Fashionable Mention: Versace Men’s S/S 15 Collection

Arianne Suggs April 24, 2015April 24, 2015Leave a Comment

Toga! Toga! Toga! Versace is known for making men feel like high-ranking kings of the world through impeccable designs and tailoring. Nevertheless, what really caught our eye this season was the beach wear for men. The models coming down the runway embodied Greek Olympian strength and panache that made us want to go put a gold medal around their necks. The overall look may be a little much to translate into the streets but the opulence of the collection is still refreshing to see. Versace proves that swim wear for men can be in the words of Drake, “Fancy.”

Chanel Iman has always had a love for fashion and talks about it freely this month with Malibu Magazine. Regarding her mother Iman confessed,

“She’d know just what to do to punish me. She wouldn’t give me money for the mall, and she knew I loved fashion. So my girlfriends would get fresh outfits to go to the movies, and I’d have to wear something I’d already worn.”

For the cover Chanel was styled by Anita Patrickson who chose a Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2015 blue sweater dress for the fashionable 24-year-old and photography was handled by Jake Chessum.
