Scent Of A Woman In Mens Fashion Clothing Design
By: Patrick

New trends and styles for mens clothing and accessories are often influenced and preceded by womens fashion. If florals are on the cards for spring 2009 then similarly youll see watered down versions in suits through to silk ties.

It might sound ridiculous but it has been so for centuries.

Jean Patou a Paris fashion designer made silk ties from womens dress material hence the advent of the designer tie.

So the concept is nothing new. The fact is womens fashion is specifically designed to attract man.

And so naturally including a smidgeon of femininity into mens accessories silk ties in particular makes perfect sense. The other thing is youd be surprised at the number of females that design mens clothing.

It is our good fortune that they do otherwise wed end up with nothing other than grey suits striped ties and tattered old wallets.

Ive seen the spring summer 2009 silk tie collection they are drab and colourless a series of stripes and geometric patterns no florals at all which after seeing what women plan to wear is in contrast to logic.

How much longer do we have to be confined to conservative shades of grey

Well luckily there are changes afoot and if youre prepared to look hard enough will be rewarded. There are designers out there who accurately forecast future trends and theyre the ones to watch as they buck the critics view.

The women fashion designers I know of and or associated with all share common traits the way they incorporate colour and pattern cannot be mimicked by man. And thats where the great appeal is its the scent of a women in the designs they create.

Rather than follow mainstream weve created our own regime with a small cluster of male and female designers. People may ask whats so special about that Well theres only one way to find out.
