Tod's Spring/ Summer 2015 Aesthetics

Today we have the opportunity to share with you some italian menswear aesthetics by Tods. We both fell in love with the Spring/Summer 2015 Collection, so we decided to create some images together featuring pieces from the collection. We got the opportunity to shoot under the light of the talented photographer Julien Thiverny on the stunning terrace of Le Pavillon de la Reine Hotel in le Marais Paris. 

The Footwear collection includes a big variation of loafers in monochromatic shades to colourful ones of red, yellow and blue. Bags are stately and masculine in beige and blue leather and come as carryalls or plumper briefcases for work. Finally, belts, bracelets and wallets conclude the leather goods in more shades of blue. For more information visit now the official Tod's site and find out more masterpieces. 

Tommy Hilfiger Peoples Original Collection

Tommy Hilfiger and I are pleased to announce the launch of People’s Place Originals Collection. Its name and overarching inspiration pay homage to People’s Place, the first store Tommy Hilfiger opened as a teenager along with two friends in his hometown of Elmira, New York. For Spring 2015, the collection is influenced by Tommy’s lifelong passion for music, iconic rock-and-roll imagery, and Hilfiger Denim’s “prep with an edge” spirit. The pieces like the one that i am wearing reference the eclectic spirit of New York City’s music scene in the ‘70s, from album cover art to tour posters, celebrating a sense of individuality and reflects some of the iconic imagery that’s at the heart of rock music.”

I am lucky enough to already have the best T-Shirt from the collection. I wear it and feel like I just came out of my favorite band’s concert. There’s an easygoing  attitude that comes with it. Plus, grey is one of my favorite colours. I styled it off with my favorite biker jacket and jeans was the obvious  way, right? It’s an all-day, simple outfit that combines all-time classic items like your favorite pair of old, washed-out jeans, the second-hand biker jacket that you just had to have from that open-air market somewhere in Europe and a t-shirt that’s about cool music and having fun. Top that off with your favorite wool beanie for the cold days and it’s a go! Also remember, denim and tshirts will always be ‘a thing’! One last thing! Make sure you choose your favorite piece from the People Place’s Collection while listening to David Bowie’s ‘Life in Mars’! You just have to!

The People’s Place Originals collection will be available at Hilfiger Denim locations in Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America, and on tommy.com from February 2, 2015.

Diesel Fall/Winter 2014-15

A few days ago i had the chance to make a photoshoot with Diesel featuring pieces from their Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection. The vibe was rock for sure and i felt like being in a rock music festival. The one piece that stood out the most was the military wool jacket. One of Nicola Formichetti's favorite piece. Inspired by the original military uniform. Short on the waist because it was originally worn with high waist pants, felt wool and with big frontal pockets, this is the true vintage wool military jacket and we love it. Of course i felt in love also with that leather studded biker jacket. A true master piece. Visit now their official site here and check every single piece. Take a look of the photos below and feel free to share your thoughts.

Navy September

Navy is propably the color that you can easily wear every season no matter what. When it comes to jackets navy is even better. For this fall outfit i paired it with a beige pair of throusers and a classic Ralph Lauren shirt. My latest obsession the Henry Bartons slippes, this time in a light brown, couldnt be part of this outfit.

Casual September

September is the casual month. Dont try to force yourself in a suit after vacations. Choose an outfit that you can easily go either to work or for an early drink. Go for a well tailored pair of pants, a comfy cardigan and of course a stylish pair of slippers. The ones that I am wearing are handcrafted straight from Mexico by Henry Bartones. Lastly dont forget to take with you a backpack that you can easily carry everything you will need.

Diving into the beauty of the Greek Islands

My summer journey around the Greek islands is still on. In this post i wanted to share with you the beauty of the Aegean sea and the luxurious Mykonian vibe.

Italian Boy

Italian style was my inspiration for the second day of Milan Fashion Week. I chose to wear total outfit from the new brand Two Italian Boys. A stand out blazer was the key piece. Round sunglasses by Illesteva is another piece that every gentleman should own. Go for it gentlemen! Wooven shoes completed my look. Which piece is your favorite?

My kind of Essentials

The last period there are definitely some things that i can not live without so i thought to share them with you. My Armani watch is definitely one of them. I wear it every single day the last one year and i have to say that it became part of myself. My Celine and Ray-Ban sunglasses are next to the list. You can not complete a successful outfit whithout wearing the right pair. The Hermes belt is a must and finally two of my favorite perfumes at the moment from Korres and Ralph Lauren.

Modern Classic

Classic doesnt mean old fashion. And thats what Gentlemans Diary Magazine represents. Classic values but with a modern twist. New shapes, initiative cuts and rich colors. For this outfit post i chose white pants and a blue boudle breasted jacket. But my favorite item was the shoes. An item from the Converse X Maison Martin Margiela Collaboration. A hand painted converse that when you where it it chracks out differently and becomes unique. Your style?

Feel free to write me your thoughts!

Lost In Amsterdam

Hello everyone,

A few days ago i had the opportunity to visit Amsterdam. Such an amazing city and vibe. When i was organizing that trip i never expected that kind of city. Those canals were just perfect and everyone was enjoying the moment. I was inspired by that mood and i came up with the following outfit. A beige Brooks Brothers 5-pocket chino was my base. A floral shirt and a light blue linel jacket by H&M came to complete the outfit. Casual shoes were essential to make me feel comfortable. And lastly if you havent visited Amsterdam yet then you are doing a big mistake.

Until the next time, keep up the gentle vibe dudes!
