a new obsession.

Due to an absent teacher and the resulting free cut, my friends and I once again journeyed the millions of isles of the great ayala malls. (not to mention, walking quite a mile for some good ol’ sausage mcmuffin) During these few hours, I have finally found the one piece that has immensely taunted my mind with its defying structure and its sheer uniqueness that will probably seem outrageous to those who are annoyingly ignorant of the changing times and the forever modifying fashion.

This piece that I have been so longingly chasing and looking for has finally been discovered!

*insert drum roll here.* the POWER BLAZER.

Now let us so graciously review the power blazer’s fashion history..

It was Christophe Decarnin in Balmain’s Spring 2008 ready to wear collection that gave birth to the very definition of “the power blazer”. The lines were clean, the shoulders sharp; thus, the tailoring was immaculately executed. In the Fall of 2009, Decarnin presented the same concept of the piece yet altering the slightest and yet the most pristine of details. The shoulders were now winged with a slight yet striking curve on each side. It was utterly magnificent.

Here are some examples of people who defy norms with their edgy style and head turning power blazers.
