Art & About

March 5, 2015

Shot this creative 'event look' at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. Navy with black window pane check bespoke suit by Wil Valor, bespoke shirt by Ganton, Vivienne Westwood velvet slippers, Persol sunglasses, vintage black onyx ring and Wil Valor silk butterfly lapel. This ensemble would be perfect for a cocktail event or special occasion.

Tip: When designing or purchasing a suit, try side tab adjustment instead of belt loops. You don't have to try and coordinate a belt to your shoes if you have these.

Coastal Breeze

March 4, 2015

Warm days on the coast call for a relaxed comfortable vibe. Cotton and linen are your go to fabric choices and 'sans socks' and light layers to stay cool. Vans sneakers and Persol sunglasses compliment this complete ensemble from Saba.

Tip: canvas white trainers can be treated with a pre wash spray and thrown in the washing machine to freshen up. Always remove and treat laces separately.

British Heritage

March 3, 2015

The British influence on 'The Rocks' area of Sydney is evident in this mix of iron and stone. I thought it would be apt to find a complimentary outfit for this historic part of town.

Modern Dandy mixes prints with earth tones and simple monochromatic accessories. Australian designer Aquila have been a stalwart in the mens footwear business for decades and this entire ensemble is from their A/W 15 collection, be sure to check it out.

Tip: earth tones like chocolate brown can be a nice change if you cool them down with blues.
