Francisco van Benthum's philosophy on men's fashion manifests itself in collections that challenge prevailing clothing codes and restrictions in an elegant way.

Ermenegildo Zegna continues to strengthen its comprehensive digital strategy with a new initiative featuring hot, special-edition styles sold exclusively via Zegna.com. In addition to dedicated capsule collections, Zegna will be designing clothing, accessories and complements, most of which are available in limited edition and will host a special launch every month starting in July, 2013. The first exclusive Zegna.com must-have is a collectable-edition Z Zegna Spring/Summer 2014 cotton crewneck t-shirt.

The short sleeve t-shirt is made with 100% mercerized cotton and features an all-over geometrical print in pearl, violet and navy, and was part of the Z Zegna Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Show. With its unique dual length design, whereby the front and back are different lengths with double vents on each side, the look is decidedly dapper with roomy yet sharp lines that can be worn under a suit as easily as over a pair of crisp trousers.

HYPEBEAST: Why Fashion Needs Print

Stumbled upon yet again a beautifully written piece on Hypebeast by Eugene Kan. He wrote about Why print is still needed in fashion and contrary to popular beliefs that digital will make print obsolete, the former will be here for much longer. See an excerpt below.

As we move forward, we’re certain the best days of print are behind us. There does however lie a strong presence to be had via print and many elements of its consumption are yet to be superseded by any digital approach. The tangible feel of that slightly grainy paper, the smell elicited off the printing press, the slight noise with each turn of the page, these all play to the senses of a creature that has come to love and appreciate having our five senses stimulated. 

We’ve entered an age where each subsequent generation will not understand what it means to be disconnected and offline. A generation that understands and bridges the world of analog and digital will fall to the wayside. This could be the fundamental shift as new generations overlook the beauty of print and become acclimatized to the consumption of content that previous generations found difficult and cumbersome. 

Reading that 10,000-word piece on your smartphone may become second nature — or perhaps our continually diminishing levels of patience will never let it happen. We’d go out on a limb to say that modern day print isn’t dead, but simply the way it needs to be applied has changed.

Raf Simons X Adidas 2014 Spring Summer Collection

 Raf Simons is giving long time adidas collaborator Jeremy Scott a run for his money with these space inspired sneakers. The minute you stare at them you kinda feel its something Justin Beiber and other celebs who've signed up for the Virgin Galactic trip should be wearing. I do love em but if they are going to be as gargantuan in shape like their predecessors then i might have to skip. Their widths are a bit on the large size and make you feet seem like those of some folk tale giant. But hey, we will never know till these land in stores February 2014.

HYPEBEAST: Is the Internet Making Us All Dress the Same?

Read an interesting article on Hypebeast which was well written by Robert Marshall. It talked about how fashion and style is starting to look uniform and not unique. The internet has helped style dissipate far quicker and in turn moved clothes off the shelves from high street stores to designer thanks to global trends. Read excerpts from the piece below

Although trade still serves as a catalyst for consumer culture diffusion, fashion’s forgone brick and mortar marketplace has since been succeeded by the invention of the internet and its sophisticated e-commerce tools. This international expansion makes it much more accommodating for consumers to purchase garbs from countless brands located all over the world; be it a startup clothier spotted on Kickstarter, luxury wear retailing through MR PORTER, or even popular streetwear within the Hypebeast Store.

The accessibility of product on a global scale is fairly reliant on consumers sharing ideals for what is fashionable. Gone are the days where enthusiasts looked to designer runway showings or subscription-based services offered by regional print style magazines as the go-to source for discovering what is considered in vogue.
