"I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. People who complain really get on my nerves. When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.”

Beyonce said this, in a recent interview with Complex magazine. There was a time, when I felt the same. It's about time I get back to being that person, again...I liked being him ;-)

Mundo Unico will preview its latest collection “Identidad” which hits stores in September 2011. Unico provides fashion for modern active men that seek comfort, sophistication and elegance and are passionate about fashion and look for unique style.

“Identidad (Spanish for identity) is the concept of who you are and what defines you,” said Olga Lucia Oggioni, General Manager of Unico Interior, LLC. “This collection is inspired by the roots and origins of culture and ancient civilizations of the American continent.”

The names of the pieces relate to native Central and South American Indians and their legacy and its earthy colors reflect the vital meaning of soil and nature, the prime elements of life and prosperity.

Frank Dandy, widely known for having the most comfortable microfiber waistband in the industry, will debut its 2012 Spring/Summer Collection of boxers, trunks and swimwear in an array of colors and patterns. The collection celebrates the urban excitement of cities and countries throughout the world.

“I love the excitement that is unique to Miami,” said Kathy Hawkins of Frank Dandy. “Men here are fearless about fashion and they dress to impress.”

From the shores of Rio de Janeiro, boyRio continues to make a splash. The brand will debut its 2012 swimwear collection at SoBe Men’s this year.

“It is the boy from Ipanema who meets the boy next door- fresh, clean, active, vibrant and sexy,” said David Laing of boyRio. “It represents the passion of Rio, its hedonistic nature, the beach, gorgeous people inside and out and a passion for the ‘good’ life.”

Debuting its active wear collection “Chirp,” especially designed for the SoBe Men’s Show, Bsixtee6 is presenting its intricately hand-sewn garments, complete with unique stitching that’s Bohemian, care free, yet incomparably detailed. The collection is full of vinyl, chambray, sheeted cotton and leather fabrics.

“Men want to be attractive; they want to be sexy,” said Briian Dargon, the designer behind Chirp. “This show embraces all of that!”

"I’m a really big believer that we all have this voice inside of us, and that voice is God talking to us, and we are all magical, and we all have something as specific to do as our fingerprint. And everybody should go out and do that. And I think between the ages of 15 and 32, don’t worry about getting married, don’t worry about settling down, don’t worry about having a baby. Give birth to yourself."

Kelly Cutrone, a fashion publicist and the founder of the public relations, branding and marketing firm People's Revolution.
