Main Men trends Fall-Winter 2010-2011

Hello everyone after vacation! Even if in Paris these days the sky is blue and the sun is still shining we can't forget that the winter is coming. To be ready for new Fall Winter season we made a little review of trends and propose you to have a look.
Colors which designers offer for men this season are mostly dark: black, grey, brown, deep green, etc.


Black is classic, whatever people say I never feel tired to be repeating that again and again. Many designers created black items. Some outfits were total black, others came combined with lighter tones.


Grey and metallic have been competing for popularity with black but none could win. And we see lots of ensembles with this hue included.


Greens, dark green in particular, have also been chosen by some couturiers. And there is no wonder. We all miss the summer with it’s greenery and warmth.


Plaids,prints and stripes were introduced to many items: shirts, vests, pants, etc. These patterns give an urban outlook and a fresh perspective to men’s wardrobes

Paris Men Fashion week SS 2011

As you know this week end Paris Men Fashion week passed. And U-NI-TY participated salon in Tranoi for 3 days. We think this season was very successful for us, we found new clients from Dubai, Russia, Switzerland, United States and Japan and our old clients were very satisfied with the new SS 2011 collection.

U-NI-TY this season presented fresh collection based on blue, grey, navy colors and its trademark - tailoring, patchwork, worked jackets with a lot of details and absolutely amazing and huge collection of scarfs.

60s is back!

As you can understand the main idea of the new SS 2011 collection is the spirit of the 60s. So we decided to make a little fashion review of these unforgettable era)


1960s fashion for men was not as revolutionary as it was for women but there was a lot of change. Ties, belts and lapels got wider, collars got longer and wider and a modified version of the bell bottom called "flared" became popular. The conserative men's suit took on some geometric design along with the flare in the pants leg and wider lapels. Sport shirts were the norm for causal wear with the polo style being the most popular.


Men were not immune from the British invasion however and some very Mod influences managed to creep into what was once the ultra conserative men's business attire. Patterns grew bolder as did color choices. No longer were blue, black or grey the only suit choices. Ties and shirts became more colorful as well.


By the end of the sixties some fashions were here to stay, the flaired dress slack would remain in style for another decade ties and lapels didn't skinny up for another 20 - 25 years either. But among the young crowd anything that was different from the norm was cool, hip and definetly groovy.

les culottes courtes de retour by hommeurbain.wordpress.com

Voici enfin l’été, il était temps. Nous allons enfin pouvoir porter des shorts et bermuda. Depuis l’été 2009, les marques de luxe et de créateurs font défiler des hommes vêtus de mini-shorts arrivant en haut des cuisses, parfois à mi-cuisse. Une tendance que l’on retrouve aussi dans les collections 2010, mais malheureusement encore très rarement dans la rue. Commercialement, ça fonctionne mal. Les marques de streatwear et jeaners prennent moins de risque avec des bermudas tombant au niveau du genou. Voici une sélection issue des collections été 2010.
