After last week's savage style, it seemed only fitting to feature a men's fashion blogger this week. Sadly, as with many aspects of fashion, the blogs dedicated to women's fashion outnumber those created by men and more so, featuring men's fashion. But boy oh boy, when the guys step up to the plate they hit a home run.
Meet Izzy Tuason, the creator of "The Dandy Project". His blog is unique not only in that it highlights trends in men's fashion, but that he recreates the runway looks for less by way of DIY.
