Hey Guys! quick update from Fashion week! I told myself I was going to take a break this season but somehow it lured me in last minute like a bug to a lightbulb. The first couple days are always exciting for menswear because that’s when they showcase most of the shows. Firing off the season was New york Men’s Day which hosts about 10 designers, all with different aesthetics. Nick and I hopped between Ernest Alexander, to Timo Weiland, Carlos Campos, my favorite, Garcia Valez and more. My style over the years has toned down a lot so I took to liking the more wearable, neutral collections. Per usual there was a lot of navy’s, grey’s and black but it would’ve been nice to see more camel, or muted browns. I’m biased though because I’m having a 70s moment.
When we hire our new Fashion editor (end of month) He/she will be covering a lot of stuff like this. Fashion week, trends, trend forecasting, colors, models etc. all to do with menswear. Someone asked me today if I would consider reporting womenswear since it’s 70 percent of the industry but here’s the thing- the menswear market is growing very, very rapidly and there’s also just not enough websites that speak in a personal tone. Sure you have Hypebeast, Selectism and big publications like GQ or Details etc. but I want to be at the forefront of ‘Menswear with a personal, and unique voice’ So the foundation of many articles to come with be solely based on opinion or thought. It won’t be filtered through a corperate chain or approved by 3 different boss’s, it will be honest and raw. It will be GALLA. Would love to hear some feedback on that so fire away!
Oh ps. So excited this is my last day trekking to the shows in the cold. Tomorrow I head west for pre-oscar, campaign Hollywood week in LA! Big thanks to Chrysler for teaming up with me! Cant wait to show you what we have in the works…

I think you should definitely voice your opinion on whatever you feel like. Also, you are right, menswear is gonna blow up. And with the NYFW Mens Edition coming up, it’s gonna get even bigger. So yes, stick to this.
Also, it would be great if you could mention what picture is from which collection. Makes it easy to comprehend and navigate.
The idea is interesting and I like it personally. Honestly, I think that it’s thanks to your unique voice that you’ve succeded and stood out. So whatever you do, maintain this attitude on IAMGALLA even if you’ll have more employees working for you. I’ve been following your blog since autumn ’14 and this point is what I have appreciated the most.
Ps. A question: Why aren’t you part of the NYFW shows yourself??
Great coverage of the NYFW Galla! Awesome pics by Nick too. Hope to see more posts like these in the future. You absolutely right about the personal touch to your posts. That is what differentiates you from the bigger fashionblogs, and keeps GALLA unique and personal although the GALLA community seems to be growing rapidly!
Keep up the good work! Cheers!

I spotted some really nice looks !

I really like the perspective of the camera angles chosen by Nick. He definitely compliments the imagery and focus on great mens fashion I’ve come to associate with IAMGALLA. I also echo all by saying you should definitely continue filtering your critiques based on your personal point of view and not just reporting on what’s trendy or selling at the moment. I know I’ve taken a ton of sartorial inspiration based on your personal instincts on what looks good and makes for great mens fashion.
Those pieces are soooooo good!!!! Anyway, whatever you plan to do, just do it! (that sounds familiar) The thing I really like about your blog is that your blog shows me what I need to see as one of menswear blogger, which is the rapid development of menswear. How it is rapidly and continuously developing without us knowing, just like your style and your opinion on menswear, especially on the fashion week’s. I remembered when I saw your old style on Lookbook, and comparing it with your today’s style would be easily seen how fast your style has been developing. That’s why I’m so looking forward to reading more posts, opinions or thought from you about the menswear! Oh, and goodluck for your next project! Cheers!

Please don’t change a thing! I love how personal it is. It’s seriously impossible to find some true fashion blogs out there that show a normal day outfit and not some crazy thing that I could never wear out here in San Diego.
Your’e one of the reasons I wanted to start blogging. You’re doing great please keep it up!
Yeah, I agree with Tyler. Having been interested in men’s fashion since the 1970’s, I have seen a lot of things come and go. And come back again! Your personal touch makes everything you wear look timeless. Keep up the good work!
Which designer designed the collection show in the first image at the top of the page ?
NYFW is looking good. I’m excited to see what you have planned in L.A. Keep up the good work.
Yep got to agree, love to read a blogpost that is raw, honest and come from one honest opinion. Highly support this idea but why do u hire a fashion editor? wouldn’t the opinion comes from the editor instead of you? Ill still read you blog nevertheless! A platform of men fashion where i truly enjoy!

I’m so jealous (in a good way :)) that you got to be at NYFW! Everything on this article looks so amazing, and I just can’t wait to start reading your posts about menswear fashion and trends. Will definitely be one of my favorite sections. Have fun at the Oscars!

I attended some of these events myself and I can definitely say that I am very excited for menswear. I think you covering menswear is the very thing that sets you apart. People love it which is why you’ve gained the following you have and sticking to it is what I imagine you would do. As a male blogger myself, being at the “forefront of Menswear with a personal, and unique voice” is what I strive for as well. The menswear industry is rapidly growing but there are not enough outlets reporting it which explains why womenswear is 70%. It’s up to fellow men like us to make that change and be the influence. I love what you’re doing. I have been reading your blog since I was in the 10th grade. I’m now a sophomore in college. Please keep this up.

NYFW also has a very nice look. Especially the colors of the season is great!
I love your idea. Personalization is best…there are too many generic websites out there. Be proud of the Galla brand, cement it, support it, and run with it. It is already a massive success. With regards to the looks, I’m no fashion expert, but they all look solid. Great coverage as always.
