Alejandro Ingelmo Soho

Being in fashion—especially in New York—at this moment is kinda strange. Life must go on, but, as nature would have it, there are a lot of people around who’ve been left out in the rain. (And tomorrow, as another storm approaches, that will be quite literally). Not exactly the most inspiring moment to go buy stuff. So…to the point. Some brands are doing their thing to make you feel much less guilty for going out and snagging a new pair of (here) sneakers or (also) jackets. Consider spending your dollars at the following. Alejandro Ingelmo, he of slick sneaker fame, will be donating 10% of his Soho store’s sales from now until to November 9th to the hunger-relief charity Feeding America, which is aiding those in need of food in the wake of the hurricane. The Manhattan boutique is located at 51 Wooster near the intersection of  Wooster and Spring. Osklen, of Brazilian sustainability innovation, will be donating 10% of sales from its Miami and New York stores from November 6th to November 9th to the Red Cross to aid Sandy relief. The New York store is located in Soho at 97 Wooster Street at the intersection of Wooster and Spring. The Miami store is located in Miami Beach at 1101 Lincoln Road.

SAO PAULO FASHION WEEK

A Brief Summary of Menswear at São Paulo Fashion Week

SAO PAULO FASHION WEEKOne of the largest and most watched fashion events in Latin America, São Paulo Fashion Week ended its 34th edition last week in Brazil. While the weather in the capital marked the hottest days in last five years—balmy might be a good word—the designers presented their proposals for the cooler winter months in 2013. The words to describe overall? Diverse. Forward. Experimental. Fun. From Patagonia  to 1930’s Rio and from vampires to the military—click through to see what’s been cooking on the lower half of the equator.

Osklen
Designer Oskar Metsavath called his Fall/Winter 2013 collection, Into the Mountains, taking inspiration from the cold, high altitude landscapes of Patagonia and Aspen. You’ll see this in the fact that everything was made withan ecological, sustainable textile called e-fabric seal. Cool.

Joao Pimenta
The only exclusively menswear designer on the line up, Pimenta played with sizes and cuts on tailoring to provide an elegant tribute to the “malandro carioca”—a typical character of 30´s in Rio de Janeiro, and big names of samba like Noel Rosa and Vicente Celestino.

Lino Villaventura
The clothing was neo-goth, but the point was driven home with the abundance of fog that was set forth unto the runway. Vampires and creatures of the night, take note.

Colcci
Regular attendee, Ashton Kutcher decided to skip out on attending the year’s show, which is just fine, because the chic, fashion forward clothing clearly speaks for itself.
