Men With Class


MenWith or MenWithClass is a social utility that started in 2012 as social media platform that highlights men’s wear style and fashion. The team with expertise made a focused effort to define style by perspective and not price point; the company’s significant digital growth on Instagram has given rise to the MenWith web platform, translating the MenWith social presence into a social utility ecosystem of the combined force of business, fashion and social media.

 If somehow you have been living somewhere rather than Instagram (unlike most of us) you can purchase the featured styles and so much more services they offer at their webpage platform, and join the rest of the masses. Now all my ladies know we love a man who looks good and that takes the time to look, so for all the trending men’s fashion, this is the place to be.

Concept to Collection

Being able to put the creative process of fashion design is the most important and yet the most missed part in creating a fashion collection. Creative’s get lost in the visual and technical, the sketching, fabric sourcing and sewing, that it is difficult to put their amazing idea to words, here is what we call the Concept to Collection like how I do it tumblr style.

From idea to realization the concept to collection process is constructive giving the fashion enthusiast, the ability to present his/her idea to create a steady portfolio which can be used for business approaches, creative scrap booking or selling to the consumer. I take two of my favorite street wear designers Tiny Mpolokeng for menswear (Tiny Stitches Brand) and June Burger women`s wear to show the entire process.

Street style trends 2015/16

Hello dear friends once again. I know it has being very long ever since and it’s unfair to all of you but hey when the hustle is real it’s real but anyway. In my ventures finishing my fashion course iv been hooked into the study of street style and where it  originated, in that iv picked up a couple of trends for spring summer that I’d like to share with you tumblr style J..

Cool-chella chics
Inspired by the biggest international  urban music festival Coachella, this 90’s look is taken to the future with fringing and tassels seen everywhere and in massive volumes, the more fringes the more street creed
Full Fuller Fullest
Mid length fully gathered or pleated or circular skirts are the go to for the street style fashion follower. In wide variety of colour, construction and fabric the over sized the better


denim deluxe
Urban, chic and simple is the order of the denim deluxe trend, the street savvy consumers are paring their denim pieces in creative and interesting ways like neon colours, funky accessories and sporty versus formal looks.


Bare it all..!
This spring consumers are able to revel their sensual expression and bare the heat with this bare it with trend. The mass acceptance of covering the parts that matter has had a huge impact and has been seen through magazines and media all over

 
 Palazzo 
Palazzo pants are the most simple and comfortable key trend this spring summer, make them stand out by choosing the trending colour and prints, choose an excited construction like gathered waist or pleated all over and walk the streets in pure fashion harmony

2015 Trend Alert...Skirt layering

Hello there!! I know I've been naughty and haven’t posted in such a long time, it’s been hectic. How is the new year so far, gosh it came so quickly and we`re almost half way through, hope it has been good. Throughout the months IV viewed a trend element so cool that I had to blog about it. In this post we will call it laid in layering as a theme I gave it myself, but in popular fashion terms gatekeepers of fashion named it skirt layering as a 2015/2016 trend...here we go 

The garments and ensembles are uninstructed and radical, fashion has gone experimental and the consumers are in revolt. Laid in Layering is a trend element identified in the 2015 2016 fashion trends. The look has a 90`s grunge influence with different style components which combined together will give a mood of youthfulness, rebellion and a carefree spirit. There are plenty lifestyle messages that this trend provides as there are many style elements combined but all have a core concept, escapism and breaking free from the norms of responsibility and the demanding needs of our everyday activities. below is inspiration taken and seen from designers, the streets and from inspirational bloggers...
