Admittedly, as a fan of Euro-English designers like Paul Smith , I can be a little snobbish. I’ve often kept my distance from American designers like Ralph Lauren; that giant horse riding polo player logo on the polo shirt isn’t really my thing. Then one day last year, everything changed. Before me, lay some of the finest […]

The name of Dior Homme’s Spring Summer 2011 campaign is lessness. Well, lessness is moreness so goes the popular, albeit reprhrased adage. Of the entire collection, Dior Homme’s patent leather shoes hold a siren call for me. Beautifully simple, classically elegant, these men’s designer shoes are everything a man should have for a dress shoe. Unpretentious […]

I mentioned before that I’m a fan of men’s designer bags that can be both formal and casual depending on how you rocked it.

Style Timelessness: 5/5 (timeless) Trend worthiness: 3.5/5 (obviously creative shirt-tie-suit combinations push this up) Luxury brands often like to conjure a sense of royalty and exclusivity- “Oh.. the Crown Prince of Costa Gravas used to buy tuxedos from us”. In Loewe’s case the King didn’t just purchase the Spanish luxury atelier’s goods, he commissioned them. […]

Affordable luxury rating: 5/5 Look great for: Work and play (wear it to the office and beyond) 42mm with a bi-directional 24hr GMT bezel, this tribute to the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper drone (and sharing its namesake); Dievas Watch Company’s The Reaper bears killer looks that betray its functional yet beautifully simple inner workings.

Woven belts are in but not many are painstakingly braided by master tanners from a fine Italian luxury Atelier like Bulgari. This belt makes our Curated Selection on the basis of the daring blend of blue and beige elastic rubber yarn. One belt, multiple looks and colour matching combinations, the double logo on the belt buckle […]

A real man’s bag should be ready for any situation like the man who carries it. Bow tie on, James Bond (Daniel Craig version please) is Mr. Smooth. Bow tie off, James Bond is ready for action or a bout of snogging, it’s the same blazer but two different looks. Get the drift? I always […]
