PORTS 1961: SS2016 Campaign

Ports 1961 is one of those labels that I highly anticipate especially since Milan Vukmirovic became the creative director for their menswear line. Before I even knew about Milan’s fashion designing skills he has always been one of my all time favorite fashion photographers. He has this supernatural ability to capture raw relatable emotion in his photos.

The SS2016 campaign was photographed in Venice, Los Angeles by Milan and features Brazilian male supermodel, Marlon Teixeira. The campaign is just flawless; it seamlessly captures the quintessential all-American summer. The collection itself is unique, fresh and youthful. I love the innovative use of the star throughout the collection.

I absolutely love it when a brand can seamlessly sell me on a lifestyle as well as their new collection through their ad campaign. Needless to say I’m a huge fan of the new McNeal campaign!
 

Svensk Stil: Tiger of Sweden – Raw Luxury

TIGER OF SWEDEN

Tiger of Sweden is one of those brands that consistently puts out a youthfully classic/relevant collection. Tiger of Sweden is one of my go-to brands when I’m looking for dressier/business casual clothing.

Robinson Les Bains – SS2014

 ROBINSON LES BAINS

 I am totally loving the new SS14 collection from Robinson Les Bains. This French label is known for their incredible selection of swimwear for men. Their line literally looks like it was inspired by/made for socialites around the globe. Their swimwear is smart looking and honestly looks expensive and high end.

I feel that currently there is a massive gap in the mens swimwear market. You have the sport/surf  brands that mostly cater to a younger more youthful crowd and then you have what seems like a couple brands that create and design somewhat stylish.. swimwear for men.. who have.. families.. enough said.. lol  Now if you don’t happen to like the current collections available or these limited label’s swimwear don’t really suit your body type.. you’re pretty much stuck wearing your favorite lax shorts to the beach.. haha it happens.. *flashback to last summer*

There really is a lack of detail paid to mens swimwear especially in the way that boardies are cut. I honestly can’t believe that it’s a relatively recent thing that a few surfing brands have finally introduced boardies made with stretch fabric. It seems like it would be the obvious thing to do.. two major benefits to using stretch fabric a. it’s more comfortable when your fabric moves with you; especially when you are engaged in athletic activities involving water and b. on a superficial note your swimwear is going to be (typically) more flattering.

All this to say.. That RLB is one of the few brands out there that is filling the gap. Oxford Long Boardies in Grement Blue
