For me as a blogger, it is so interesting to observe the recent forays of many fashion houses into social media, such as this new extraordinary project: On January 16th 2012 at 3pm (CET), Zegna Facebook fans can experience the Z Zegna F/W 2012 men fashion show live through the eyes of fashion icon Anna Dello Russo.

Her arrival, her moments backstage with Z Zegna’s new Creative Director Paul Surridge, and her savvy commentary before, during and after the Z Zegna show will be live streamed by two assistants who will be armed with a special application developed for iPhone. Anna Dello Russo, who will be dressed in a Z Zegna suit specially designed for her, will have a dedicated tab on the Facebook page and fans can see the runway show live streamed “Beyond the Catwalk” experience through the eyes of fashion icon Anna Dello Russo. An exclusive video of the fittings will follow right after fashion week.
This is your chance to experience in real-time the excitement of the fashion show through the eyes of one of the most famous international stylist and fashion blogger, Anna dello Russo once described as ‘a fashion maniac’ by Helmut Newton.

For all my male readers who have been asking for this frequently, here is my Menswear Trend Report for F/W 2010.
And Ladies, please stay tuned as you never know when this will come in handy. Your hubbies, daddies and boyfriends will love you even a little more for your fashion knowledge. Moreover the menswear trends are very similiar to the female ones. Have fun and get inspired! Even the classic pieces are definitely not boring this season…but see for yourself:
The end `50s and early `60s inspired many designers for their F/W 2010 collections. The well-tailored suit makes its return into the gentleman’s closet. Imagine Don Draper, the main character of Mad Men, shopping on Savile Row and there you go! Back to the basics, black, all shades of grey and camel welcome elegance as the new dress code.
Also back is the 3-piece suit. I like Costume National’s modern interpretation in grey worn with a turtleneck.
Anyway, turtlenecks were seen everywhere on the runways and seemed to have replaced the shirts. Those cozy pieces worn with a suit have this wonderful `70s vibe that is so up-to-date.
Camel is the new black! The camel coat has been a wardrobe staple of almost every fashionable era. This season, there are many different updated models in well-designed silhouettes, dynamic volumes and distinct cuts. A great investment for many years to come!
A vest or a jacket in velvet is a must this season. Beautiful shades make those It-pieces even more desirable.
Added to these revisited classics making them part of the modern times, were narrow tight leather or cropped pants.
The new hemline goes hand in hand with another rising trend for men. Pants were tucked into boots and it looked so hot! So guys, be brave and try it out!
If you like it more bright, you could add just a hint of colour, preferably in royal blue or a berry tone. A little sweater like the Prada one will be a perfect eyecatcher.
Or you could opt for the total look. Tone on tone, from head to toe, dressed in the same colour family or matching fabrics give this creative concept a new take on the masculine dress code.
If it gets really cold, men will have a lot of stylish options this season. Fur was seen along with must-have shearling jackets. I adore the Burberry Prorsum ones very much.
Rustic sweaters evoking a winter sports atmosphere let us dream of after ski and evenings in the chalet.
So Gentlemen, I never want to hear again that you are indifferent to fashion! Enjoy your new look and the world will be your oyster!
LoL, Sandra
