Pretty effFLY FOR A _____ GUY: Bottega Veneta

When one thinks of "Menswear", what comes to mind? Slacks, suiting, tailored fits, masculine maybe? Sure! But let's not forget the texture, leather, classic suiting, splashes of color and Bottega Veneta. Bringing back our Pretty effFLY For A _______ Guy trend, Veneta gave me all that I love in menswear.

Fashion Writer, Tim Blanks gave us his review/scoop on Veneta's inspiration for this collection. Ry Cooder's music for Paris, Texas is practically the loneliest sound in the world. That made it an appropriate intro for Tomas Maier's new collection, in which he imagined a man on a road trip to rediscover a country he'd spent too much time flying over. The scenario offered the designer a golden opportunity to develop his signature blend of the hyper-casual and the super-formal, and he made the most of it.

But things really came into their own with a series of monochrome outfits in maroon, petrol blue, and olive green, especially a coat, pants, top, and intrecciato tote, all in the same military shade. Maier found his models all over the place, from L.A. to B.A. (as in Buenos Aires), and their sensual polymorphisms perfectly suited the road-trip theme—a valuable reminder of how much casting can add to a show.

effFRESH OR effFLOP: "What's Not To Love"

Today's "Fresh or Flop" video comes from one of the smoothest and most soulful dudes in Hip-Hop and R&B, not Trey or Usher...Dwele. I'm personally happy to see him back out doing the music thing. I fell in love with Sketches of A Man and of course his vocals on Kanye's latest joint, "Power." On June 29th Dwele is set to release his fourth album W.W.W. (W.ants. W.orld. W.omen). Here's the video for his single "What's Not To Love", directed by Anthony Garth. Happy Watching!

effFASHION effFIGHT: Taraji vs. Keri

Taraji P. Henson vs. Keri Hilson

Actress, Taraji P. Henson and singer, Keri Hilson, hit the red carpet last night at VH1's Hip-Hop Honors. The event took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City and these two ladies looked effFABULOUS! Taraji looked lovely and kept her femininity in her outfit, while Keri played true to her personal style in this little newsboy get-up! I love the color scheme on both ladies, but this is a fashion fight so you tell us who won!
