Men’s wear goes back to black. Discover your dark side with one of the most tempting trends of the season.
In this hectic modern world, Twitter has become a cool and succinct way of communicating. It allows me to be accessible, instantly speak my mind, and connects me with all kinds of people. Whether it’s a fashion question or you just want to comment on life’s bigger picture, I’d love to hear from you.

@Jeanne_Beker: Yikes! Only 2 more summer wknds left. What’s the one thing on your summer hit list you haven’t yet done?? @theuncagedbird A vacation. Would love to be on the beach or camping. @Jeanne_Beker Just DO IT!! #lifeistooshort @SeptembreA Have a fabulous lobster dinner and read on the beach. @Jeanne_Beker I could definitely get into that!! @JoAnnePulfer but technically summer isn’t over until Sept 21 when the solstice hits again, the school holiday is almost over :) @Jeanne_Beker True, but Labour Day kind of wraps it for me.....
@Jeanne_Beker: This @1LouiseK ennedy ‘60s inspired gold lame coat is chic perfection! Simple, modern glamour...
@Jeanne_Beker: My Bekky @qualityslippers moves to Montreal tomorrow :( Now both kids will have flown the coop. Suggestions for dealing with my empty nest? @ALittleCavalier take up knitting? Start a cat farm? Joking! They’ll always love you, no matter how far away they are; you’re still their mom!
The men’s wear designers found themselves in a dark place this season, with everything from grunge to Gestapo-esque styles on show. Oh, and apparently leather trousers aren’t just for George Michael or men that attend cage dancing and fetish parties. Let’s leave S&M until later and delve into the darkness to discover some of this autumn’s delights.

@Medibrat more puppies! @GRobin Enjoy the solitude. Listen to the quiet. Then make lots of plans. @Jan5220 when you find out please pass it on to me, son moving to Toronto :( @Jeanne_Beker This city will be great for him! Youll have to come visit...
@Jeanne_Beker: Know I just sent this, but didn’t have twitter handle for @CorinthiaLondon. Hotel is beyond sublime!
