The Big Black Book






So the other day I was perusing my local bookseller and found Esquire Magazine's new Big Black Book. I must say - I am very impressed. Practical advice, serious style, and amazing inspiration. Here's what I love and thought was noteworthy:

The rugged edge and spirit of luxe travel to untouched beaches evoked in Louis Vuitton's ad campaign with sir Sean Connery.


The drama and opulence of Giorgio Armani.


The exotic locale and jovial love of Brunello Cucinelli and the ad with the Mongolian tribe.




The sinister set of Barneys New York featuring Oxxford and impeccable tailoring displayed.


The attention to detail and brilliant design aesthetic of allegri and their fabulous outerwear.

The Hermès peacoat in double face broadcloth designed by Véronique Nichanian in fabulous green and gray. (US$5200)


The casual elegance of the shawl collar cardigan.


The look of irritation on Tom Ford's face in the new Grey Vetiver advert.



The reemergence of carbon fibre as a trend in both fashion, automobiles, and electronics.


The pairing of grays and purples.


The easy way to wear a scarf in five different looks.


The cartoon style advertisement of John Lobb in brilliant yellow with a humourous take on their over the top and fabulous customer service.


The Phillip Lim 3.1 cotton blend coat with detachable rabbit fur lined vest. (US$995) (In NYC call 212.334.1160 for more information or to purchase).


Globe Trotter luggage.
