There’s only a week before heading again to Florence for Pitti Uomo 87. As I noticed there are still some unpublished photos regarding the collections and makers I paid a visit in June I thought they would serve as a good “warm up” for the upcoming fair. So next week will be about those few collections for the upcoming season as well as getting ready to travel. Starting with Buttero - Italian shoe maker that nowadays is best know for their high-quality sneakers. Even though the brand may not be that well-known outside the #menswear and sneaker-aficianados, Buttero already celebrated it’s 40th anniversary with the collection that was seen at Pitti last summer. Spring and summer 2015 - “Dirty white” The “theme”...
Starting the year with (once more) some pictures from last year posted via instagram. As said earlier I don't update the feed on a daily basis but some sneak peeks of what I wear and what I do as well and some other things I find personally interesting can be found from there on more regular pace. So for more wiwt- and other pics - check and follow @dresslikea€‹ First of all a couple of “look downs”. Suit (mtm) by Sauma, denim shirt from Massimo Dutti and grenadine tie by Viola Milano. Shoes from Carmina. A basic office-attire, combining some orange with different shades of blue. Suit (mtm) by Herrainpukimo, shirt (mtm) by Schoffa and tie by Berg&Berg. Shoes from Alfred Sargent....
Light weight wool mughal print scarf by Drake’s London Sometimes a little bit of color or unusual pattern can bring an appropriate amount of edge to otherwise quite classic and simple winter ensemble. Here the orange mughal printed scarf by Drake’s is worn together with a checked flannel suit by G.Abo Napoli, made-to-order grenadine tie made by Arcuri Cravatte and shirt from Kamakura. Pocket square from The Tie Bar and shoes by Carmina. The scarf pictured - which I’ve been longing for (in this particular color) since I saw it the first time at Pitti Uomo last January when it was featured at the Drake’s London collection for this fall and winter season - was given to me as a Christmas gift...
It’s again been a while since I last posted any Q&A so I tried to gather some of the questions I’ve got during the last few weeks. There will be some individual questions regarding the upcoming sales and outerwear pieces answered separately during the next couple of days. Q: Found your website when I was looking for retailers who carry The Gigi. Can you help? p.s. love your website A: There’s not that many retailers I would be aware of but here’s a few. Especially BR-online carries pretty wide selection of GIGI but if you are in Europe, there are still some options to check out. Frans Boone Store / Kafka G&B Negozio BR-Online.jp And then there’s at least Gabucci in Stockholm (and Milord in Florence)...
For some little Sunday inspiration a few detail shots from yesterday. Pictured also the Gran Sasso sweater I bought as a Christmas gift for myself on Friday. As you can see, the weekend was fully casual.
Overcoat: Rose&Born Roll neck: Gran Sasso
