Homophobic Remarks: The designers have made controversial statements about same-sex parenting and in vitro fertilization, resulting in criticism and boycotts from LGBTQ+ communities.

H&M: A Lesson in Sensitivity H&M, a global fashion retailer, faced a major PR crisis in 2018 when it released an advertisement featuring a Black child wearing a hoodie with the text “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle.” The incident sparked accusations of racism and led to widespread boycotts.

From the Silver Screen to the Streets Embracing Guy Ritchie's Menswear Mastery

Today, I'm diving deep into the world of cinematic style, where the streets of London serve as the runway and every frame is an exhibition of unparalleled elegance and charisma. I'm talking about the well-curated men's fashion universe masterfully crafted by the visionary director, Guy Ritchie.

In the realm of cinema, Ritchie is renowned for his distinct flair, blending razor-sharp wit with gritty realism, and his films are a testament to his keen eye for detail, including the impeccable sartorial choices of his characters.

Let's take a stroll through the cobblestone streets and back alleys of London, where every man is a sartorial maestro, dressed to the nines in bespoke suits and exuding an air of effortless sophistication.

First up, we have the iconic "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." In this gritty crime caper, Ritchie introduces us to a motley crew of characters, each with their own unique sense of style. From the dapper suits of the gangsters to the rugged charm of the street hustlers, every outfit is meticulously crafted to reflect the personality of its wearer. It's a symphony of textures and patterns, where tweed meets leather and pinstripes mingle with denim.

Next on our sartorial journey is the quintessential British gangster flick, "Snatch." Here, Ritchie once again showcases his talent for blending high fashion with streetwise sensibility. Whether it's Brad Pitt's ruggedly stylish boxer or Jason Statham's impeccably tailored enforcer, every character in "Snatch" is a lesson in sartorial swagger. The suits are sharp, the accessories are sleek, and the attitude is undeniably cool.

But perhaps the crown jewel of Ritchie's menswear mastery lies in his more recent works, such as "The Gentlemen." Set in the glamorous world of British organized crime, this film is a veritable feast for the eyes, with every frame dripping in opulence and sophistication. From the perfectly tailored suits of the suave protagonist, played by yours truly, to the flamboyant attire of the eccentric supporting characters, "The Gentlemen" is a celebration of all things sartorial.

What sets Ritchie's approach to men's style apart is his ability to blend tradition with innovation, effortlessly bridging the gap between classic elegance and contemporary cool. His characters are not just dressed to impress; they're dressed to command attention, to make a statement, and to leave a lasting impression.

So what can we learn from these cinematic icons of style? Well, for starters, confidence is key. Whether you're rocking a three-piece suit or a leather jacket and jeans, wear it like you own it. And don't be afraid to inject a bit of personality into your wardrobe. Whether it's a bold pattern or a statement accessory, it's the little details that set you apart from the crowd.

So, gentlemen, take note from the master himself. Whether you're navigating the mean streets of London or holding court in the boardroom, remember that style is not just about what you wear—it's about how you wear it. With confidence, charisma, and a touch of Ritchie-esque swagger, you too can conquer the world in impeccable style.

Embroidery being the soul of an outfit, I believe 'the right use of embroidery at the right place in the fabric' is sure to enhance the garment. Point to keep in mind is that the embellishment & embroidery is not supposed to overshadow the texture of the fabric but enrich the fabric and the patterns. I love to use the Chikankari and the Kalamkari embroidery on the delicate fabrics like Chiffons, Georgettes or crepe back silks. Aari, Zardosi, Phulkari and Kalamkari embroidery can also be used on the Charmuse, Tafettas or silk Zebelines. With fabrics having natural fall like taffetas we can play with a wide range of embroideries and embellishments. For fabrics like organza silks and plain pure silks, we can go for Zardosi, shisha work and stones embellishments which will add a regal touch to the fabrics and garments. Heavy embroidery may spoil the beauty of Brocades and Paithanis as they generally have patterns and woven motifs . In such cases, and especially in an haute couture garment the embroidery and embellishments should be subtle and at the right places. www.shalakapandit.com #purefabrics #georgettes #finechiffon #flowygeorgettes #weddingoutfitfabric #handloomfabric #handweaves #patterns #puresilks #rawsilk #crepefabric #Indianfabric #fashion #zardosi #kalamkari #chikankari #fashionlessons #myfashionidea #aariwork #chic #elegant #fashionable #fashiondesigner #hautecouture #fashionista #bridalcouture #trendy #pune #shalakapandit #weddingtrousseau #shalakapanditcouture #punefashion #punewedding #needlecraft

Sometimes fashion is art, sometimes art is fashion. ✨ When the two meet, it can be really beautiful for someone who has an eye for both. Personally, I love dressing up to go anywhere. A museum, a promenade, a fashion or charitable event - you name it! Fashion helps me with more than just looking well-dressed. It romanticizes my life, making me feel like I like an aesthetic of my own. 🤩 I like feeling out of a movie. How about you? Do you only dress up for occasions or do you like romanticizing life on any given day? 🌸...keep designing and crafting for you all...@jennifertattanelli . . . . #fashion #shoes #fashionbrand #suit #elegantstyle #oldfashion #suitstyle #italianbrand #Italy #Florence #whattowear #menwithstyle #menwithclass #onlineshopping #womenfashion #designerclothes #winterlooks #elegantshoes #outfitinspiration #outfitideasformen #outfitideas #christmasaesthetics #fashionlessons #livinginamovie #Italianstyle #fashiondesigner #romanticizeyourlife #fashionaesthetics #aestheticoutfits #ShopWoodburyVillage (at Jennifer Tattanelli) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSxlcbrRhu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
