KANYE WEST VOTED GQ MOST STYLISH MAN OF THE YEAR

The bold Yeezus Kanye West Voted GQ Most Stylish Man of the Year by GQ readers, facing off against British charmer Idris Elba to take the top honor. The magazine praised the rapper’s forward-thinking style.

Earlier this year, West was featured on the magazine’s cover for a feature article about his status in the fashion industry and opened up about previous comments regarding the difficulty he’s encountered breaking in.

“From bomber jackets to Chelsea boots to over-sized coats, Kanye helped define what this year meant to men in terms of the things they wear, and we think his place as champion in this tournament was earned” GQ said on its website.

While initial plans for West’s collaboration with adidas hinted at a fall drop-date for the next installment of his increasingly coveted Yeezy sneakers, the follow-up has yet to be released and looks to be slated for an early 2015 debut instead. Nonetheless, 2014 saw the last of his collaborations with Nike released in the form of an already legendary all-red color-way of his Yeezy 2’s. The rapper also released two collaborative lines with the high-end French fashion brand A.P.C., the latest of which included a $780 bomber jacket and a $90 plain white tee.

TOP 10 BEST JEANS FOR MEN

Jeans: they're an essential part of any man’s wardrobe, yet it’s notoriously difficult to find ‘that perfect pair’. It becomes more of a challenge for the truly fashion forward individual whose quest becomes finding many pairs of stylish and perfectly fitting denims. With an almost endless choice of colors, cuts, finishes, washes and textures, it’s tough to know where to start. Well, here to help is Differio’s menswear denim expert Mario Leonardi, who’s compiled a list of the best jeans a stylish man can own based on design innovation, style and quality.

TRUE RELIGION

True Religion

True Religion is an all-stitched American denim. There’s no doubt about its roots – like America, True Religions shouts its heritage loud and proud with highly distinguishable stitching. These are definitely not for those who prefer to avoid obvious labeling on their jeans. However, if you’re looking to get noticed, True Religion could be your ticket.

GLIMMS

Glimms New York

Glimms

New York brand Glimms is a newcomer, but is sure to quickly make its mark given their fashion forward approach. Tending towards slim fit and an urban look, their jeans are proving extremely popular with fashion conscious men. Look out for them as the expand both in availability and style choices. 

G-STAR RAW

G-Star Raw

G-Star Raw jeans feature an attractive combination of raw and modern design. Guided by strong Dutch influences, these jeans sport impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail, high quality fabric and perfect fit. Their classic construction has a handmade feel, standing head and shoulders above the high-volume generic crowd.

FRENCH CONNECTION

French Connection

This brand needs no introduction – French Connection UK (FCUK) is one of the most popular brands on the planet. Their risque acronym initially garnered them lots of press – however, it’s their attention to fit and fashion that has ensured they’ve remained a fashion heavyweight rather than become another witty passing fad. Now that you don’t have to worry about your mom misreading the tag and throwing them out, a pair of FCUK jeans is a must have for any stylish man’s collection.

AUSTERLICH GRIZZLY

Austerlich Grizzly

Austerlich Grizzly Jeans

Chances you’re not a cowboy, but like many of us you may be a cowboy at heart (some nights more than others). To dress the part, snap up a pair of Austerlich Grizzly. These button fly jeans are rodeo-strong yet incredibly comfortable. Their attention to detail is without question –Austerlich Grizzly actually shapes their jeans slightly differently than most other brands to provide the perfect fit.

TAKESHI KUROSAWA

Takeshi Kurosawa

A Japanese line of designer jeans?? Not quite – Takeshi Kurosawa is a 100% Italian line. Constructed and sewn in Italy, these jeans are unique in that they use high-quality Japanese fabrics – thus the name. Takeshi Kurosawa has set out to create not just a brand of clothing but a lifestyle. Their expansion and continued production of stylish and great fitting jeans seems to suggest they’re doing a great job!

