Michael Bastian and @Havaianas S/S 2011 Menswear

An intelligent and natural collaboration finally came to an official partnership between Michael Bastian and Havaianas. In his previous summer shows Michael had already been using a lot the black Havaianas with the Brazilian flag. It seems that Michael has been reinterpreting American Sportswear over and over again and doing it with great success. And always having the flip flop element which has become an everyday element for a lot of men across the US. The Flip Flops not only from Havaianas or any other brand has become an everyday element in menswear in the US, Europe and Latin America.

It's been more than a decade since the flip flops rose again from the 70's fashion and it seems they're here to stay. It's almost weird to see someone wearing normal shoes in cities like Atlanta, Miami or Los Angeles. Also a lot of retail stores depend on the image of what flip flops lifestyle is about. Stores like Abercrombie and Fitch, Holister CO, Aeropostale, American Eagle and such that  dress the average American depend on that factor.

Nevertheless Micheal Bastian was smart in partnering with the Havaianas brand since it has become a cult brand and a lot of people around the world recognize it. Micheal Bastian's Havaianas seem to have original designs which makes them unique. And under the premise that comes to my mind Americans like it easy but cool he delivered one of the most important collections of the season.
