How many pairs of shoes does a man need?Yesterday as I got the newest addition, a pair of Buttero tanino sneakers into my collection - I once again started to think the question how many pairs of shoes does a man need… The pair mentioned took the overall amount to be around 45 pairs - give or take one or two as some pairs are missing from the pictures which I shot last night. So in general I could probably say that I have my basics covered. I actually haven't purchased any dress shoes or casual leather shoes for a while now as I’ve been concentrating to more casual options for summer such as superga sneakears, rivieras slip-ons and Nike flyknits.The...
Playfullness, masculinity and fabric experimentation First of all I need to say that the photos do not do justice to the S/S ´14 collection by Boglioli that was built and presented in the middle of daisies, gardenias and peach blossoms in their very own house during the fair. The craftsmanship and experimentation especially with the different kinds of fabric treatments Boglioli is known for is something you should see and feel by yourself. Soft fabrics and peculiar shapes For the up coming spring and summer there are once again a bunch of new experiments all in terms of fabric treatments, colors and cut. One of them is the new cut and peculiar shape for the suit where the front part of the jacket...
S/S ´14 As usual, Mismo came up tough and inspirational. The collection presents some new materials and mixtures such as the linen, linen/cotton, new colored canvas plus also some techinal fabrics that seemed to be perfect for more casual attendance. For S/S 2014 Mismo has also decided to step into the “camouflage game” as the print is strongly presented in many pieces of the collection. But unlikely to what we’ve used to see in the spring and summer collections of Mismo there’s really no splashes or flashy choices in terms of the color scheme this time. Instead there’s a lot shades of blue, brown, sand and green with some little additions of restrained tones of orange. Read the full post @Editors’...
After the review of Eidos Napoli (See here) it’s natural to move towards the “big brother” and take a look at Isaia. There’s really not much need to say anything about Isaia in general; once again they brought up a collection that represents Neapolitan tailoring as its best, is candy for the eye and destructive for your wallet. S/S ´14 - inspired by music The link and inspiration behind the S/S ´14 is music and songs, traditional in the culture of Neapolitan tailoring. In collection the songs are transformed into colorful clothes with a color palette almost like a rainbow; there’s shades ranging from green, to yellow, passing through red and orange, always to purple, pink and turquoise. As usual...
Weekly WIWT-round - try-out In the beginning of the year I wrote I would try to come up with some outfit-posts more often… One of the reasons I haven’t been posting them so much and the main reason that when I do I only do the “detail shots” is that it’s a bit hard (and time-taking) to shoot the pics just by yourself. However and due some questions and messages I’ve decided to try and live up my words and at least for now will try to come up with a some kind of an outfit post once every week. Even though I’m done with my vacation for this summer and so back at work the dress code during summer...
