I just love the contrasts of colour and textures. In an age where almost every luxurious product is made in China, I can also appreciate Billykirk’s Made in USA goodness. Appropriate for the office, perfect for the weekend; A stylish bag for men, just the way I like em and did I forget to mention? […]

Style Timelessness: 3.5/5 (will look dated in 3 years) Trend Worthiness: 5/5 (trendy beyond compare) This leading luxury men’s suit designer Ermenegildo Zegna does it again. I could bore you with their 100 year old heritage or sedate you by waxing lyrical on their pedigree as suit makers for other haute couture labels like Gucci, […]

Born 14 October 1939 as Ralph Liftshitz, this American fashion designer and business extraordinaire single handedly elevated continental fashion design and imbued it with trans-international-pan-European aesthetics. This man is known today as Ralph Lauren. The son of Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants, Ralph’s sartorial inclinations were perhaps first forged in Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy; selling ties to his […]

Taking inspiration from Eastern work wear, Himalayan pioneers combining it with a British Raj colonial aesthetic, Eastie is a Brit heritage label that updates retro iconic looks into contemporary wear.

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.

Affordable luxe rating: 4/5 Looks great for: Work I recently paid a trip to Club21 offices at COMO House Singapore where I was greeted with this gorgeous chocolate brown Mulberry Tony Bag.

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. […]

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 […]
