Julius Reuben pay homage to the one and only Frida Kahlo a.k.a Frieda Kahlo y Calderon.
Frieda Kahlo y Calderón) was a Mexican painter, born in Coyoacán. Perhaps best known for her self-portraits, Kahlo's work is remembered for its "pain and passion", and its intense, vibrant colors. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.
Pastel Yellow or Mustard yellow is often described as the perfect gender-neutral hue. It is deceptively easy to work into your wardrobe because the varying shades can be used to create a number of desired effects. However, the most difficult part of working with yellow is getting the right shade for your skin tone.
Medium to dark skin tones work very well with most colors and tones. Pastel and brighter yellow hues work exceptionally well if you fall into this category. Avoid going too bright with your yellow if you have darker skin tones, as you risk creating too strong of a contrast between the color and your skin. Bolder yellows can look great, as do mustard and gold hues, which create strong, flattering contrasts with your skin tone. As Julius Reuben demonstrate in this bold mustard futurist suit. If minimal is what you are after then mix your pale pastels with some fun bright colors to give your look an extra pop. Try adding a brightly colored tie to a pastel shirt, or a bright shirt to a pale suit.
"In the night they come out to play!" This is what Julius Reuben wrote in his Facebook when he posted these campaign images of Designer/Blogger Thidarat Kaha which she is featuring him as a blood sucking Vampire. Love it!
Yes you heard it right as it is not only the female of the species or the likes of the Fashionista Julius reuben as pictured attending Beffta Awards that are going to be representing for botanists all over the world but the men are going to get involved as well. So Gents and not so Gents it looks like you finally have an excuse to delve into your sixties and eighties wardrobe, force out your Hawaiian shirts or your Nan's floral curtain in a bid to keep up with the trends.
I never thought I would say those words in a serious tone but the truth is that the powers that be, those fashion gods in the heavens have decided it is acceptable once again to wear a floral jacket, shirt,trouser or both for fashion purposes as opposed to fancy dress purposes.

White
There are some colors that do not go out of style. The most vivid example is white. The color's king. This spring or fall, the white is on top. Not necessarily strictly elegant even prefer "sloppy" pattern, suitable for heat.Just pair up your winter white tops and/or bottoms with black or other dark colored footwear to add just a bit of color. You can also shop for handbags, accessories, and footwear with gold or silver hardware to give your look a little edge as our Fashion Icon Julius Reuben demonstrate. If the all winter white look still doesn't work for you, try wearing a winter white separate, bag, or accessory with favorite pieces from your closet and still get in on this great trend! So make sure you get hyped for winter white for fall/winter 2013-14!
