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 [...]

First Casualty of Sale Season - Loake?

Over-dramatic title, but this is turning from a Perhaps into a serious Maybe, after I noticed that Robinsons was going on sale, and then it struck me that Robinsons carries Loake shoes, all the way from England! Making quality shoes since 1880, Loake Shoemakers are known for being value-for-money products, if a little boring. [...]

Cloak Meets Uniqlo

Well, not quite. Alexander Plokhov, one of my favourite designers for his work with Robert Geller at now-defunct label Cloak, has a collection in conjunction with this season’s Uniqlo’s Designer Invitational series dropping on May 22. Like many others, I’ve had plenty of admiration for Cloak’s ideas, with Plokhov’s austere colour palettes suggesting military influences [...]

Fudge Gets In Your Hair

Not quite fashion, but I’ve recently found out about Fudge, an Australian brand of hair care and styling products. Most styling products advertise based on the “hold” or “shine” of their wax - Gatsby ads come immediately to mind. But the best part about Fudge’s Hair Shaper (which I bought) is the vanilla-scent. Unscrewing the [...]

Stylish Young Men

I hardly see stylish young men on the streets or in the clubs these days.
Singaporean men are always clad in jeans and tees, and even the best-looking men swear by them. It isn’t that the combination is flawed, but I would love it if they could work more into their outfits.
Also, men here don’t seem [...]

Man-boots!

I noticed this outfit the other day when poking about, and there’s something Americana/trad-ish about that I wish I could pull off. But there’s also the boots, a pair of Red Wings.

Doc Martens are usually the go-to brand for a pair of black leather boots, primarily because of their mod-era history. But Docs aren’t what [...]

Canadian Tuxedo

Which is another term to describe an all-denim outfit: a denim jacket with a pair of jeans. The standing joke is that unless you’re a redneck trucker, or a Canadian, you can’t pull off the look without looking like…well, a redneck trucker.
But on the superfuture forums I found a really elegant version of this outfit. [...]

Yoox.com

Shopping online can be a huge pain unless you know where to look. Being in Singapore means that the exchange rate is stacked against us (versus the US and Euro currencies), and also that freight and delivery costs can pile up very quickly. At the same time, the bargain hunter should always turn his/her nose [...]
