MESHworthy chicks are a sweet mystery. They are candy to the eye while also being provocatively exciting. They are elegantly flawed and effortlessly stylish. Always the object of desire, a MESHworthy chick is admired and hated all at once. Ladies, are you one?

Well, an undeniably MESHworthy chick is talented actress and future mother to my children Zoë Saldana. Yes, I do a post about her nearly every month, but I can’t help it. She’s captivating and her beauty intrigues me. It doesn’t hurt that she is fly and takes risk with her fashion or the fact that she is just plain sexy.

Check out some photos from MESHworthy chick Nicki Minaj’s Fader Magazine shoot.

I’ll never forget how I thought she was a imitation Lil’ Kim when I first heard of her….Oh, how she has changed my mind.

MESHworthy and Oscar worthy (winning!) Mo’Nique did the damn thing and MESH. is proud…Congrats! (Also congrats to Geoffrey Fletcher for being the first African American screenwriter to win an Academy Award).

Here’s until the next batch of the MESHworthy women in life.

Outlandish snowboard boots aside, Pharrell Williams is just too cool for school.

Today marks a sad day in the fashion world as famed and beloved designer Alexander McQueen was found dead this morning in London. Known for his modern and innovative designs, McQueen was a praised designer who understood what was new and next in fashion. Bold, experimental and daring, McQueen was a budding legend in the fashion world and him as well as his works will be cherish and missed.

Popular brand Lacoste works my nerves. I can’t stand overly saturated brands (like Polo Ralph Lauren) and everyone’s uncanny desire to purchase their clothes–wanting quantity instead of individualistic quality. But I must say, the lookbook for Lacoste Red goes in. The vivid colors are used brilliantly and dare I say there are a few articles I am interested in.

One word generates billions of dollars, is one of the sincerest forms of self-expression, and is quickly becoming important to every American.

Fashion.

Fashion does what so many things can’t. It inspires, it demands, it sells, it offends, and it awes.  So let’s be awed by a couple of things in fashion.

First this incredible ad by Alexander McQueen featuring those oddly yet sickeningly innovative shoes of his.

Okay. It’s the day before your first day of seventh grade. You’ve got the flyest new Jordan’s and a fresh first-day fit picked out. What’s missing? Your brand spankin’ new Jansport book bag of course.  There was nothing like having that fresh book bag packed with your new school supplies.

Tom Ford is my favorite designer. The tailoring of his suits are impeccable, the style of his eye-wear is sickening and the refreshingly appropriate sleaze of his ads is intriguing. His designs command sophistication, sex appeal, and attention. Enter the world of Tom Ford.

So you’ve got the fashion thing down. You are well aware that in today’s society being a fashionably conscious man is damn near a requirement and that being well versed in labels, cuts, styles, and colors is expected. Good, welcome to the MESHlife. Now, go look in your closet and tell me what you see. If your closet floors are adorned in nothing but the latest sneakers, hi-tops, Space Jams, etc…we’ve still got work to do. It’s 2010 and as always I have to encourage young men of our generation to aspire to equip their wardrobe’s with more ‘grown-man’ kicks. Of course, their is nothing wrong with buying or wanting to buy the latest Supra’s or Creative Recreations, but I think it’s time that we also try to snatch great shoes that compliment our new found ‘grown-man’ style.  Need inspiration?

We’ve shown you a preview of the shoe line [here] and now want you to take a peek at the ‘Sweet Charity’ bag collection from designer Christian Louboutin.

The colors are amazing in my opinion.

Yea, they probably cost close to half of your semester tuition at school but if you got it, flaunt it.

Check some of their head bands out.

Fashion magazines always tickle my fancy. Flipping through the pages of GQ, Esquire, Details or even Complex or Vibe can give a feeling of inspiration or confidence in one’s fashion. It’s fun to get new ideas for your own personal style and to see some interesting new fashion pieces. Fashion literature is an integral aspect of the conscious stylish individual’s ability to maintain their fly, their steez. Well, I’ve found a book that caters to history and uniqueness of American menswear fashion.Have a peek at American Fashion Menswear by Robert E. Bryan.

The book looks to showcase the evolution of American men’s fashion. From the practical and functional to the stylish and extravagant, men’s fashion has been as important in America has women’s. The book also shows powerful icons that have shaped fashion as well as the classic looks that still remain inspiration for today’s fashion.

Fashion house Chloé (made famous in the 70’s by its famous former designer Karl Lagerfeld) is now known for one thing, its bags. The Paddington Bag is the house’s famous staple and a bag most girls aspire to own. Over the past couple of decades, the fashion empire has only catered to women. Well, shit happens and things change.  Introducing the Mr. Paddington Bag line, the first exploration of men’s bags by Chloé.

If they are anything like their female counterparts, they will cost a pretty penny. It’s good to know fashion is continually opening up more and more to the male audience. Guys can be fly too!
