Review: Samsonite B’Lite suitcase range

Travelling in style is not just about looking great when you step off a plane – it’s about turning your suitcase into a mobile wardrobe. That means fitting in everything you need (without earning a dreaded ‘overweight luggage’ tag) and having it arrive in the best possible condition when you get there. To narrow down the options on how to do that, we took a…

5 ways to carry off a monochromatic wardrobe

One wouldn’t argue the association of summer with colours, be it in the garden or on clothing racks. But if you’re tilting away from the predictable colour palette of the spring 2012 season, then black and white should be your protocol. Londoners and Melbournians are often criticised for purposely injecting this colour palette on the streets of these cities, but you can’t blame them, a…

Calling out softly

You witness a lot of peacocking at fashion weeks; sometimes it suits the personality, sometimes a look has been obviously composed in order for its wearer to get photographed.

Save Savile Row

There was a time that it was a bastion for men’s clothing, when its customers intrinsically knew when to doff and when to stand. Those days are behind us. We have moved on, Savile Row (rightly) hasn’t. Or, at least, it hasn’t wholly. There are some who would argue that Savile Row, the London street that defined men’s suits for over 150 years, is now…
