Coming from Denmark Mathias has earned himself a contract with Gucci and has graced the male fashion pages and runway shows for Hugo Boss, Givenchi, and many other top brands.

Garrett Neff and theCalvin Klein underwear campaign, The Calvin Klien tighty whities are the best known men’s underwear on the planet and with models like Garrett Neff, there seems to be little question why.

Calvin Klien underwear ads were a staple of magazine ads a few decades ago, they seemed to have gone away for a bit, as baggy hip hop inspired boxers made a large showing and now with the tight buns of Garrett Neff helping the cause, we may see many more Calvin Klien, almost “R” rated, fashion spreads as the tighty whities make a fashion come back.

Wow, I loved them all. They were all so different. Kenley had an incredibly colorfull look. Korto was so Ethnic with such saturated color and Leane’s looked just sleet, well in a sleek ruffle kind of way.

Yep, and the winner was…. drum roll please, the lovely Leanne.

I am glad leanne won project runway season 5 and I really loved her collection. I loved the petals and the look was new and something that could not be anyone other than Leanne. All the project runway season 5 collections were awsome, you can check out all the Season 5 Project Runway collections here.

Here is a recap of Leannes Final runway show on Project Runway.

I love the very complicated made simple and effortless look. It is so fancy and ruffled in a demure and refined kind of way. Those ruffles or petals look stylish and give her a signature of her own without even coming close to look like too much. They really catch my attention and obviously the judges and producers who ultimately made Leanne the new Project Runway star and winner. I can’t say I didn’t see it coming, she was the strongest competitor from the start and took quite a few challenges all in a row. I believe she even won a show with immunity.

You go girl!

Lets jump back a few decades to the incredibly colorful 1960’s. This is a great decade for fashion and a store called decades actually has these dresses for sale. The 1960’s was all about

the mini and designers used the craziest of prints and gorgeous saturated color to make 1960 one of the more memorable decades for fashion. Designers at the time not only had to make the garment work, but match up prints and make them work as well. It almost seems that trying to piece a dress together from some of these elaborate prints is almost like doing a jig saw puzzle, every printed piece has to fall exactly into place to pull it off. Unlike solids where all the fabric is

identical and can be used, these loud prints must be cut and placed exactly, the tiniest of mistakes and nothing lines up.

We all know that hats and gloves were the rage of the 40’s and 50’s. I mean, you weren’t anyone and definitely not stylish with out a cap of some kind grazing over your forehead.

How about a book on your head? hey, it’s a hat and it may help your posture as well.

Classic models in, what else, vintage hats
