UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR
GUCCI SPRING 2010
Ladies I need yall to rock with these this spring! Aint nothing sexy like a women in some stunning heels!
Spring / summer 2010 Gucci shoes are characterized by complex straps constructions and at the same time models with laconic appearance — a minimum of fittings and décor is used, all attention is given directly to the form. Platforms have rigorously defined geometric shape, adding the overall form of footwear special monumentality.
The leather cuff complements the design of sandals, tightening the ankle sexily — a model quite decent to Bond girl.
The design of summer boots recalls wide leather belt wrapped around the legs. Belt knee-length boots are represented in the collection with mini-dresses.

Fonzworth Bentley: The originator of ‘swagger’
While doing my routine check on Jadore Mags website I came across this! And I have to say this interview definetly made me find the time to go research more about Mr.Bentley!
From writing the book Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence and Style to Get Ahead to producing a MTV reality show that is shown in 40 countries, Mr. Bentley continues to shine.
With a presence reminiscent of what you would find from the Harlem Renaissance or early Hollywood glamour period, Derek Watkins exudes exemplary class and style. Looking up to men such as Fred Astaire, Duke Ellington, Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. to craft a swagger that is uniquely his own, Mr. Watkins aka Fonzworth Bentley aka Mr. Bentley says his sense of style originates from his great grandfather, Daddy Emmett. Fonzworth’s impeccable manners, self-confidence and desire to use all of the above to get ahead were the foundation for his book Advance Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence and Style to Get Ahead. The lessons and teachings of his book have become the basis for the MTV reality show From G’s to Gents.
Mr. Bentley has come a long way from the Outkast videos and being perceived as P. Diddy’s manservant. “Working for P. Diddy was like getting a PhD in marketing and a master’s degree in hustle,” states Mr. Bentley. Originally moving to New York City from Atlanta, GA to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology, he stayed to assimilate the many different styles and fashion attitudes that are found throughout the various sections of the city. With a desire to be a sponge and learn from a mogul, his manners, confidence and style made it happen. Since then, Mr. Bentley has forged a brand that will leave an indelible mark on the entertainment and fashion world for decades to come.
J’Adore sits down and talks with the man with the plan, Mr. Fonzworth Bentley, to truly see how things are done in the world fashion, etiquette and the show biz.

SHARP SUITS
External Peripheral Free Desktop Computer Froot
Froot is a bio friendly desktop computer concept, which was also a participant of DELL Regeneration Green Computing Technology Contest, features laser technology and high end projecting for efficient and convenient computing. With this concept, the need of external peripherals like monitor or keyboard has been eliminated by projecting them onto any flat surface. Froot has been made by using starch based polymer made biodegradable skin that ensures a close loop of the product by returning the electrical components to the manufacturer for recycle and reuse. Moreover, Froot promotes social interaction by using the projected screen as a media center for business or family entertainment.

QUOTE OF THE DAY!
KAMBER'S FASHION STATEMENTS
THE WORLD’S UGLIEST ROLEX
The world’s ugliest Rolex, a custom leopard print diamond and sapphire Cosmograph Daytona, has turned up for sale via global online luxury marketplace JamesList for $46,000. Unsurprisingly, the hideous timepiece has never been worn, and is being offered for sale in glitzy Miami Beach. The special edition watch has an 18k yellow gold case with 36 baguette cognac sapphires, 48 diamonds on the end pieces, and a leopard print dial festooned with another eight diamonds. It comes on a leopard print leather strap with an 18k yellow gold deployable clasp. The aesthetic travesty is all the more unfortunate because the Daytona in classic stainless steel is considered by many to be Rolex’s most attractive model. Designed as the ultimate timing tool for endurance races, the Daytona is made to allow the driver to map his course times accurately and determine how he must drive in order to achieve victory.

BookBook
Ingenious and slightly ironic at the same time, the BookBook ($80) is a new case for the MacBook and MacBook pro that disguises your ‘Book as, well, a book. Employing thick hardcover front and rear panels and a rigid spine, the BookBook provides ample protection for your laptop, while elastic corner clips let you use the computer while it’s encased, and dual zippers let you charge the device while closed. Best of all, the hand craftsmanship and distressing ensure your BookBook will be unique to you, further reducing the fact that passerby will notice that it’s not simply an aging hardbound tome.
Costume National Fall 2010 [Milan Fashion Week]
These looks are real interesting. I gotta cop the coat in the frist pic.
Italian fashion house Costume National has blessed the runway in Milan, and now it’s time to turn you to the collection. GQ Eye describes it as, “An army of dark suits for the man who doesn’t wear suits, complete with drawstring trousers, zippered pant pockets, chewed-up edges, and fuzzy sleeves. All paired with high-reaching turtlenecks and I-don’t-have-a-day-job motorcycle boots.”
