Alessandro Dell'Acqua // Fall 2006

Dell'Acqua defined the body with his close-cut shearling and a trim brown leather blouson. But he allowed a little luxury into his pared-down proposition with jeans that were treated to shine, a topcoat trimmed in black satin, and a single-buttoned, shawl-collared tux. And the shoes throughout were a sleek, dandified black patent. But what's enduringly odd about Dell'Acqua is the way in which the women's clothing he shows alongside his men's collection is fleshily sensual, while the clothes he makes for guys are so cool and detached, they're practically arctic. Come to think of it, perhaps that's why he cited the aloof Ms. Smith as his menswear muse. By: Tim Blanks for Style

What Works ? Q&A

Q. Hey David, I first want to say that your workout DVD with you and Sean is amazing. I learned so much and it was fun to watch. Then I got to see you workout for a whole hour, I couldn’t ask for more. Ok here’s my question - what’s your favorite exercise for your legs?

A. Thanks for the good word. Basketball, football, and ultimate Frisbee – I find that when I play intense sports a few times a week and do some squats and lunges I get much better results then just doing squats and lunges, plus sports are a lot more fun than squats and, as a result, most people will do more.

Most often people think you can only develop a great body in the gym. I’m here to let you know that you can develop a greater body when you combine an effective gym workout with outdoor workouts. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons I created the beach workout video in my DVD series – to show you how you can develop a body that looks great naked anywhere, and not all from the gym.

Men In Skirt

Between February 10th and March 2nd, the Cultural Centre 'Casa de Vacas' of the Buen Retiro Park has welcomed the HOMBRESENFALDA exhibition (MENINSKIRT). A total of 75 masculine skirts designed by big names of the universe of the national and international fashion were presented to the public, claiming to some extent the protagonism that this garment was in the masculine wardrobe of other times. Thank you Neil for the info and photos.

For all of you that loved the Santiago Calatrava's plans for the cube building in New York, you are going to love 4 Projects Miami, a collection of four new unique developments including Casa, Canvas and Cor.
