NATHAN SAWAYA'S LEGO FANTASIES (feat. FASHION ACCESSORIES)

If you live in New York, the chances are you probably walk by this poster at least once in the subway station. The talented New York based artist best known for its custom three-dimensional sculptures and large-scale mosaics from popular everyday items and is best known for his work with standard LEGO toy bricks.

Before Playstation became every teenage boy's household item, Lego was an important part of childhood. You start with a small box of Legos, carefully follow the instruction and recreate the scene on the box display. As you build up your ego (and prove that you are capable of reading and following instructions), you move forward to bigger box. With more variety of bricks and increasingly complex project, Lego is as fun as watching batman movies. The only thing I didn't know... is if you can manage 15000-25000 of those little pieces, you can build something so amazing... like a life form human being.

What happen when Nathan meets Fashion? Allow me to introduce you to Nathan's fashion fantasies. His work is not only eye pleasing, every single one delivers its own story and emotions and creativities.

GET THAT TAN LINE! MEN'S SWIMWEAR SPECIAL!

#053 - Men's Swim Suits and Trunks

Versace 

Welcome back from the long weekend! As usual, it feels too short and the inevitable hangover is still rolling inside your head somewhere. For those of you who get to spend time at a beach, did you get to show off your workout results? For me, besides being burnt by the microwaving sun light, I was slightly intimated by all these beach ready figures walking around me. Although it's hard to compare my body with the streamy others, I am pleased to see more guys have started to wear modern swimwear instead of the stone age 12 inches board shorts. Therefore, my dear Gents, let me present you this special post featuring some of your favorite designers swimwear and yes... 'that workout body'.

Have a happy work week, remember when you in doubt, always come back and check out Style 4 Gents for reference and inspirations!

Like underwear some people prefer brief better and others enjoy the limitless in the boxer. Swimwear has gone through a similar revolution. When a shorter, less bulky version of short trunks emerged in the U.S market, people were originally hesitated. It took some time for Americans to finally open their minds and understand that a fitted garment compensates a figure better. Your Old Navy long board shorts doesn't. 

The swimwear industry is also booming, when newer brands come to the market and offer more variety of items for us. Onia, Orlebar Brown... Depends on your preference you will find plenty of choices to fit your budget. Bottom line? Don't limit to yourself to one style and open up yourself to options. 

Go workout and show off, you only live once.

HOW TO WEAR DOUBLE-BREASTED SUITS IN THE SUMMER

#050 - Double-breasted Suits

'Honestly, it's not easy to wear suits in the summer'

With temperature swinging between the 70s and 80s, it isn't too hard to imagine the suffering of wearing layers while walking down the street in the middle of New York. But damn! Man just look good in a suit, period!

Personally, I think pulling off a double-breasted jacket is tricky. Most of the time people regard its trendy but formal style, but a wrong style might also cause you be mistaken as a Donald Trump.  

Well, we got some tips for you. 

Sometimes the magic between formal and causal cocktails a style that is  dynamic, fun yet very forward and impressive. And I call it Hollywood Smart Casual. The 'they-don't-care' celebrities effortlessly steal your attention with a simple white tee-shirt and a suit jacket. Turns out not only it works for them, it is also fairly easy for us gents.

The Emporio Armani suits (Top) in a rich light grey color is all you need to steal the show. The best thing about a subtle color is... it allows you to dress up and down and fits into different occasions. But you won't feel over/underdress. 

   

(Above) For formal dinner or cocktail situation, simply match the white shirt with dark color suit. Whether you decide to go with a tie or not, your double-breasted suit could be your one way ticket to the great impression.

Whether wayfarer or aviator style, the plastic (or metals) that we carry on top of our nose has made us mysterious and somehow... cool & sexy. Therefore, besides working out and making our muscles pop on the beach, gents need to know how to put on a nice pair to impress the others. 

And these are the top picks for you!

MEN'S BACKSTAGE EXCLUSIVE VIDEO RELEASE

045 - Fashion x Music?

Men's Backstage has just released their second teaser to the public and aroused a small wave in the New York area. The modest luxury boutique highlights its belief to link men's fashion to the world of art. 

The video features their collaborating music partner - East Coast Islands, an uprising musical group formed by two brothers, playing one of their new songs from their new 2014 album. The boutique has confirmed its carrying of Jachs clothing as part of their 2014 summer collection (The shirts in the video by Jachs). As far as the teaser goes, I am excited to see the full version of the video when the store launches on May 15th and other products the store will be carrying in the future. 

Keep up the good work! Watch the video here -> Men's Backstage.
