PICK OF THE WEEK

This week's pick comes from interior designer and artist, Nazar Sigaher. This wall-mounted clock called "Frame," features identical, framed, minute and hour hands that change the form of the clock as time ticks away.
According to the designer, "Such constant change of form created by moving hour and minute hands give this clock a peculiarity that identifies with the concept of time."

It's a cool concept and design to add to someone's home or office, if you ask us.

TREND REPORT: THE CANADIAN TUXEDO

The Canadian Tuxedo, a head-to-toe denim look, is one of the great gifts from the wonderful north, along with hockey and maple syrup. It originally served as functional work wear for the men of Canada's west, and now, like it or not, it can be seen on the streets of major cities the world over.
Since the days of Britney and Justin, the all-denim ensemble has made it's way back into the forefront of street style, albeit less glamourous now, than when it was worn by the famous couple. There are many ways to achieve this look without looking like a Canadian lumberjack (unless that's what you're going for) which is why it's such a good trend—it's versatile.

Typically, the rule is not to try and match the colours of a denim shirt and pants, however, if you want to wear a matching top and bottom combo, a more slim, tailored silhouette like the one photographed above in the far right, is probably the best way to go. Otherwise, the rules are fairly simple: casual or tailored, keep it monochromatic, and keep it denim!

LOOK OF THE DAY

We're usually big fans of adding color and pattern to a man's wardrobe. Today, however, we thought we'd feature a simple look that still stands out despite being black and white, because simple doesn't have to mean boring.
We think the trick with a black and white outfit like this one, is to add interest with either texture or pattern. Here, we've purposely combined two different polka dot patterns with the shirt and tie to create an interesting contrast.

PICK OF THE WEEK: THE MEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE


Spanish photographer, Jon Uriarte, recently published a photo series called, Men under the influence.
It showcases men wearing their girlfriend's clothing, to convey the idea of how "men's sense of loss reference, now that women have taken a step forward and have finally come into their own as equal partners."
When we saw it, we thought that it was an interesting concept, and so naturally, we had to share it with all of you. What are your thoughts on the idea?

STREET STYLE, ON THE MOVE

Via jakandjil.com
On one of our most recent trips perusing through our various, favourtie fashion blogs, we noticed something a little bit different with the usual street style photos we were used to seeing—because now they were moving. 
 We wonder if the moving street style shot is going to be the next big thing in fashion blogging, or if singular photos, capturing one frame of a moment is still the way to go? What do you think?

Whether it's a passing trend, or a soon-to-be fashion blogging staple, we think it's pretty cool, so we certainly wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of this type of shooting here and there.
