In this financial turmoil, I am sure everyone are cutting down to their spending on men fashion clothing, so the first and direct impact will be all the big guys on the streets. Some of the stores reported sales was down by 30% as compare to last year, and this even expanded to most of their online stores too, Gucci, Guess, D&G, DKNY you name it.

It does not mean people are cutting down their buying, but just some change of buying habits. SourceWire reported that Men’s discount designer fashion website sees a 20% increase in traffic during this period.

Managing Director of Fashion Hunt, David Card comments on the increase in visitors:

“People are still spending money on the things they want, they are just being a bit more savvy when it comes to where they buy. The Fashion Hut has seen a 20% increase in visitors because people can buy designer fashion very reasonably, shoppers are changing the way they shop and discount stores are benefiting from that.”

Man Fashion Designer: Alexander McQueen Latest Fashion

If you think of any fashion designer in Europe, the first that strike my mind is Alexander McQueen. With his countless provocative shows and outrageous designs, Alexander McQueen has created his style as the "Bad Boy" of fashion. The designer's potent mix of creativity, controversy and technical mastery has earned him three British Designer of the Year awards as well as a faithful celebrity followers such as David Bowie and Prodigy's Keith Flint.

In 1996 he was named the role of chief designer at Givenchy. Feeling creatively stifled by the couture house, whose founder he dismissed as "irrelevant," McQueen left Givenchy in 2000 and has since joined the Gucci group.

Man Fashion: Gucci 8 Limited Edition Beijing Olympic Designs

As we know, the Olympics are being held in Beijing this year. Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini created a line called 8-8-2008. Her eight (totally over-the-top) souvenir items were designed to celebrate this year's events.



Of course, the one that caught my eye was the "China red" cruiser ($3420)! Besides that, the line includes a $3150 Mahjong set, a panda bear stuffed animal, dog tag necklace, two pieces of luggage, a red wrist banded digital watch (the brand's first digital timepiece) , and red suede sneakers for both her and him.

Huang Xiaoming is also the first Asian model for Gucci. He's looking pretty good in the ads, too! But if I had a choice, I'd definitely choose the bike over him.

I did some research and the number "8" means prosperity in Chinese. These items are only sold in Gucci stores in China and Hong Kong.

Man Fashion Show: Gucci SS 09 Review

Typical summer shades seemed far from the minds of numerous designers at the beginning of fashion week.

That was, of course, until Frida Giannini injected some unbridled life into the proceedings.


At Gucci, bold stripes and elaborate florals were found on ultra-slim pants and variegated styles of that true Gucci-jacket which now seems ubiquitous.



Giannini aimed to convey 'youth and luxury' – which also meant soundtracking the show with indie-favorite 'Time to Pretend' by MGMT.

Not only is Giannini reminding us of the archetypal Gucci aesthetic, she is also making clear her distinct lack of vision for the development of this line.
