Call me, definitely
MANILA, Philippines - Men’s fashion just got summer fever, if you count the upcoming London Olympic Games and the hot summer movie releases heading our way. Everyone from Mossimo Duti to the Armani Group and Gucci is saying
“Ciao” to stylish men’s fashion, and it’s a fever every sharp-dressed guy will want to catch.
Gucci Dresses Robert Pattinson For ‘Cosmopolis’
Gucci has collaborated with costume designer Denise Cronenberg to create the sleek and elegant silhouette for actor Robert Pattinson in the new contemporary thriller, Cosmopolis. The David Cronenberg-directed film premiered at Cannes Film Festival last May 25.
In the film, Pattinson’s character is dressed in one of Gucci’s signature silhouettes — a black two-button notch lapel Signoria. The impeccably tailored suit is paired with a fitted white cotton shirt, slim black silk tie, leather belt with silver buckle detail and black leather lace-up dress shoes.
In the Philippines, Gucci is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center and Rustan’s Tower Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
City Guy Gone Tropic
Massimo Dutti’s men’s summer collection is inspired by the sea, sand, sun and sailboats, but steers clear of typical warm weather fashion, which often lacks the tailored, put-together vibe that is the essence of urban style.
Key items for daytime are knee-length cotton and cotton linen shorts in light colors, two-toned navy shoes, large cotton bags and colorful rope belts. Come nighttime, this look is elevated with rolled-up trousers, sailor shirts, and blazers in shades of blue. The preppy result is encouraging — it’s summer, but it’s city.

When Shirts Go Bi-Fabric
One of the new trends this season in Emporio Armani’s Men’s RTW Line is bi-fabric shirts, which are shirts in classic pipeline and delicate jersey that have been updated by teaming them with different fabrics or by adding contrast detailing at the cuffs and collar — in cotton/cashmere melange fabric. The final result is an interesting combination of juxtapositions, marquetry and layering. The sleeves are tailored in a different fabric from the body of the shirt or coupled with a light stitched cardigan, giving these shirts the right touch of meticulousness.

Giorgio Armani: Olympic Style
One way to ensure the Italians look good during the upcoming Olympics: fashion kits supplied by Armani. The Italian National Olympic Teams that will compete in London from June 27 to Aug. 12 will wear EA7 Emporio Armani sportswear and formal wear at all official events for the duration of the competition. The kit includes a complete wardrobe of modular outfits, a carry-on suitcase and suitcase and an official tracksuit, featuring an asymmetrical closure, nylon jacket, Bermuda shorts, trousers and T-shirts, as well as running and training shoes built using the innovative C-Cube (Carbon Cushion Control) technology, which ensures maximum comfort that is responsive to all conditions.
