Daily Desire: Help I need Mittens!
I was talking to Daniel today, and I asked him a most pertinent question: "Do you think that people our age wearing mittens might just look a little insane?". His reply, "Of course not". He might have just been humouring me but the challenge was set before me; find a pair of mittens that I could wear (when winter comes not now, cause that would just be insane). Apparently it's not that easy, I've come across countless mittens that look like they belong with a parka, and these are not what I was looking for at all. I want something knitted, something that reminds me of my childhood, except you know... not sown into the sleeves of my jumper. I was becoming disheartened until I came across these;
Not.

The unsung Suh Sang (Young)
Melbourne's heat wave may be too intense for some indoor barbecue bulgogi, but there is definitely something frying up in Korea.
My initial concept of Korean men's fashion was surmised from YouTube videos of hip hop bands and your garden variety of label whoring international students clogging up Collins St during Boxing Day sales. This was changed after befriending a like-minded Dior Homme addict from Korea, who introduced me to some of the most innovative fashion you could ever hope for.

Magazine subscriptions for a guy at Christmas
Stuck for ideas for Christmas? How about the gift that keeps on giving (for twelve months anyway). Magazines make a brilliant gift at Christmas time, mostly by virtue of the fact that they’ll receive issues until next Christmas, and because you’ll often find bonus gifts are included in the subscription offer. The better the fashion magazine, the better the offer. So if you’re looking to give a magazine subscription to a man about town this Christmas, which titles should he really be reading?
if you're after a subscription for a lady in your life, read Tania's Top 5 fashion magazine gifts for girls (and with the amount of magazines she buys, she should be an expert!)

Preview of Vincent & Vincent, A/W 08
We've been adoring women's leather jackets for quite some time, but finding hot men's versions hasn't proved quite as easy. Enter Vincent & Vincent - designer label in leather goods from Perth, Australia.
We were fortunate enough to be given a preview of the Autumn / Winter 2008 range - and all we have to say is WOW! The jackets are hand-tailored; made with Italian leather, carved horn buttons, and silk linings.

Manolo for Men
There's no argument from me that Manolo Blahnik is absolutely the best known shoe maker in the world thanks to the girls from Sex and the City, and his heels for the girls are absolutely amazing. So it should be no surprise with the rise in men's fashion that Manolo would soon be making shoes for the boys. According to UK Vogue the collection is quite small with only six pieces that include a somewhat out-there leopard print sandal.

Metallics for men: Adrien Brody
We've seen much in the way of the metallics trend for women, from metallic ballet flats and metallic heels, to metallic leggings. But for men, the trend hasn't taken off nearly as much.
In fact, away from the runway, we haven't seen much of metallics on men at all. That is, until Adrien Brody wore a full silver metallic suit to the premiere of The Darjeeling Limited - a move not many male celebrities would be bold enough to attempt.

Turbans as a fashion trend for men
We've seen the turban fashion trend evolve from distinct turban into a turban-cum-headband, but we never thought we'd see the day when the trend was pushed into men's collections.
