Empire’s Union T-shirt

Romano from Marseille — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:00:53 +0000

Topman has just released tees from a new brand : Empire’s Union. As their designs are very original, it’s been really hard to pick one above all. This one is called Tupello, and it’s finally my favourite one. This, because of the mixing of a human face and a star which is particularly well made. The only snag is the price which could appear expensive. But there’s a last thing you don’t know : the collection is all made in Europe.

£55 from Topman

Dr Denim Jeans

Romano from Marseille — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:43:55 +0000

Dr Denim, a Swedish jeansmaker, really makes good pieces. An example with these grey trousers, which look very nice. As every wardrobe has to contain a pair of grey jeans, you must complete yours. If you intend to do it, think about those jeans which quality is told to be good.

£59 from Netclothing

Grenson Boots

Romano from Marseille — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:15:23 +0000

I nearly softened at seeing those desert boots from Grenson. 100% leather made, their tan/brown color mixed with this black binding makes them really original… and sober. I think we can call them a success! I was not a big fan of desert boots before seeing these ones. I am now…

Oliver Spencer Duffle Coat

Romano from Marseille — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:07:04 +0000

my-Wardrobe website has released plenty of coats for the upcoming season. As it appears that duffle coats are gonna be in the trend, I’m introducing you this one from Oliver Spencer. I’ve never heard something wrong about them, then it must be a quality coat. A thing that’s not a supposition is the general appearance, which is absolutely amazing. Red check lining at the body and hood, brown leather squared details supporting some wooden toggles… I guess we’re almost reaching perfection now :)

G-Star Chinos

Romano from Marseille — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:19:02 +0000

I’m Usually not a big fan of G-Sar as I confess checking their products rarely. I just came across these Chinos from them and they look particularly well cutted. The only thing we could criticize them about is the TOO visible logo tag from the back but don’t worry! Just check ASOS video, it’s perfectly hidden by a normal sized top. A last thing : we really like rolled up trousers ;)

£90 from ASOS

Sneakers from Ssense.com

Romano from Marseille — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 13:50:35 +0000

Have you ever spend hours looking for a pair of sneakers on Ssense.com. I was in this case so I decided myself to write this article. So, here is a selection of sneakers found on the website. It took me around a year to choose those ones :D

What you’ve got here :

More Information after the jump.

Converse by John Varvatos – Chuck Taylor Leather Hi

Those Converse are really particular with their sober red leather contrasted with some black laces and a distressed cap toe. I think it usually takes around a month for a pair of Converse to be presentable (spoiled). This one is ready to wear as soon as you buy it.

$110 from Ssense

Nike – Sweet Classic Hi

Sweet Classic : their name fit them well. It seems that those hi tops Nike are the “top dog” of sneakers culture. Their classic/old school style is just amazing with a perfect render.

£59 (was £100) from Ssense

Diesel – I’m Pression Mid

Did you expect such beautiful sneakers from Diesel? I confess I did not. They’re containing a blue linen which constrasts well with their white leather body. Add a black translucent detail from the heel and you have those wonderful futurist looking sneakers.

$105 (was $150) from Ssense

Spring Court – B2 Eyestray

Let’s finish with some French sneakers (our name is French Truckers for god’s sake!). I’m really surprised about the contrast created by their denim body plus the brown suede part following the laces. It’s just making them really original. I usually not advice you guys to choose Hi top for some usual canvas sneakers like Spring Court’s ones but, let’s make an exception for those.

$60 (was $85) from Ssense

Marc Jacobs Messenger Bag

Romano from Marseille — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:17:27 +0000

THE messenger bag by Marc Jacobs. It looks awesome, isn’t it? Containing an adjustable shoulder strap as for carrying handles, all this stuff is brown coloured and it constats marvelously with it’s body. Of course it’s 100% leather.

$478 from Ssense

Grey Cardigan

Romano from Marseille — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:50:17 +0000

What a nice piece from this Danish brand named Humor. Their creativity is undeniable and you can see it in any piece of their collection, which is “happily” colored. This leads me to introduce you the cardigan you can see on the picture above. Just check the originality and the contrast created by those yellow buttons. To conclude, let’s talk about the price, quite reasonable if the quality is proven.

£40 from Oki-ni

Cheap Monday Jeans

Romano from Marseille — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:57:00 +0000

Hi guys, check out these unwashed jeans from Cheap Monday. You certainly already know that raw denim is part of this season’s trend, besides they’re timeless. You already know that Cheap Monday denims are the perfect compromise between quality and price too. Then gimme a reason not to pick ‘em. :)

£41,95 from Urban Excess

TST Sneakers

Romano from Marseille — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:37:36 +0000

Remember this Japanese shoes brand I told you about in a previous article (entitled TST Trainers)? Just know that Yoox has release plenty of new colors and models. This one caught my attention because of its cap toe which is quite unusual for a pair of sneakers. While it still needs to be proved, the quality of the leather is looking good.

£89 from Yoox
