Simon Ariel Vasquez says “surprise!” with his Holiday 2012 collection. Rather than gifts wrapped in ribbons and confetti flying in the air, Simon puts his take on a cake with floral laser cutout details in shirts and on errrthing. Of course, it’s not really a party without colors and almost naked men. Yum!

An androgynous take on usual menswear, Simon Ariel Vasquez’s monochromatic outfits were made extra special by details on the sleeves,breast pockets, collars, and more.

What say you about that tangerine blousy thing? Very convenient for those nights where the GF’s stays over and forgets to bring extra clothes, non? What really made the celebration worthwhile was those shorts! Talk about leaving nothing in the imagination. You know, it ain’t even our birthday but we really, really, really, want to play…with those clothes.—DIZZYRIZZY
