CSquared Trend Of The Day: Cruise The Winter Blues

Fri, 31 May 2013 14:17:09 +0300

So thank *george it is finally Friday. Time for some fashion inspiration that you can try work in on the weekend.

I was mid-cracking open a fresh Peroni to unwind for the day, until our style interns at the HOM office started geeking out over some epic blue street style looks - best way to cure those winter blues is to wear it like a boss!

This super-masculine hue color is best worn blue on blue for an edgy take on the trend, or paired with greys, winter tweeds for sophisticated work look or contrasted with pink/denim for a festive vibe for the weekend.

These okes show you how:

The Blue Suit

The Ever Stylish Nick Wooster

Spotted At CSquared Great Gatsby Screening - Details on the Glitz, Seating Scandal & Visual Wonder

Thu, 23 May 2013 05:37:00 +0300

For Immediate Release

On Friday 17th May 2013 at Cavendish Square Cape Town, CSquared invited its guests, celebrity supporters and certain lucky fans to attend the first public screening of The Great Gatsby. This was in the spirit of appreciating the iconic menswear showcased in Baz Luhrmann’s reworked classic and the launch of CSquared’s The Great Gatsby inspired story from its latest Autumn Winter 2013 Collection in stores now.

The stylin’ and jovial crowd arrived dressed in 20’s theme and were greeted with Peroni refreshments and got to mingle with fashion literati, the CSquared team and other sartorially gifted guests.

The evening started with the crowd snapping photos, mingling and eyeing who what wear.

Some of the best dressed and interesting spottings at the event:

The right kind of Motley Crew - Laurian Kabongo, Danilo Acquisto, Leagan Phillips-Laws, Sianna Wu, Wayne Govender.

Hectic 9 Nine Presenter Danilo Acquisto & Co-Presenter Laurian Kabongo

Fashion Blogger Chloe Holloway - Cocotheblog.com and Elle Rising Talent Designer Tamara Cherie Dyson

Celeb Photographer Denzil Paris Jacobs & Girl about town Thandie Kupe

Clockwise: Stylishly dressed attendees & Dom Whitman @Onedogchicken, CSquared Designer Wayne Govender in CSquared red and green tartan coat, Mark Gooding, head of brands at house of monatic, Sianna Wu from SocialWOO online fashion PR and Ikeraam Lottering, Leagan Phillip-Laws in on-trend 3 piece suit and cap.

For more fashion & social photos of attendees and guests click here.

As the evening progressed, the event suffered from a temporary bout of organisational blues due to the over-whelming demand of the film screening, and Ster-Kinekor over-booking the theatre with the public. The cinema’s lack of coordination & support naturally caused seating issues and a delay to the show.

Nothing like some pre-show drama to get the audience riled up and in the mood for a prohibition-era film!! **

Nonetheless, after guests adjusted their seating and settled in, they were treated to a visual feast of wonder, fashion, excess, glamor and heart-wrenching romance played out between hollywood ‘s best pulse-raising talents.

Notable tweets after the show from the guests on what they thought about the drama off and on screen:

Jenna from GQ Magazine & Guest

Trevor from Elle Style Reporter & Guest

Danilo from Hectic 9 Nine & Guests

CSquared sincerely thanks all who attended and genuinely appreciate every bit of support and good faith shown by our loyal friends in fashion and fans. You all looked super stylin’ and gorgeous, and we look forward to bringing you even better experiences in menswear.

Till next time - Lets Misbehave.

** Note: CSquared would like to humbly apologize for the disturbance to the event prior the show and extend this apology to the individuals who were disappointed, frustrated or inconvenienced by the seating confusion. We assure you that we are investigating seriously into the matter and have in the meantime decided to suspend the relationship with Ster Kinekor cinemas indefinitely. We value service and honor our patrons’ experience and absolutely do not condone the disorganisation shown.

Best Dressed Men at Met Constume Institute Gala 2013 - part 1

Tue, 07 May 2013 17:45:00 +0300

This year’s Met Gala theme was “PUNK” and chaos.

While the ladies had more style leeway to express this theme, we’re pretty glad that the A-List men kept it modern, dapper and clean cut.

With the theme we expected the punk 90’s throwback of plaid and the now on-trend tartan.

Our picks of best dressed men:

Gerard Butler in Classic Tuxedo from Dolce & Gabbana

Classic, modern lapel shape, matt black and very fitted. Hallmarks of a great suit.

Nikolaj Coster- Waldau - Jaime Lannister’s fashion GAME Was definitely on point. The game of thrones actor was wearing a Brunello Cucinelli tuxedo.
The midnight blue color is a trendy departure from black yet still luxuriously sophisticated.

Best Dressed Men at Met Constume Institute Gala 2013 - part 2

Tue, 07 May 2013 17:30:00 +0300

Darren Criss from GLEE fame wore a custom Richard Chai suit with perfect plaid print with green and blue hues.

Went perfectly with the theme. He looks youthful and edgy.

WE really dig the black tie on black shirt vibe (we’re seeing it everywhere and going with the “Mono-Color” block trend where you wear one color head to toe in different textures).

At the 2013 Met Gala, Psy wore a red and black micro-checked tuxedo jacket (CROPPED - which is so clever styling because the man is short and adds illusion of height to his frame) over a white shirt and black pants complete with his signature bow tie and sunglasses.

Kanye West in Givenchy. The high neck shirt and simple yet effective black suit just makes the man look like an dope version of a cooples ad. Meaning = He nailed it.

Tom Brady - Sure, I mean who need to try when you have a super model on your arm. But.. Tom brings the fashion guns blazing and embraces the PUNK theme with color. Blue suits are a huge trend for 2013 in menswear.

One of the WORST DRESSED at the Met Gala - Sorry to be a hater -

Tiger Woods - Brother has game, but definitely not in the fashion courts.

The boxy jacket and clunky pants remind us of the bad parts of the 80’s and awkward scenes from Glengarry Glen Ross.
