LARDINI - FALL/WINTER 2017 LOOKBOOK














Armed with little else but a passion for style and elegance, Luigi Lardini started out in the Seventies at the tender age of eighteen by creating a menswear collection. Intuitively sensing the potential behind his choices, his brother Andrea, then 21, and his sister Lorena, 19, joined forces with him whilst their father provided the financial backing for their start-up process. In 1978, a tailoring workshop was opened which soon aroused the attention of some fashion greats. Within a few years, the list of customers who enlisted Lardini’s services to make garments for them had grown and included some distinguished international names. Business burgeoned and the Lardinis took on different roles, acting in different yet complementary capacities to foster corporate development: Luigi handled the style issues, Andrea, with his university degree in computer engineering, took care of the technological side of matters whilst Lorena took on the responsibility for administration and financial management. A few years later, their younger sister Annarita also joined the family company assuming the position of quality control on all the garments leaving the company plants.

Fired by their business success and prompted by a desire to expand into new directions, in time the Lardini family resolutely took on a new endeavour and sought to forge a collection in their own name.

So it was that in 1993 the first Lardini menswear collection emerged from their workshops.

HOW TO WEAR A TIE WITH SWAG














Fashion rules tells you that the tip of your tie should reach your belt. 

But it's okay to wear your tie longer, you only have to remind yourself to 1 rule and 1 rule only. 
Wear it the Agnelli way and never ever the Trump way.

DRAKE'S MAKER & HABERDASHER - FALL/WINTER 2017
















Drake's is becomes more and more a lifestyle brand, it makes you longing for a breezy walk through the woods or along the beach. After your stroll you are enjoying that glass of wine with your loved one. Shit this collection makes me too much of a romanticus. The cable knits and whale cord pants are bringing back sweet memories of the late 80s early 90s Ralph Lauren collections. I love the use of colors, the purples, yellow and red.
