Alexandre Herchcovitch











It's always exciting to discover a new talented designer. Alexandre Herchcovitch's Spring/Summer 2010 collection is a mix of fun colours and formal accents, a refreshing take on men's clothing. Keep a look out for more

Modern Classic


The black sneaker with the white trimmed sole, is a modern classic for me as it is understatedly stylish and versatile. Black is always a safe colour for sneakers but the white trim means that it has a formal edge contributing to its versatility. I got a similar pair from H&M, so add it to your collection

The Bowtie







While the bow tie has made a big comeback this last year, i don't think its a passing trend. The bow tie is a classic that has just been given an informal edge and while there are many different prints out there, i still prefer simple colours, especially black. Here are a few looks that i like

Linen Scarf


For those of us in the Southern Hemisphere entering summer this accessory is perfect because its light, breathable and essential for a modern summer look. It's recommended you get this is in White or Cream so it brightens up any ensemble.

Ultra Modern Living




This is the interior of a caravan designed by Theresa Kalteis and Christian Freissling, two students at Austria's Graz University of Technology's faculty of architecture. Its so minimalistic and clean, definitely a high end camping experience

Thom Browne






These are shots from outside the Thom Browne show in London. I'm really liking the white and black lining on the jackets, which are also ultra fitted. The collection manages to add life and a light heartedness to traditional looks.

To Die For




This is the most literal interpretation of the statement yet. This editorial caught my attention, because of its use of graphically shocking images. It makes its point. It's to die for

Throw Back


Here's a throwback to old school style. With the renewed interest in Wayfarers, the Club Masters provide a gentle medium, between looking like a hipster and being unique. These are the definition of cool and look good with big hair.

Essentials


This is the first of a series of essential items that every man should own as part of their wardrobe. First up, is a pair of grey jeans, either slim fit or straight leg, the colour is very versatile and looks good with any shoes from boots to plimsoles. Time to give black a break and try something neutral and versatile
