When you get away from classic suits & sports clothes, I find myself working with aesthetics I neither understand or agree with. But...the world's a changin' especially in menswear. And everyone looks towards rock stars and rappers for the hottest fashion trends. april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-27930007900167914662015-07-03T20:04:14.267-04:002015-07-03T20:04:14.267-04:00Hi April_n_Paris!

And the Dessin Anime look. - very sharp ;-)<br /><br />I don't like the "ripped jeans" look either. Or the scoop neck pullovers some of the young singers have worn. But the bright colors look cheery.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-12860024579213134672015-07-01T19:09:54.717-04:002015-07-01T19:09:54.717-04:00Thank you Linda.

On the other hand, perhaps one piece of the look (a jacket, for example) or a shirt worn with jeans or a pair of shorts is the way to go. While I was in Paris, I did see young men in bright red jeans!<br />I saw that you had stopped by the dolls' blog, but I didn't see your comment. Thank you taking a peak. Yes, my dolls have minds of their own. We'll see how well they'll pull off their "World Fashion Doll Day" event in a year's time!! ;-) Big hugs.april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-6512393065931685102015-07-01T06:20:13.364-04:002015-07-01T06:20:13.364-04:00Hi April, you made great mini-versions of the fash...Hi April, you made great mini-versions of the fashions! The fashion for men is not exactly subtle for next summer! Personally I prefer a little bit more dimmed outfits, for real men that is, the mini's look great in the outfits :-). The design of the Pringle of Scotland jacket is interesting though, with that small belt. PS: I commented on your dolls' own blog, did it come through? Because World Fashion Doll Day is a great idea!!! The dolls need to get planning for next year :-D!!!

Change is part of this industry and each generation has a right to their own aesthetic expression. HOWEVER....I really don't understand many of these designers. I do not think much of what's on the runway will ever see the light of the day in any form. It all looks so very....design school concepts to my eyes. Actually, I think my dolly interpretations look better than it will on real people. If you want to stick with Armani and the like, that's ok too because lots of "ordinary" jackets, shirts and pants make up a good part of what's in today's market. My aim is to try to find a few special items which shows the more interesting elements of that season's trends that can work for the 12" doll, in particular. Though London was wild and crazy, the clothes I've featured here are the most tame!!!!<br />On the other hand...you never know what will catch on. While in Paris, I was most surprised to see how many young men work narrow trousers rolled up above the ankles. I suspect the shorts suits will also be big as well!april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-84461440661232259772015-06-30T16:12:52.090-04:002015-06-30T16:12:52.090-04:00Hi April, as usual it will take me a while to make...Hi April, as usual it will take me a while to make sense of the latest male's fashions. At a first glance I would settle for good old Armani, but I know that somewhere in the future some of this ideas will pop up as new fashions for the guys.<br />You did a great job with your creations, you're able to keep the general idea and in the same time to keep it simple enough to look great on 1/6 scale dolls!billa's dolls and fashionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469748679904970074noreply@blogger.com
