzy for the festive mood. In fact, the more larger than life, the better it is. Take the Mirror Mosaic Strappy Sandals for instance. These come from the fashion house of Thakoon and promise to bring a much needed zing to your Christmas or New Year outfit.

OK, they are over the top but definitely in a good way. These dazzling pair of footsies flaunt silver mirrored leather with brick-efect paneling. The black suede trim gives a very clean finish. Even the cutout effect along with the angled peep toe opening lend their own magic to the whole affair. Your feet will sure be pampered!

The heel is high at 4.5 inches but then we have been telling you about ’stepping up’ a bit and now you can literally do so. The price tag is a tad high at $1,150 but this is one festive season shopping you will never regret.

If you want something bright and fiery in your closet, go for the Lauren Merkin Lotte Feather Print Clutch, and trust us you will never go wrong with your fashion. This one is spunky and feathery (in fact, it might even remind you of a peacock) without the extra maintenance fuss involved. A real glam of a piece, this purse comes with a very genius of  coloring. It is both pretty and exquisite.

The silk print saves it from the ‘cheap’ look that is the trouble with most fakes. And it is just the same reason, this amazingly stylish and practical fashion accessory works very well with its classy-ness. Kudos to Lauren Merkin for this little wonder. The careful splash of colors makes it a great companion with a whole lot of hues.

The dimensions of the clutch are 6″ H x 11 1/2″ W, which is a rather comfortable size when going for a formal evening. The teal works very well with the dark emsemble. There is a snap flap to secure the things within. Use it for a contrast and blow every one away with your different fashion sense.
