It’s a common misunderstanding that travel involves comfortable clothing sans elegance and expression. This couldn’t be further away from the truth; fact is, […]

The man may have passed but his legacy lives on in Sarah Burton, if ever there was proof that women can sometimes make better menswear designers than men, this is it. Working with Savile Row luminary Huntsman, Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2012 collection harkens back to an age of classically elegant gent and gentry; a world […]

I’m ashamed to admit, I’m a little late to the party. Run Of the Mill stopped taking orders for their shoes on 26 November, but yet here I am with a small write up because I do believe theirs is a shop that is definitely not run of the mill. Beautiful, well crafted and coming […]

Trends come and go but Haefest is here to stay. Stylish not trendy, high quality materials, simple elegance and meticulous attention to detail has turned this New York brand into an independent brand of such craftsmanship that well established brand houses should sit up and take note. HÆRFEST : pronounced Har•vest (’härvist) bags come in Grey […]

It’s sheer coincidence that I’m covering two legendary icons from the 1950s back to back but It’s not coincidence that many icons like this awesome Porsche 550 Spyder Roadster were conceived in the roaring 50s and 60s. Inspired by the curves of the original and augmented by modern technologies- all new tweaked drivetrain, suspension plus 245 […]

It’s always nice to have a dependable name in High Street to give us relatively affordable sartorial options for men, in this case- Topman; And when you combine High Street men’s clothes with luxury handmade leather shoe atelier Loake, what you get is a pretty powerful combination of well crafted men’s designer shoes at mass […]
