My Kind of Safari!

I'm a trend hunter and I confess that I watch runway videos on YouTube along with the Bed Intruder Song just for shits and giggles. "Hide Yo Kids!"

But this Bottega Veneta Spring / Summer 2012 men's collection runway video is truly inspiring. It's Sir Lawrence of Arabia before he got on that damned infidel camel. There are so many pieces that fit my personal style of simple clothes with intriguing details. Okay, I also dabble into a little crazy here and there. Aside from those occasional lapses in mental judgements, everything in this video just did it for me. I have a few Bottega Veneta accessories but have never been lucky enough to add their clothes to my closet because they never have my size. So I am left to shopping Zara for the knock-offs. There's no shame in my fashion game. And if you have issues with that, then take some advice from Antoine Dawson and "Hide Yo Kids!"

YES: It's okay to aspire to have something from a runway show that you can buy at Bottega Veneta with your trust fund money or at a sample sale. If it suits your personal style, look into it like a CSI investigator.
NO: Leave it on the runway if you think you need the head to toe look...just because it works on the runway doesn't mean it will work in real life. You are the reason bullying still exists.
MAYBE: You can get away with mixing items from the same collection without looking like a fool. Or do what I do and mix it with the other things I have in my closet so that I don't look trendy.
