dunhill Carbon Fiber Biometric Wallet

Although the brand has been mostly highlighted for its menswear, dunhill presents one of the more interesting gadgets of the year as it adds a Carbon Fiber Biometric wallet to its range of luxury goods. Aside from the look, the wallet’s most interesting feature is that it can only be opened via a fingerprint sensor which registers up to 10 different fingerprints with attached software. Even more noteworthy is its Bluetooth connectivity via a smart phone, allowing you to trigger an alarm within a certain distance if god forbid you lose your $1,400 wallet. Battery life on the piece is 1-3 weeks so charging is essential.

Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2011-2012


Tim Blanks review

The music for Bottega Veneta today featured an ominous David Lynch soundtrack, which amplified the dark, undone mood of the collection. ("Austere," the press notes called it.) Tomas Maier really had another director in mind, though—the Italian Michelangelo Antonioni, who started out in monochrome neorealism before introducing startling Technicolor into his repertoire in the classic Red Desert. That was kind of the order of things with the clothes the designer showed.

Maier too started with monochrome: dark wool suits, the fabric textured, distressed-looking, the jacket lapels turned up and doubled by the addition of a lapel scarf; trousers tucked loosely into ankle boots; shirts untucked. The first impression was raw. One jacket zipped open across a horizontal center seam, coming apart. Then came the shots of Technicolor: eye-popping orange-red or gemstone green cords, a bright blue duffel, a trench in that red shade.

Salvatore Ferragamo Fall/Winter 2011-2012


Peeking through the seams of Salvatore Ferragamo’s latest outing was a nod to the easy cool of the 70′s and a desire to show that menswear can be both masculine and remarkably soft with warm sentiments. Embracing a relaxed pacing of separates and outerwear, fall’s collection boasted dark rich hues of autumn, contrasted against sensational flesh tones. Resonating a refined luxury, carried off with little to no effort, the range quickly turned to a lifestyle, gently touching upon western and militaristic influences. From strong tailored overcoats and suede trousers to buttery soft leather, Salvatore Ferragamo excelled in paying compliments to the heart of their man–robust, personal and adaptive.

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2011-2012


The latest collection from Louis Vuitton finds its inspiration in an unlikely source, more precisely–Amish. Subscribing to a bleak state of affairs, the latest outing from Louis Vuitton saw a blackout where suiting was the main attraction. Playing with technical fabrics and a jarring use of vibrant orange, the lineup consisted of the French house playing its hand at tailoring while utilizing modern lines and shapes for a sophisticated feat.
