As we move into 2022, one thing is for sure, what was once traditional and taken for granted, no longer applies. And in some respects, that is a good thing!!
The COVID-19 health pandemic has caused all of us—particularly progressive-thinking folks—to re-examine everything about our lives. There is significant reflection on careers, passions, relationships, and even consideration of what it means to be a human being. This is especially relevant when life is so tedious and fleeting.
This reflection on our humanity can cause us to look closely at our lives and how we express ourselves. And from this deep thought, we may conclude that the only opinion that matters is our own. How freeing is that?
In this latest fashion editorial, Fashion Reverie examines and highlights a more expansive perspective on masculinity. After all, a real man knows who he is and marches to the beat of his own drum. Be that a masculinity that is expressed in bold color, lots of jeweled embellishments with a nod toward glitter and glitz.
2022 is on the horizon, so free your mind and the rest will follow. Did En Vogue say that?

If you haven’t watched “Empire,” you should. “Empire” is a megahit for FOX Network, starring the incomparable Taraji Henson, Jessie Smollett, and of course Terrence Howard as the maniacal “Lucious Lyons.” Also in the mix is Jeremy Carver, who portrays a young “Lucious Lyons” in flashbacks.
Night life in the city that never sleeps has evolved. Where some decades back, urban night life revolved around going to a flashy dance club and letting the music take your to heights unknown.
The Future is now. As societal norms, political structures, and demographics evolve, fashion rises to the challenge and celebrates the tides of change and the vicissitudes of life. Change is not tomorrow, change and evolution has modern currency. And Fashion Reverie is prepped and primed to document this shift in consumers’ palettes. Come celebrate with us.
