HE by Mango

a
I’ve been hearing about this since January, but it’s finally hitting our island. Mango’s menswear collection, HE by Mango will be available in stores. Its slated to be in stores today - I’m hazy on the location but I trust the flagship store along Scotts Road will carry this.

HE stands for Homini Emerito, which is [...]

Me Likely Fashionable Men

On a recent trip to Agnes B, Mystery Man X (hoho) and I came across an Agnes B Homme black leather tote bag which is perfect - the size, the proportions, the details.
Mystery Man X has been looking for something like this for quite some time now. He’d decided, after encountering many doubtlessly stylish men [...]

Raf Simons in Singapore

Actually, the title is a little misleading - Raf Simons is in fact no longer being stocked at Venue after they clear their A/W06 stock, to make way for April77’s range of jackets, tees, pants and jeans. I had a field day going through their 50% discount rack at Palais Renaissance, but unfortunately even at [...]

ScandiChic: Won Hundred

It really is no secret that I have an extreme soft spot for Scandinavian designs. In particular, I adore the Danish, Copenhagen-based labels.
Perhaps I’m not being very objective for after all, I am a little biased towards that lovely city. God knows how many mornings I’d spent admiring the effortless chic of tall, lithe figures [...]

Halt - Who goes there?

I’ve always had a bit of a thing for the military - not the “modern 3G army” as our Ministry of Defense likes to remind us - but the more dated aspects of the aesthetic. A pair of epaulettes on the shoulders seems to me a detail that can add something to a simple jacket. [...]

Uniqlo Fall 07

Uniqlo’s pieces should be dropping in stores soon (I’m not sure, but I think the store displays are just going up in New York - no idea about here in Asia) and the first thing that strikes you about the lookbook, released a few weeks ago, is its great styling.

The pieces themselves look pretty basic [...]

Man vs Man

Tweeds hasn’t written for awhile–apologies (or maybe that is a good thing!) to the Fashion Nation readers.
While out shopping at the Club 21 sale with a friend last week, we noticed a fundamental difference in our styles. I was picking out drapey (”beggar-ish”, he called it) things like a Yohji open knit vest with a [...]

CutSew

I saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs tee instore a few weeks ago and there’s something so fun about this cut/sew tee that really made me want it…but at SGD150(?) it wasn’t exactly a swipe of the card.

Recently I did see the same tee in the darker colorway on sale at the Barney’s online store, [...]

Italians and their Sunglasses

Hello people! We’re back from Europe with lots of style findings - hope you haven’t been too knotted up by the lack of posts from both Dot and I.
What I’ve found in Italy is - first and foremost that Italian men were by far the best-looking dudes I’ve set eyes on. Even the guy in [...]

Igor Sem’onov

A Russian leather goods specialist in operation near St. Petersburg since 1991, I came across Igor’s thread posted on StyleForum. His work is all handmade and materials are natural Italian skins and fabric. While without a website at the moment, the photos of his work look top-notch and are just about as exclusive as you [...]
