FASHION AND STYLE: JUST MOI!

JUST MOI!

It's just moi or me in english. Just a few pictures of moi. Oh dear! 
As one said...
There was a young man called Charles Ampadu, 
Who had the a fabulous dreadlocks rasta,
Who talks about the World earning its natural place.
You and I are full of virtue and respect for man and the universe.
So let us keep it that way.

Zanacco Spring/Summer 2011

There is a saying that one can always tell more about you according to the shoes you wear. And there is nothing worse for a man to wear brand new outfit and find him wearing a worn out shoe. Believe it or not it is happening.
So interestingly enough Jamasine Zanacco - Creative Director and I shared the same thought on the above issue where she later introduced me to the Zanacco shoe collection.

The Zanacco footwear range has an individuality twist to its designs. It's compact, versatile and very comfortable to wear. All their products are 100% made in Italy and they can also be said to use ecological materials and processes. So therefore you can say Zanacco is Eco-friendly. How good is that?

Signature Midnight blue sole.
The classic range is  all handcrafted, modern, sleek and the detailing is what makes it a fine shoe to wear. Not only does it play a prominent role in complimenting your look but also it puts you in class of your own. What makes the Zanacco shoe collection different from the rest is its distinctive recongnisable 'Truely Made In Italy' signature midnight blue sole.



The Causal Range is also hand crafted using natural products and not only is it luxurious but durable. It's different, eye catching and fun to wear. Well I can certainly say it's trendy and it would for sure go with any outfit you wear. There is nothing better looking than wearing casual cropped suit and teaming it up with trainers form the Zanacco's casual range. Even better there are so many ways you can wear Zanacco footwear to compliment your look.





Their accessory range is something worth mentioning as well. The belts, holdhall bags and the document case are all handcrafted.

Zanacco Spring/Summer 2011

Eco-dandyism. A definitively new concept.

This new eco-luxury shoe collection draws deep from the inspiring artisanal craftmanship of Italy's regional shoemakers

Luxury devotees will appreciate that this collection is constructed wholly in Italy.

The slim-line leather loafers are subtle and sleek, and the coloured brogues move easily from the office to the evening.

Sneakers retain the same innovative gradation of shades: burnt orange, blue suede, with eclectic touches such as stamped leather and eco-soles that use biodegradable vegetable oils.

Zanacco is convinced that luxury needs a global eco-conscience.

Visit our home town, Vigevano, (a short drive from Milano), and explore our unique quality for yourself.

1st Anniversary Party Of Wolf & Badger

What beasts.

Contrary to common knowledge, the wolf is the quiet one, and the badger the angrier.

Humans can live with any animal, except perhaps the Tyrannosaur.

We are talking Cretaceous.

These two English beasts are polar opposites, and so are the perfect representatives for the brand


Zanacco combine these diversities in their unique creations

Tight and obliging, mens' coats give you protection and colour.

Womens' styles offer figure-fitting or floaty, as you wish.

There is a jewellery range, which is relatively minimal, but utterly complementary.

It's worth the trek to Ledbury Road to see for yourself.

You will look better. www.wolfandbadger.com

Golfino At Harrods.

Ladies' golf is the first time that the sport has looked appealing.

But they haven't forgotten man-style, of course.

Ladies have a neat and elegant interpretation, with customised military-style badges and clean, strong colours, such as pink, orange and red.

I was at the breakfast meeting at the office of the 'A Suit That Fit'. on glasshouse road, where Mighel Crittin( Product Development Manager) talked us through their collection of suits and the inspiration behind it. Like all other design creation one needs to something to inspire them to create or to base their inspiration on.

Later on I was give the opportunity to come out with my own suit design that fits well on the body. My inspiration was based on me as an individual. Oh well, one has to be their own inspiration.

I designed a cobalt blue jacket; the jacket has cropped sleeves and skinny lapels. It had one button with skinny-fit brown trousers which are cropped at the ankle.  A low waist on the trousers with visible button flies and buttoned cuffs to your shirt.
