Menswear 2012: Alexander McQueen Fall Collection

January 18, 2012

0

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 […]

Menswear 2012: Jil Sander Fall Collection

January 18, 2012

In the aftermath of being back from Christmas Break (tons of work and emails to clear), I must apologise that I have been remiss in keeping the blog updated. This 2012, I hope to be more consistent with my posts; the goal- 1 per day; but I digress. I guess it’s somewhat fortuitous that I’ve […]

Luxe Investment: Moschino Velvet Blazer

December 5, 2011

1

I’ve yet to see Neal Caffrey in one but for his real life luminaries- Grant, Sinatra and Astaire (this Monsieur was buried in one),  it was de riguer attire for upstanding gentlemen. Before you allude the crassness of a velvet blazer to kings of pornographic empires, please remember that Hugh didn’t start the trend, it […]

Luxe Investment: Corthay Shoes from Monsieur Corthay

October 30, 2011

Pierre Corthay ranks amongst the best. That needed to be said upfront. A classically trained shoemaker, he apprenticed at luminary marques John Lobb and Berlutti and let me say unequivocally- the apple doesn’t fall very fair away from the shoemaking tree. Though Corthay shoes often straddle (rather successfully I might add) the line between what’s […]

The Bespoke Wardrobe: Custom Made Head to Toe

September 21, 2011

I’ve often extolled the virtues of penny wisdom- making a few crucial luxury investments, mixing it up with the affordable; in tandem, a look that makes you look dressed above your paygrade. Thus far, I’ve been sensible (the wife would disagree) but just sometimes a boy can dream (the wife will frown at the expenditure) […]

Menswear 2012: Alfred Dunhill Autumn Winter

The three key looks for menswear this season: Retro Boardwalk Imperials, Woods Men Rough and Wild West Cowboy. Trend direction: Retro (think Nucky Thompson) Timelessness: 3.5/5 – Style never dies but 1950s – 60s lapels are a little too dated (for me) but still I must admit that under the auspices of Kim Jones, he’s […]

Stylish Casual Wear for Mob Bosses & Hentsch Man

It’s a literary job hazard- Easy puns. I hate it sometimes but will allow this exception as my segue way into my next point. Judging from their pop up store display of subtle, elegant and immensely comfortable menswear basics – The Hentsch Man Summer 2011 collection is real easy on the eyes. While it’s true that […]

The Allure of Yves Saint Laurent Croc Skin Shoes

April 14, 2011

0

I’ve always held a fascination for croc skin. From perceptible to borderline imperceptible textures, it’s the detail and refinement that goes into a croc skin product (be they shoes, wallets, belts or bags) that turns me on (in an emotional sense. I’m not a pervert). That said, even though these Yves Saint Laurent men’s shoes […]