STAFF JEANS & CO

Staff Jeans & Co

Staff Jeans & Co

Greek brand Staff Jeans & Co. creates jeans for free spirits; for the chill nights and the party nights. There’ll be no need to worry about the spilled wine or grazes taken – these distressed jeans only look better and better after washes and use. Their urban, hip designs are guaranteed to get you the looks you want when you step out.

DSQUARED

Dsquared

This is easily one of my favorites. Designers Dean and Dan truly know their fashion, and as such can take risks and make adventurous choices that others could not. The Canadian identical twin brothers have designed for huge names such as Madonna, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ricky Martin. Their often sophisticated and always fashion forward designs remain surprising clean. Their jeans, using bold patterns and textures, are for the playful man not afraid to make a statement.

DIESEL

Diesel

Another industry heavyweight, Italian brand Diesel was one of the first making designer jeans for men having been around since 1978. With this kind of experience and history, you can be sure that their high end streetwear is going to look great every time. Their fit is second to none as well – a dizzying variety of length/waist combinations and over 100 styles means finding a near-custom fit is easier than most other brands.

THE HOT CHILD

The Hot Child Junk 

While at first the idea may elicit a chuckle, the world’s “first anatomically-designed jeans with a man’s junk in mind” has the fashion world sitting up and taking notice. An exaggerated contoured fly with a rounded gusset underneath the crotch means you’ll no longer be dressing to the left or the right, but rather your, ahem, anatomy will fall into the contour pouch naturally. Oh, and the fly is always buttoned as opposed to zip-up – for the safety of your ‘stuff’. Check out their sleek ‘Dank’ model.

The Hot Child Junk Jeans rounded gusset.

NEW YORK MENSWEAR FASHION SCENE WELCOMES DIFFERIO

MANHATTAN, N.Y., New York is undoubtedly the urban fashion capital of the world. However, only a few e-commerce fashion companies are based there; many are situated abroad (London, Italy, Stockholm), and even stateside, large retailers often choose other locales including San Francisco and even Ohio.

 While this may be good for a company’s bottom line, it results in it being removed from the New York menswear fashion scene, the epicentre of the fashion world. Differio.com, knowing that to be a trendsetter one must exist where trends are created, is bringing a unique and exciting but decidedly New York approach to menswear out of their Manhattan offices.

Differio’s mission goes far beyond simply selling clothes – they seek to inspire fashion lovers by being different. This is most evident in the lines carried. While the most fashion-forward larger brands such as French Connection (FCUK), Lavenham London and Canadian brand Gregg Homme are included, the lion’s share are from emerging independent labels and designers. New York is represented by the JetlagUSA brand along with Austerlich Grizzly and Glimms, which are both exclusively carried by Differio. Other exclusives include LA brands such as James Calehan, Waiquiri, and The Hot Child Junk as well as Daniel Patrick and Civil Society. Differio introduces to the USA market the wildly popular Staff Jeans & Co brand from Greece. Differio also offers Italy’s Lost & Found, MC2 St Barth, the Spanish brand Punto Blanco and many more. With one of the widest selections in menswear online shopping, fashion lovers can now buy the most stylish of not just jeans, trousers, shirts and jackets—but also sweaters and knitwear, blazers and suits, shorts, activewear, beachwear, vintage clothing, jewellery, bags, high fashion underwear like the daring Gregg Homme line—and everything in between.

This dedication to innovation doesn’t stop with the product. One look at Differio.com will make it clear this isn’t your stereotypical e-commerce company. With a new style of photography and its own unique look, the website resembles no other out there. Daring, edgy and bold, it states that Differio has no interest in what others are doing—instead, the company is looking to make a new path all its own.

“Why do all e-commerce websites have to look the same?” wonders Differio Chairman CEO Jimmy Chrabieh. “Why do all models have to stand straight? Men’s ideas about shopping, clothing and fashion are changing. We want to be the website that caters to their needs. Today the customer needs originality; a new offering, but at an affordable price. These are clothes for men who are not afraid to show their identity; men who are original and trendsetters.”

Differio is New York fashion – but most importantly, Differio is Fashion Different.
