Calibre Autumn Winter 2012 Collection

Luc Wiesman — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:18:40 +0000

Winter 2012 sees the return to elegance, cleanly cut tailoring with a contemporary edge. After a decade of dark, grey winters, colour becomes the driving force behind the Calibre AW12 collection. Shades of mustard, olive, blue and cherry are injected heavily into this season’s collection. Strong beats of colour are notable in tailored coats, jacquard sweaters, fine knits and more prominently in slim leg pants. Colour is the new black this winter and the Calibre man is not afraid to experiment with it. (WWW)

BMW 1958 R50

I have never been more intrigued at the thought of learning how to ride a motorcycle. The BMW 1958 R50 is a vintage vehicular work of art. Just look at it: powerful enough to pull a sidecar, reliable, built to stand the test of time, and downright stunning. BMW’s signature black color scheme with white pin striping is painting perfection…the black has even become famous for it’s superior quality. It’s no surprise that BMW set the standard 1958 and continues to build some of the most well-loved motorcycles on the planet. (Via bmwcafe - WWW)

Gucci Leather and Diamond Canvas Tote

Staff — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:54:32 +0000

The Gucci Leather and Diamond Canvas Tote pretty much screams “luxury,” but I wouldn’t expect anything less from a Gucci accessory. With a capacity of approximately 41.5 litres, it’s spacious enough for weekends away and just the right size for carry-on essentials like your laptop and favorite in-flight book. And with its black-on-black diamond pattern and leather details, it’s distinctive without being showy. (Price: £895.00 BUY)

G-Star White Yard Pyro Sneakers

I was intrigued the minute I saw the word “pyro,” though I’m not sure what the G-Star White Yard Pyro Sneakers have to do with compulsively starting fires. Unexplained name aside, they’re a pretty cool pair of kicks: a classic high-top urban look with a padded collar and tongue, and a soupçon of more high fashion style in the form of bright white leather and blue suede trimmings. (Price: $135.00 BUY)

Yves Saint-Laurent Black Card Case

Staff — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:57:00 +0000

I fell for this one the moment I saw it. I’ve always loved the cigarette-case-as-wallet look, but the Yves Saint-Laurent Black Card Case is an elegant alternative. It’s super simple – black pebbled leather, embossed silver logo, tone on tone stitching – but it’s the kind of extra touch that gives your look a dash of unexpected style than less sartorially-inclined men would never even think of. (Price: $250.00 BUY)

Staff — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:09:31 +0000

Italian luxury brand Etro is known for bright designs and upbeat prints, both of which are on display in the Etro Slim Knitted-Silk Striped Tie. The squared-off ties are available in several vibrant colorways: a coral, turquoise, and sandy version with a Mediterranean feel; a pink, blue, and monochrome interpretation; and a calming blue-on-blue rendition. These ties aren’t for the faint-hearted, but for those brave enough to take the plunge they’re guaranteed to leave an impression. (Price: £100-£105 BUY)

Raf Simons Lace-Strapped High Top Sneakers

That sound you just heard was your jaw hitting the floor because if you’re anything like me, that was your reaction when you saw the Raf Simons Lace-Strapped High Top Sneakers. They are the very definition of “show-stopping” – crisp white leather, blue canvas panels, and a closure made up of a whole lot of intricate lacing. They’d be overwhelming with anything but the simplest, cleanest outfit, but they’re perfect for making a statement. (Price: £345.00 BUY)

Gucci Striped Leather Briefcase

Briefcases are pretty boring, right? They’re all the same shape, the same few colors, the same similar materials…

Well, not this one. The Gucci Striped Leather Briefcase is breaking the mold with premium black leather and two bold red and white stripes. Audacious enough to catch eyes, but still respectable enough to be office-appropriate – it’s amazing what one little detail can do. (Price: £2,660.00 BUY)

My first thought when I saw these shoes was “Moon boots.” My second thought was “But they’re damn cool moon boots.” Givenchy is taking their sneaker game to the next level with these Buckled Leather High Tops, available for preorder now. The light grey leather upper, buckle details, and ultra clean lines make for a seriously futuristic pair of footwear. (Price: $606.00 BUY)

Thom Browne White Wingtip Brogue with Micro Sole

Staff — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:31:20 +0000

White shoes: it’s easy to go wrong, but amazing when you do it right. Bright, eccentric, and decadent, the White Wingtip Brogue with Micro Sole by Thom Browne is a whimsical pair of shoes reminiscent of early 20th century America. In keeping with that theme and the Thom Browne aesthetic, the micro-sole bears the brand’s red-white-and-blue colour scheme and signature tricolour ribbon tab on the heel. (Price: £635.00 BUY)
