\"Eaden<\/a>
\"BlackBird<\/a>We have a long lasting relationship with Europe \u2013 containing one of the leading fashion weeks in the world – London Fashion Week. which is known for its emerging talent, clean aesthetic, and impeccable tailoring.<\/p>\n

In no particular order, we have \u00a0provided a shortlist of designers who yield to the needs or desires of men who want everything to fit like a T-shirt, meaning \u201canti-baggy rapper look, circa-1990s\u201d<\/p>\n

To this extent, some may believe that men\u2019s fashion is mundane; hardly leaving room for its expansion beyond impeccably cut suits or fitted T-shirts (graphics or plain).However, these African fashion designers create male fashions: clean cut yet edgy, immersed in the conventional \u00a0yet simultaneously disregarding it.<\/p>\n

To put a spin on why each designer was selected, we took the overall characteristics of each design aesthetic and found some resemblance to what we would require in a male mate (in a romantic sense). After all, we love<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>what we wear\u2026.(we believe that\u2019s how the saying should go).<\/p>\n

  1. Truthful: <\/b>True to fit, Eaden Myles<\/a> collections are fitted and form flattering to males of varying physic.<\/li>\n
  2. Powerful:<\/b>\u00a0 Bringing enlightenment through fashion and style through storytelling are the designers of 54 Kingdoms<\/a>.\u00a0 Their fashion house is designed specifically with the mission of producing quality pieces for males (yes and the ladies as well),<\/li>\n
  3. Colorful:<\/b> Okay, okay. Perhaps this might only apply to a member of the Peacock species but we do adore\u00a0a man who can wear color, prints and patterns. And do it with pride and a slight hint of cockiness. The\u00a0designers to go to in this instance\u2026? Black Bird Designs<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Tailored: <\/b>We understand men go through their developmental stages. We respect that, however in true\u00a0male fashion every real man must go through this process of refinement.\u00a0 Much like the fashions from the fashion house Maze Couture<\/a> .\u00a0 Maze Couture takes a refined perspective towards the Kaftan, a traditional garb, and modernizes it for the everyday fashionisto.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
