Two guayaberas seen from the back, showing the alforza pleats and the Western-style yoke. The guayabera /ɡwaɪ.əˈbɛrə/ is a men's shirt popular in Cuba, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and throughout Africa. It is also known as a "Wedding Shirt".[1][2][3] History[edit] The origin of the garment is a somewhat of a mystery, thought to be the result of a mixture of Native American and Spanish styles, developed in the late 18th or early 19th centuries. A version of the shirt's origins claims that Mexicans either originated it in either the state of Veracruz or the Yucatán Peninsula. Guayabera may come from a Cuban legend that tells of a poor countryside seamstress sewing large patch-pockets onto her husband's shirts for carrying guava (guayabas) from the field.[4][6] Guayabera may also have originated from the word yayabero, the singular nickname for those who lived near the Yayabo River in Cuba.[4][7] Design[edit] Political significance[edit] Similar shirts[edit]

A Panama hat A Borsalino Panama hat A Panama hat (toquilla straw hat) is a traditional brimmed straw hat of Ecuadorian origin. Traditionally, hats were made from the plaited leaves of the Carludovica palmata plant, known locally as the toquilla palm or jipijapa palm,[1] although it is a palm-like plant rather than a true palm.
Panama hats are light-colored, lightweight, and breathable, and often worn as accessories to summer-weight suits, such as those made of linen or silk. Beginning around the turn of the 20th century, panamas began to be associated with the seaside and tropical locales. The art of weaving was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists on 6 December 2012.[2] History[edit] Panama hats sold on a street market in Ecuador The hat known today as the Panama hat was produced in Ecuador as early as the seventeenth century.

Ad Campaign Review: Boss Black Spring Summer 2011. Hugo Boss goes to warm lands for this ad campaign featuring Mark Vanderloo. When I saw this campaign reminded me about some of the Mexican beaches or maybe the Italian beaches.
The photography is spectacular and full of color of Hugo Boss. Even if it is the Black label the iconic orange color is splattered across the images. Also if you notice the architecture plays quite a role in this images. The contrast of the of the windows, the outside inside feeling and most important the clothes. Hugo Boss seems to keep the german style on its way with very simetrical and sleek designs for men. Its nice to see Mark Vanderloo in the game again and that makes me remember back at his days in DKNY when the brand became iconic in the late 90's and early 2000's. Tommy Hilfiger: The Hilfigers El Cöuntry de-la-Club-ius / Spring Summer 2011. Laird and Partners scored again with this Hilfigers Ad Campaign for Tommy Hilfiger.
I have to say that this concept cracks me up cause its like a new modern preppy version of The Royal Tenenbaums. And I like it very much. This ad campaign seems to score the big winning campaign for this season. The cast is really good and we get to see a comeback of the family we met last year. Under the American Preppy Style, Tommy Hilfiger seems to be the winner. I can say too that there has been a massive amount of money invested in media. It's funny how fashion brands make come backs with good communication and positioning.
Ad Campaign Review: Zara Man Spring Summer 2011. Zara rarely creates an ad campaign with a concept. They use the images of their clothing to dress the sotres around the world. What you can see are really well executions in photography. Nothing out of this world but quite a pleasure to see. Ad Campaign Review: Massimo Dutti Spring Summer 2011. David Gandy stars in the Spring Summer Ad Campaign for Massimo Dutti. I was surprised to find him in the Massimo Dutti feature. This means that the Inditex Group in Spain is doing quite good to pay for this kind of models in their ad campaigns. Close Ups and full body images are displayed in the whole campaign. Also this images were taken from the webiste of the company. The photography seems to be pretty clear and not contrasted at all.

I have a theory that it is actually the people who make it. Inviting a lively, attractive crowd will do more for an event than all the chicken wings, Rioja and Space-age Bachelor Pad music in the world. For one thing, the soul of a good garden party or barbecue is the conversation between those attending. In my rule book, a city garden party is likely to be a grander event. For those attending a more modest country house event, a less formal approach is needed. If it is simply too hot for trousers, wear a modest pair of shorts and take a pair of trousers with you for when it gets cooler.
Shoe choice is important too. For that finishing touch, and to guard against the cold when the sun goes down, take a cardigan or a light seersucker jacket with you. And finally, try to avoid wearing sunglasses. Advertisement. Cuba Holidays : El Piropo (Cuban compliments) The Sexual attitudes are present in the every day life, in the streets, in the way people move or dress, in the apparent innocent blink of an eye that pushes us to an impenetrable complicity. Admiration by the sexual appearance, the physical or the spiritual opulence it is also expressed aloud. It is difficult if not impossible especially for Cuban men to stay impassible about the women's beauty.
If a pretty woman walks with a rhythmic movement near a man, it doesn't matter where it happens, a comment will arise. Either alone or in group Cuban men will never let the lady pass without saying anything. And then, it comes, "el piropo". The piropo (which is just a compliment) is the channel to project that joyful charge of imagination in the spirit. Nowadays the piropos are different. Some piropos survived decades and are still in use today. It is clear that the final goal of a piropo is the conquest. Hear you will find some of the most popular piropos in Cuba.
