Streetstyle Icon: Leandra Medine

Ever since she first appeared in the international fashion scene Leandra Medine has been the most obstinate blogger out of the bunch. On a daily base she updates her blog The Man Repeller with a vibrant mix of style reports and personal anecdotes. The latest fashion trends and updates can be found there too, but don’t expect anything too serious. Leandra likes a humorous approach, which we can clearly see in her quirky streetstyle looks.

Leandra doesn’t wear designer clothes just to look pretty and show off. She likes to communicate her vision on fashion as well. Therefore she’s not your average blogger model, although she has been the face of Uniqlo and Vero Moda. She even walked a Rebecca Minkoff fashion show. All brands who appreciate Leandra’s quirkiness, just as much as her followers and visitors do.

As if her blog and social media channels aren’t enough for her to let people hear her voice the brunette blogger even wrote her first book; Seeking Love, Finding Overalls. Fun to read, like you’d expect from her. Just as fun as her Style.com video’s are in which she tackles fashion dilemma’s as well as certain do’s and don’ts while rocking the latest designer looks.

Original, quirky outfits which always have the power to draw your attention to them. Like a Tory Burch tule skirt matched with an oversized Philip Lim turtle neck. Or a pair of super flared Tibi jeans. Leandra has an eye for detail too. She parades in Chanel clogs, Prada turbans and Balenciaga belts. Her looks are chic and fashion forward, yet she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Plus, she doesn’t care if she looks hot (for men; Man Repeller) or not, she just wear what she likes and we love her for that.

Trend Report SS2014: Grande Entrée

More than your shoes, your (it-)bag and your hair this season the statement making is really done by your coat. The styles are outspoken; boldly printed, bright colored or architecturally shaped and always carelessly tossed around the body these summer coats are bound to have you make a grande entrée. Our favorite one, shot in the streets of Paris is the yellow/greenish version, effortlessly paired with a chic tweed ensemble, showing some leg for the perfect proportions. A great coat goes a long way…

Trend Report SS2014: Name Dropping

While Selfridges introduced a whole range of de-branded food products the world of fashion is holding a serious game of name dropping. Large fashion houses (Kenzo, DKNY, Acne and Dior) as well high street names are screaming for attention by placing words and logos in all the right places. Not the owner of a luxury logo? A touch of humor in the form of brand-like prints such as “Celfie” and “Homies” has proven to go a long way. Classic sport brands Nike and Adidas are experiencing a huge logo revival and, of course Chanel’s CC (perhaps printed on a backpack) is your best asset in this name dropping business.

New York Spin – Streetwear in New York FW14 season

Team Peter Stigter went to New York to cover the fashion shows. See what’s happening outside the shows, editors, models and buyers who attend the shows.

Streetstyle Trend: Classic Camel

Some trends start on the streets, others begin on the catwalk. The camel coat is one of those catwalk wonders. From MaxMara and Chloe to Gucci, Hermes and Michael Kors; it was in every show a few seasons ago and now it’s a big streetstyle trend. Models, bloggers, editors, photographers; everyone is sporting the classic coat look. And we can’t blame them. Those camel coats look both soft and warm and go well with just about anything. Pick a XL version and you’re joining in on the oversize fall trend as well. Wear it big or tie things up with a small belt around the waist. Just keep it classic and you can’t go wrong!

Streetwear Trend: Turtle Power!

Not able to choose between a turtle neck, a bow tie and a shirt? Just wear them all at once. According to our latest streetstyle shots it’s the latest trend. The best dressed street chic men wore thick colorful turtlenecks under their suits and overcoats. While those thin basic black (and even red) turtlenecks popped up from under fully buttoned shirts (Ermenegildo Zegna, Neil Barrett and Roberto Cavalli too introduced their version of the layered turtleneck + shirt look)Not a bad idea at all. Especially on those cold days when just a cotton shirt is not enough. It gives any look an instant sense of style and sophistication. So study our gallery and go try this trend for yourself!

 

Streetwear Trend: My beanie & me

During those cold winter days, who’s there to keep you warm and comfort you? It’s your beanie! Not only fashionable, but also quite functional. No wonder this knitted pieces of headgear seem to be everyone’s best friends. American Apparel is doing some goood business selling their beanies in every possible color. Yet a good old knitted one can be just as good looking. Even those big logos are back. So if you still kept that Nike or that Chicago Bulls beanie in the attack, go and get it while it’s hot. No worries about your hair and a instant streetwise upgrade to go.
