Anyone who knows be but at all, knows that I have a particular fondness for sleeveless tops on men. I just think they look damn awesome and there are by no means enough of them around.

 So, I was thrilled when I stumbled across the Christian LaCroix spring/summer 2012 collection.

The first little number I found irresistible was a leather-looking piece with an intricate pattern and corset style lace-up back.

















There was also a jacket in a similar style (below) which I was equally pining over.


Another notable piece here was somewhere between a suit jacket and a waistcoat - I'm gonna call it a suit waistjacket. And I think I want one.

 Next up on my list of faves was this little old-school LaCroix gem. A denim sleeveless with plenty of... personality!!

















As you can imagine, at this point I was pretty much foaming at the mouth... but wait... there's more...
Yes, yet another suit waistjacket appeared, this time in a kind of eggshell or off-white colour - this seemed like they wanted to tone down the usual LaCroix glitz on the garment, so they relocated it to the model instead... in saying that, I can already picture guys this summer walking around with glittery cheeks, probably in an effort to blend this with Twilight!! But as for the fashion in question, I quite like it - maybe even a little more than the black alternative and I think a good number to end the show on.
