On Monday, I got the pleasure to meet Frank Mechaly, designer and owner of Rockstar Sushi Denim.  I met up with him at Rockstar’s corporate office and we chatted about the company, inspirations for designs, his past, and fashion in general.  I instantly became of fan of him as a person and the Rockstar Brand as a whole. 

Frank’s family has been in the denim industry for 4 generations.  He came to California from Paris in 2002.  He has been the man behind great brands such as Blue Cult, Sacred Blue, and 575.  In 2008, he started Rockstar Sushi Denim.  He has grow this business from just denim, to this year rolling out a full collection of Tee’s, belts, cashmere, and jewelry. 

THE INSIDE SCOOP 

Hitting stores soon:

Rockstar is releasing a complete tee shirt/tank top collection.  The pieces are all around bad-ass consisting of clothes pins, carefully made holey look, and acid washed. 

My favorite of the womens tank tops.  You can order the shirts “Custom” which means the pins will be in the shirt or “Classic” which means the pins will not be in the shirts. 

Love the acid wash on this

FLARE JEANS 

The second thing I got got to see thats not out to the public was the new Women’s Flare Cut jeans.   

The simplisity of this flare made it a great go-to everyday jean. 

MEN’S CARGO 

I found the men’s cargo pant to be interesting.  They are avilable in Nordstroms at South Coast Plaza, The Grove, Seatle, Huston Gallaria, Pentagon City, and Nordstrom.com.

The patch work on these cargos are hand sewn. AMAZING 

ROCKSTAR SUSHI’S MOST POPULAR STYLE: THE BIKER

Check out the full collection at www.rockstarsushi.com.

We’ve all seen the new fashionable patterned mens dress shirt. From news casters to movie stars, everyone is wearing them.

In my experience, men are weary of picking out any dress shirt or tie combination, so the thought of throwing in a patterned shirt with a patterned tie may make some men’s heads explode.  I have taken ONE patterned shirt and THREE different ways of wearing it for a variety of occasions.

The patterned shirt that is used in all three looks

For the office

This look consists of a navy Hugo Boss slim fit suit, the Tommy Hilfiger dress shirt, and H&M white tie.  This works because you have the suit to add sophistication but have the youthful dress shirt and white tie to give a fashion forward look.

Night Out

Going out on the town?  Why not funk things up with a bow-tie?  This look consists of a Countess Mara navy and white bow-tie, Dockers D1 slim pants, Converse white All Stars, and Tommy Hilfiger dress shirt.

Casual Prep

This look consists of Dockers D1 slim fit pants, J.Crew boots, Tommy Hilfiger dress shirt and J.Crew tie.  The tie makes this outfit color combination come together.  The rolled Dockers and loss fitting tie, finishes off the relaxed preppy look.

So whatever way is your style, you too can wear the fashion forward patterned dress shirt!
