Índice para October - November 2021 em Da Man

While we were wrapping up this issue of DA MAN, awards season started. It was certainly exciting to see the Met Gala return to its former offline glory, along with the 2021 Emmy Awards, the opening gala for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the Tony Awards, the MTV VMAs and the various international film festivals. As always, a big draw of those events is the red-carpet appearances, where what is worn can be just as important as who wears it. In short: The return of red-carpet events is a big win for fashion. As it so happens, our October/November 2021 edition also sees an uptick of fashion features. We have our usual lineup of celebrities, of course, including the multi-talented Reeve Carney gracing our cover, Max Osinski with tales…

Taking The Helm Having launched BAPE almost thirty years ago, Nigo has since acted as creative director at Uniqlo’s UT brand and partnered with Louis Vuitton to create a capsule collection. But his sartorial journey doesn’t stop there. Now, the streetwear legend has been named the new artistic director of Kenzo, becoming the first Japanese designer to helm the brand since its founder, Kenzo Takada. Aside from the comparisons between the two Japanese designers, Nigo’s cultural influence and inspiration around him should also play a considerable role at Kenzo. Nigo succeeds Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira whose tenure at the brand mostly spanned the COVID pandemic, with his first collection showing at Paris Fashion Week in February 2020. It’s going to be an exciting future for Kenzo and hopefully Nigo will…

The humble squat is what you call a foundational movement. Even before we can walk, we were already squatting. If you’ve ever seen a toddler drop into a perfect squat to pick up a toy, you know what we’re talking about here. It’s only when we get older that squatting means “potential back pain” and “wobbly knees.” All in all, however, squatting is—and should be—an essential part of everybody’s workout regimen. Squats engages your core muscles and strengthens your lower body, while helping you prevent knee and ankle injuries. Furthermore, squats help you maintain flexibility well into your later years and actually help promote healthy bone density. So, in short, squats are highly beneficial. That is, if you regularly do it as part of a regular workout routine—and if you…

Through recalibration and reflection of the Dior codes, the Spring 2022 menswear collection by men’s Artistic Director Kim Jones reaffirms the lexicon that defines the house’s masculine identity. In reexamining the archives, Jones discovered not only the persona of Monsieur Dior himself, but also that of those who inherited his mantle and how to pass on the legacy and keep its spirit part of the present. The collection pulled fragments from Dior’s rich heritage, which stretches back to 1947, the year of the maison’s debut. Other aesthetic notes were taken from Marc Bohan’s famous reign as designer for the label which started in the 1960s and lasted all the way until 1989. As for the more contemporary elements of the collection, Kim Jones’s signature hybrids of tailoring and sportwear as…

Also known as the letterman, the varsity jacket style dates as far as the 1930s and, coincidently. has been synonymous with American jock culture. In fact, the style was first worn when the Harvard University baseball team of 1865 opted for cashmere sweaters marked by the letter “H” in chenille. It was here that varsity style—and eventually the wool-bodied, leather-sleeved varsity jacket—was born. But although the athletic silhouette and wool fabric might still remind you of football captains, that stereotype has certainly changed. For fall/winter ’21, plenty of high-end brands are playing with the classic jacket in a varied range of styles—whether it’s sleek, oversized or even deconstructed. But if classic varsity jackets are still your go-to option, Givenchy offers one in black wool and contrasting white letter sleeves, black…

Going Polo The humble Polo shirt is one of those basic items that is indispensable for casual wear. It’s sporty, simple, but still a little bit more elegant than a simple T-shirt. As seen on quite a few runways from the various fashion weeks, it seems that this season is all about knitted polo shirts. With all the elements checked—point collars, placket buttons—this season’s rendition of the polo shirt is also somewhat luxurious. Styling hints abound from Ermenegildo Zegna, Hermès, Jil Sander and Isabel Marant. Sweater Season As we enter the perfect season for wearing knitwear, the knitted jumper takes a shot at colorful hues and various themes and patterns.

The Arsenal More than mere tools in your grooming arsenal, face washes and cleansers for men are fundamental to a healthy and proactive lifestyle. And in this time and age, taking care of hygiene is more than mandatory. A study by the National Institute of Health found people touched their face an average of 15.7 times per hour. Just imagine how much dirt and bacteria accumulates by the time the day has ended. So, not washing your face is really not a choice. Facial skin tends to be more delicate than most other areas of your body, so it needs more than a little TLC. Using a facial cleanser can have many benefits, including correcting acne, reducing signs of aging, while also leaving your skin refreshed. While no two faces…

Despite feeling like a very familiar and overlong journey through the mind, heart and life of Drake, the new album still manages to provide melancholic good beats and well-crafted lyrics. For instance, its lead single, “Way 2 Sexy,” reached the Billboard Hot 100, making it the ninth U.S. number-one song of Drake’s career.

Earlier this year, U.S. News picked the Mediterranean diet as the best diet overall in its annual best diet rankings for the fourth consecutive time. The publication also picked the same diet for the number one position in five other categories: best diets for healthy eating, easiest diets to follow, best diets for diabetes, best heart-healthy diets and best plant-based diets. But perhaps this shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the Mediterranean diet has long been lauded as one of the healthiest around. Rooted in deep-seated culinary traditions, the eating habits of the people from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea remain ever relevant—perhaps even more so—for us modern folk today. “ROOTED IN DEEP-SEATED CULINARY TRADITIONS, THE EATING HABITS OF THE PEOPLE FROM COUNTRIES BORDERING THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA REMAIN EVER RELEVANT—PERHAPS EVEN…

With every new role and new genre he dives into, American actor Tanner Buchanan is ever prepared and always hits the mark. At 22, he may still be young, but don’t let that fool you. His love for performing got him his start with small roles on shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Goldbergs,” “Girl Meets World” and “Game Shakers.” Then came “Designated Survivor,” where he played Kiefer Sutherland’s character’s son, Leo Kirkman, until 2018.

Of course, Osinski is not new to the industry. In fact, he has more than a decade of experience under his belt. His track record includes appearing as Agent James Davis on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D” and guest-starring in “Shameless,” “New Amsterdam” as well as “MacGyver,” among others.
