These Are A Few Of My Favorite Blogs


Not dressed to impress.

Confession time: I rarely read other music blogs, but I am fast becoming a fashion blog addict.

In my opinion the most interesting ones cover (primarily) men's fashion/style and are published by men. Some of the bloggers prefer staying behind the camera, photographing pro models or aiming their lens at stylish people on the street, others also step in front of the camera and show their dapper day/night outfits, thereby practicing what they preach. My favorites, in random order:

Karl-Edwin Guerre is based in New York City.

www.streetetiquette.com
Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs are also based in NYC.

www.jakandjil.com
Tommy Ton is from Toronto but spends most of his time on road covering all the major fashion shows.

The exhuberant video featuring male models on and off the runway at the recent shows in Milan and Paris was directed by Paris based photographer/film maker Justin Wu and made in collaboration with Tommy Ton.

Song: "Bohemian Like You" by The Dandy Warhols.
