The Fashion Follow Up: Still Rockin Those Birkenstock’s.

The Fashion Follow Up: Still Rockin Those Birkenstock’s.

Hello everyone out there, as always it’s good to see you. I AM JMADDD STYLES, and I’m back with another one , you have logged on just in time for my latest blog post. Welcome to The Fashion Follow Up: Still Rockin Those Birkenstock’s, this is the follow up to my previous blog post How to Rock your BIRKENSTOCK’s , from a little over a year ago. If you have not had the opportunity to take a look at that, then by all means scroll down a little and give it a look and a read. But for now I’m back with the second installment and I’m once again showing you further How to Rock Your Birkenstock’s. What really sparked my interest in this latest blog/vlog was , a couple of weeks ago on YouTube I came across a video that basically said Birkenstock’s , or sandals were not a good look for men or women in particular Birkenstock’s , well from my vantage point that couldn’t be the furthest thing from the fashionable truth, you just have to know how to wear and style them or better yet how to rock them. However as always I can show you better than I can tell you, so here is my latest fashionable production.

All looks in this video have been styled and arranged by JMADDD STYLES.

As I have demonstrated in well over sixteen different ways , sandals in particular BIRKENSTOCK’s are most definitely not a fashion don’t, but are in fact a fashion must do. Sandals are an excellent alternative to wearing the same shoes or sneakers, it takes a measure of fashionable confidence to know just how to style and unapologetically rock them. Still not sure how ? Well that’s what people like me are here for, contact me and we can talk about it , (johncm43@verizon.net) or (johncm43@gmail.com).

The designer’s SPOTLIGHT: HALSTON.

The Designer’s Spotlight: HALSTON.

Hello everyone out there, as always it’s good to see you. I AM JMADDD STYLES and I would like to take this time out to welcome you to my latest blog post, The Designer’s Spotlight: HALSTON. IM taking you back with this one , I’m giving you STUDIO 54 vibes with this one. I decided for this latest blog post , I wanted to shed a little light on a designer that made a major splash in the industry from the 70’s STUDIO 54 Disco era, but continued to make major noise throughout the 80’s , and the early 90’s when he passed away. Halston was known as one of the GREAT AMERICAN DESIGNERS of the time , he created a look that was synonymous with his name, and even though he passed away , his clothing today still carries on the look that made the brand as iconic then and still is today , especially among those that are luxury fashion enthusiasts today. My latest fashionable production that you are about to have a look at below , will show you the latest from HALSTON , as well as I’m showing you how to style pieces from the current collection. So without further ado, here it is The Designer’s Spotlight: HALSTON…

All looks in this video have been styled and arranged by JMADDD STYLES…

As you can see from the video , the HALSTON brand is still very much around and respected among those that are in the know when it comes to fashion and brands from the past. If you look closely you will notice that the look of the brand really hasn’t changed much from the 70’s era when it first caught fire during that disco STUDIO 54 era. The only thing that may have changed a little is the silhouette of the clothing to give it a more modern cut , but aside from that, the brand looks almost exactly like what made it successful in the first place.

So far as luxury brands go , the price point is not to bad, ranging from the low 100’s to upwards of the low 700’s, not to bad by comparison of most high end luxury brands , it’s fairly affordable to own a piece of this iconic brand. The looks that you see in the video can be shopped at www.halston.com and www.shopstyle.com .

Well there it is , just like that we have just reached the end of yet another blog post, I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed presenting it to you. I AM JMADDD STYLES and this has been The Designer’s Spotlight: HALSTON. That’s it for now , so until the next time…IM GONE…!!!.

The staying power of a streetwear brand: LRG : Lifted Research Group.

The staying power of a streetwear brand: LRG : Lifted Research Group.

Hello everyone out there, as always it’s good to see you. I AM JMADDD STYLES , and this is my latest blog post : The staying power of a streetwear brand: LRG ( Lifted Research Group ) . Today I am talking about something that is near and dear to me in the world of fashion , what is that you may ask ? STREETWEAR , why streetwear? Well it’s because that’s where I got my start in the industry, right about the time when streetwear was on the rise and everyone wanted a piece of it. When I came in Fubu was starting to blow up major , and many other brands with it such as Karl Kani and Maurice Malone. Las Vegas was the place to be to display your brand and the competition was thick. Everyone seemed to be throwing their hat into the streetwear fashion ring, including myself. But that’s another story for another blog post. When it comes to a streetwear brand, not many stand the test of time or have a very long run , for a number of reasons from funding to bad management to not having the right formula for longevity. So when a brand comes along that does stand the test of time, that brand has what I call staying power and LRG has demonstrated over the years that it had what it took to be one of those brands that could stand the test of fashionable time , due to it’s versatility and ability to change with the times and the trends without skipping a fashionable beat.

This is Jonas Bevacqua , the cofounder and original designer of the LRG brand , before passing away in 2011. I know each time that I had ever seen or ran into him at an event or fashion convention, he showed that he lived the brand, he was as much of brand within himself as the actual clothing, which is what helped sell the brand and caused everyone else to want to have a piece of the brand or the lifestyle synonymous with the brand. The fact that the brand still continues to work and sell after his death is proof that he did a good job of selling the LRG style and Lifestyle. The brand did something that most brands in the streetwear genre had not accomplished , that was bring together two different worlds. A combination of Skate Kid and streetwear style all under one stylish roof. However I can show you better than I can tell you. Let’s take a look at The Lifted Research Group. ( All looks in the film below are styled and arranged by JMADDD STYLES.)

Well there it is, we have just reached the end of yet another blog post, and I’m pretty sure after looking at the above presentation you can see how the brand has managed to stand the fashionable test of time and still be going strong with a loyal fan and customer base that has kept it going since it’s start in 1999 , and that’s a long time to last in the streetwear game.
