Style

I have never been able to comprehend this new era of men that walk around with watches worth anywhere between a small car to a Bugatti sports car on their wrist in equivalent value whilst wearing tracksuits and shorts and basically looking like dishevelled homeless people. 

Our latest scarf pays homage to the early 90's, to the neck ties of Nina Ricci, to the style of Prince and to the jewellery that went with the period, all set to a Tiffany blue background. 

It is currently in the queue to be produced in Italy. We are taking pre-orders if you are interested. Text +614131408994

Date: 6th April

By appointment only. Book by text +61413140994

We are looking for 8 appointments only.

Meet Eddie our tailor. He will be offering two options specifically for black tie.

1. A plain black wool MTM tuxedo for $1200.00 . Two piece only. 
2. A Loro Piana super 150's black wool tuxedo for $3200.00 . Two piece only. 

Of course, you can order you navy suits and sports jackets at the same time, but this particular session is focused on dinner suits. 

I will preside over each appointment to help style the suit and I am not taking commission on any of the sales, I am merely wanting our customers to have the best possible outcome on their evening wear, and if you want to order you black bow ties and accessories at the same time, so be it.

A big thank you to Viva Vayspap who always stops by the Studio in Vaucluse when she's thinking about silk and accessories when she has a photo assignment. Last week it was to shoot writer Kathy Lette for the cover of The Weekend Australian and she chose a hand-fringed red tasselled silk evening scarf in satin. This image, by Alina Golina, came out beautifully. Very happy to have made a small contribution to this one. 

Firstly let me say thank you to everyone that contributed to the portrait competition. Each and every work took up your time which I am extremely grateful for. It was shaping up to be a dismal failure, in the end, worked out to be one of the best if not the best competition to date.

On road trips, I like to make playlists that match the scenery of where we're going. When my wife and I drive to South Florida, as we leave and hit the open road, I'll play bluegrass, classic Americana, and country, and then soul and Motown as we get closer to Atlanta. By the time we see our first palm trees, it'll be Caribbean, salsa, and reggae. For smaller road trips, I always end up landing on Classic Motown, Funk, and R&B.

For myself I want either a bright shirt and plain shorts or else a plain shirt and vibrant shorts. Or, as Darium exhibits, some popping silk to accentuate the ensemble whether it be plain or not. But my overall preference is to never do a vibrant silk with a vibrant shirt. Nor to do a vibrant pair of shorts with a vibrant shirt. You must exercise some restraint and find that balance so you don't look like overwhelming gangster who wears Versace and gold chains. 

I love it when we hear from you and especially when we get it right. This was what we back from Hanson the other day, after he received his single piece black satin silk bow tie from us which he wore with his wedding ensemble.
