In preparation for Philadelphia Fashion Week, I was checking out the designers that will be showing their collections. I came across Commonwealth Proper and was immediately impressed. Being that I'm not normally checking out men's fashions, this is kind of a surprise. There is just something about the fit of these button-downs that is really appealing. Not too tight, not too roomy. They seem to show off the male physique in a really classy way.
I especially love the photography that has the sleeves rolled up. It kind of makes me wonder why there aren't more modern 3/4 or 1/2 sleeve options for men. Mens' forearms are so "manly", and if they are tattooed to boot (swoon).
Commonwealth Proper will be part of the October 10, 2009 shows at the Art Institute of Philadelphia.
