Jean Paul Gaultier’s recent Men’s collection takes classic masculine garments and juxtaposes them with feminine-tinged fashion elements. The result is a fragmented yet mystifyingly cohesive collection of ephemeral looks.

From skintight satin leggings, to pleated skirts, to fur jackets, the designer disobeys traditional rules of style (e.g., “black tie”) and reinterprets them for a new generation of buyers ready to embrace a spirit of free expression.

Despite the bloodstained models who appear bruised and battered, it appears that victory was achieved through a tripartite convergence of masculinity, femininity and athleticism. Perhaps the fight theme for Gaultier’s most recent runway exhibition can be decoded as symbolic of his fight for a shift in fashion from being a fixed mode of tradition to becoming a fluid exploration of reinvention and revision.

Last week, MANGO presented their Spring 2010 collection on the runways in Madrid. Scrumptious knits, safari-esque jackets and 6-inch wedges stole the show. While Fall may have just taken over our closets, consumers world-wide are already preparing for the warmer seasons ahead.

Named “Pure Light,” the Spring collection embraces all that is wonderful with airy colors and modern flair.

The ultimate Spanish design house, MANGO is popular around the world, with over 1,000 stores in 92 countries. In 2007, actress Penelope Cruz and her sister, Monica, designed a 25-piece collection that helped brand the label as a global company.

Also in MANGO news, Scarlett Johansson has paired with the company yet again for a year-long ad campaign. Stating that she loves MANGO, Johannson finds the brand perfect for everyday living, at home or abroad.

“I see MANGO as a casual firm, with lots of combinations of garments, fresh and youthful,” declared Johannson in a recent MANGO press event.
