"HI THERE, HANDSOME"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

" Mirror, mirror, around my neck, am I still handsome, I'd like to check. "

A tie where you can check out your handsomeness every minute of the day. The ultimate lady killer accessory. A classy skinny mirror tie, that's 'The Mirage'. You can fold it in, so the mirror is facing towards you. Definitely an eye-catcher. (Probably because they want to check if there hair is still ok) But that's understandable. They want to make a good first impression on you, right? 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mirage is a clear sign that beauty accessory doesn't has to be typical feminine. A guy that's carrying a mirror with him in his bag, probably is seen as feminine. But over here, it's processed so subtle, that it still has a masculine appearance. 

You see that mens evaluates into mens that care more about there appearance. That they smell good, look clean and look healthy. So I think masculine beauty accessory will become pretty normal without the feminine image.

THE LOOK OF THE NEW ARCHETYPES

{WHAT} 'Vman' magazine came with 'The Archetypes issue #23' last fall. In this issue they described 17 of mens new archetypes. You can find the looks that fits to the different archetypes as 'The Freak', 'The Narcissist', 'The Tycoon' and 'The Warrior '. 

{WHY}Every archetype you can link to different characteristics and to a different way of thinking. It's something your born with, unconscious idea patterns. In 1919 psychiatrist Carl Jung named the different archetypes as 'The Self', 'The Shadow' and 'The Animal'. It created it trough evolution. And the fact that they now created 17 more prototypes of archetypes says something about the evolution of the men.
 
{FUTURE} It's interesting and important to know how the human develop trough evolution.  It tells a lot about the humans in the future. By knowing the different archetypes we could understand what they want and need and recognize there style and behavior. Things can be created for a specific archetype.

ANNA..? HANNA..? SIENNA..?

{WHAT} "Hmmm... what's your name again?" Switching the names of your girlfriends? If your better in remembering faces than in remembering names, this is the perfect address book. Smythson created the 'Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads' address book where you can organize your 'girlfriends' on hair color.   

{WHY}It's something that Barney Stinson, a character on the TV serie 'How I met your mother', would buy. Surrounded by a lot of women with no obligations. A lady killer that a lot of men want to be!
The 'happily ever after' stories aren't that obvious nowadays. People don't get married round there 20st anymore, cheating and divorces already became a normal thing round celebrities and you even can find cheating tips in glossy magazines. Did we forgot the word 'monogamy'?
 
{FUTURE} If I look at the relationships of this era, I think the new generation will grow up in a welfare of open relationships and more than one mother/father figures in there life. Getting married and becoming official life partners becomes secondary importance. If this is going to happen in the future, how does the 'normal' standard of a family going to look like? A kid with 2 mom's and 3 dad's?
