I thought I should feature some menswear today (courtesy of Munib Nawaz), something I little more subdued and melancholy.
Then a little bit of crazy female stuff at the end to take us home. *smile* I'm excited already.
Designer Munib Nawaz of Pakistan
*~Let it Begin!~*
Ok so we start out with some promising pieces like this one.
Not a big fan of the Guy-liner (maybe he was just born like that...or maybe it's Maybelline! *gasp*). Hairs nice, postures lovely, and the scarf/tie...meh. Can't tell the length of the coat from this pic but I don' think it would matter much either way.
All-in-all: 5 *'s out of 10
It's well tailored and subtle but not boring.
*~Next!~*
Kind'a feel like this would've done better if not in tux form but to each his own. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't interesting, but it's almost in a distracting way. One thing I do like about it is that I can see the how the designer incorporated his Middle Eastern roots, giving them a spin.
All-in-all: 3 *'s out of 10
Today and tomorrow all wrapped up in a suave black bundle.
*~Next!~*
Ok REALLY liking the lapels here.
Forever this part of the suit has fascinated me, and I always like to see the designers use it as the focal point of the entire piece.
I'm getting a rabbi/matador/gunslinger vibe from this one.
Do I love it? Do I fear it? Is there a difference?
All-in-all: 7 *'s out of 10
The garb of an epic hero...or villain. *wink*
*~Next!~*
Not being Pakistani by birth or creed, I don't quite get the thrill of pride when I see this piece as I'd assume someone for the country actually would. But statements of pride for one's country will always be respected here.
All-in-all: 5 *'s out of 10
Lovely jacket from what I can see, along with a lovely message.
*~Next!~*
Looks like *someone* got a hold of the Beddazzeler. *smile*
I actually quite like this one.
More traditional, more luxurious, more...more.
Very prince of the desert and also very nice.
All-in-all: 5 *'s out of 10
It sparkles. I like when it sparkles.
Interlude...
~*~
OK this next designer Damaris Rubio of the Dominican Republic is apparently either camera shy or just very, very fast. Either way, no picture of him do I have to show you.
Yes. I'm just as disappointed as you are.
But buck up sunshine, I've got a sampling of his work and I have a feeling you're going to like it.

Recommencing...
"There once was a girl with a tiny little curl, right in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was good she was very, very good. And when she was bad she was horrid."
Kind of '80's prom bomb with some French sizzle tossed it. The color is good but the sheen is just making me cringe.
All-in-all: 3 *'s out of 10
Ooh-la-la!
*~Next~*
This model looks like she's about ready to break it down right here on the runway.
And I'm ready to join in!
The sheer Princess Lea dress looks like it's flows well and the leotard and/or swimsuit is pleasant. The snow queen belt doesn't seem to be hurting any.
I question only the black flower...
All-in-all: 4 *'s out of 10
Ideal wear when challenged to a dance off.
*~Next!~*
Naturally, only mile-high legs could do these pieces justice, and my how they do.
Stunning to say the lest, I like how the proportions are extreme and definite.
Both carry it well but the lady on the left wins my vote.
All-in-all: 6 *'s out of 10
They will trample you...in style.
*~Next!~*
Um...am I the only one who missed the memo on the petticoat sleeve trend?
These women look like very dangerous curtains.
They also look like they are risking massive wedgies all for the sake of fashion.
Another nod to ones country I suppose.
Thumbs up on the shoes and the flower tiaras are forgivable.
All-in-all: 2 *'s out of 10
Ricky Ricardo would be proud.
So I hope you enjoyed today's lesson in "The Do's and Don'ts of Country Pride in the Fashion World".
It's a lesson we all may take to heart.
I wonder what it'd look like if an American designer tried to do the same thing...hmmm...*smile* Later!
