Black in Berlin

Well, not exactly. Images also from Copenhagen and Paris fashion weeks, taken for Stil in Berlin.

No matter how many bright and jewel colors were presented in the Fall 2009 menswear shows, I suppose many still prefer commiserating with the weather.

A new look for Hel Looks + the dandy at Glam Canyon

Hel Looks, the Helsinki-based streetstyle blog, is now much easier to navigate, though of course nothing was wrong with its earlier quirky design.

Sebastian, 23, has this to say about his style and get-up: “First I had a yellow bicycle rim, then I designed a yellow chair and after that I started wearing yellow jeans. The jacket is Members Only, the hoodie from American Apparel, the t-shirt from Stockholm and shoes from USA. I like relaxed and spontaneous style.”




The plaid details are set free on Eric's vintage sweater. He is also wearing an old English pea coat, trousers from Canada, and old army boots. Of his style: "I like to wear vintage, stuff that no-one else can have. I'm in a grey phase now, with some navy blue. Karl Lagerfeld and London street style inspire me.”




Glam Canyon, on the other hand, shows how playing with colors and scarves can pay off. In this instance, with a brightly colored, long button-down.






While it is the scarf here that does the work. Of course, the skinny jeans and boots combo too.

Black and white from Berlin and Stockholm

Even if Eyke may have borrowed his mother's lace-collared polka dot blouse, his cape, ripped and gaping jeans, boots, and hat more than make up in keeping his outfit masculine.

Linus, on the other hand, looks like a mama's boy, with everything coming in matching pairs: hat and bowtie, shirt and pocket square, jacket and shoes. Even the camera matches his pin. The pants, in this picture, go with the background paint.
