Dog Punk

Daft Punk’s fourth studio album Random Access Memories officially drops on May 21st 2013, and in gleeful anticipation here’s Menswear Dog’s loving tribute to the most stylish robots in the game.

The electronic duo have hooked up with Hedi Slimane of high fashion house Saint Laurent this time around to outfit them in one-of-a-kind couture smoking jackets. The hardware is certainly over-the-top but these dudes always know how a suit should fit because these rigs are tailored to perfection.

Here’s a link to the first single and video, Get Lucky featuring fellow style pioneer Pharrell Williams.

Gats & Dogs

Joining in on the unanimous fashion boner that Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby has garnered, here’s Menswear Dog’s take on the opulent classic.

The movie itself is more style than substance but that’s perfect for us because we’re not a movie blog. Baz Luhrmann goes over-the-top decadent in this rendition, but makes sure to pay attention to all the little details that make fashion bloggers go gaga. From collar pins to pattern-mixing to masterfully tailored 3-piece rigs; this is less a movie and more a moving mood board for the roaring twenties…and we’re ok with that. It opened nationwide this weekend so check it out.

“It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such – such beautiful shirts before.” The Great Gatsby, Chapter 5

Game On

You’re gonna hear a lot of noise about baseball jackets this Spring and every brand that know’s what’s what has their own version. It’s basically an extension of the varsity jacket trend that’s everywhere right now in a lighter weight and built for warmer weather. We’re particularly feeling this Members Only version with a denim body and cigar-colored leather sleeves. Get your game on.

Mvsic To Our Ears Remember when the M in MTV stood for music?...

Mvsic To Our Ears

Remember when the M in MTV stood for music? Yeah, neither do we. But that’s exactly what our favorite new website, mvsic.net is hoping to achieve. It’s a simple concept; a website that provides a constant stream of music videos. But these aren’t just your run of the mill dance hits featuring Pitbull; these are highly curated music videos that run the gamut from artsy, to trippy, to haunting, to beautiful, to everything in between. It’s the perfect solution when you need to throw something on the computer during parties, or just have it playing in the background while you pretend to do work.

The site was started in 2012 by Martin Rack and Dominic Frohlof with a simple proposition: resurrecting music videos. Needless to say, we’re hooked. The site is still in its infancy but we’re excited for these dudes and support what they’re doing. Keep it up fellas!

Ties in Bloom

We here at MWD are having a bit of a floral tie moment right now and this post is no exception. We’re particularly obsessed with the selection over at General Knot & Co.

MWD Would You Wear It?

We recently checked out Justin Timberlake’s new video for his followup single Mirrors and love him or hate him, dude’s slick as shit.

He doesn’t show up until the last half of the video but when he does, he’s donning an impeccably tailored black-on-black-on-black Tom Ford turtleneck / topcoat / suit trouser ensemble doing his JT dance thing. That’s all well and good but the real star of the video and what caught our eye has got to be these vicious Louboutin’s he’s rocking. That’s right, Christian Louboutin’s for men, complete with red soles and totally unnecessary metal wingtip. Can’t lie though, we’re kinda digging them, especially the black on black version seen above.

The model is called the Louboutin Gareth Zip and seem to be sold out online but I’m sure with some digging you can find them…also, if you have $1200 to spare on novelty dress shoes.

MWD asks, would you wear it?

Dress Up Your Denim, Dress Down Your Suit

There’s no easier way to dress down a stuffy outfit than with a denim jacket. The combo brings a sense of casual ease while still looking put together. Despite what JT says, sometimes it’s just not appropriate to show up in a full suit. Loosen the tie to complete the look.

MWD Required Viewing: Kavinsky’s ‘Protovision’

Coming from the maker of the iconic synth-laced intro theme to one of our favorite movies Drive, Kavinsky shows here that he’s ready to take the wheel. It could have easily become a Drive knockoff, and there are certainly similarities, but this video is done in a style all its own and executed to perfection. Props to director Marcus Herring for the extended 80’s chase sequence featuring a badass vintage red Ferrari Testarossa. The video also showcases Kavinsky donning a varsity jacket and old-school Nike kicks that’ll make you want to ebay your last paycheck away. Watch and lust.

MWD Required Reading: Vintage Menswear: A Collection from The Vintage Showroom

Not our typical kind of post but we had to share our love for this book. This is no Mackelmore’s guide to thrift shopping; this is legit education about the history of menswear. If you’ve ever wondered what the difference between a hunting jacket and a sportsman’s hunting coat is, this will teach you and so much more. This is a great resource to develop your fashion vocabulary so you know what you’re wearing.
