Griffin + Woolrich
The approach to outerwear is two-fold for many. By default, it should function as a layer of protection, shielding against the elements, yet by sheer necessity it also has to fit the stylistic approach of the wearer. Not necessarily adhering to trends but taking into account consistency throughout the seasons. Taking this notion to its…

Casely-Hayford Autumn Winter 2018
The concept of the uniform has long been defined how men should dress. While London style has taken many forms over time, with Sartorial composition dominating for long periods.

Aston Martin x Hogan
Collaborations between lifestyle and fashion brands are very much representative of the desire to have items that work simultaneously into our stylistic lives but also our living environment.

Cartier x Hodinkee | Vintage Glasses
For me, the outstanding feature about these vintage Cartier, rather ironically, is that there is not much to them.
