Hermes | Fashion classics with a new twist

For fall Hermes took several fashion classics and gave them an unexpected new twist. Like a navy trench coat that was double breasted and got an extra zipper. Or the pink sweater worn over a turtle neck, combined with an orange belt. Not to mention the red jersey pants with matching jumper, yet contrasting orange shoes laces. But despite these ‘odd’ accents, the Hermes man still is as properly dressed as ever come fall. He’ll look sharp in his navy colored suits and casual in his cashmere sweaters. His leather pants and coats will give his style that edgy touch. As perfect leather shoes, gloves and bags proof he is a man who cares about details. And the item that probably says the most about this man is his croc leather jacket; making him fashion forward, perhaps even trend setting.

JOHN VARVATOS | Sophisticated mixture of fabrics

The collection is all about creating a bridge between opposite universe, crossbreeding English dandyism with New York modern coolness. The designer mixed different texture - smooth and rough materials. The new tailored silhouette has a subtle hourglass shape, a stronger shoulder and boot-cut trousers. Eye and touch are constantly stimulated: traditional patterns such as herringbone and checks are brushed away on short coats. Knit is bonded with leather on an overcoat to get a firm feel, needlepunched shirts mix knit and fabric. Bouclè knits add more texture, while suits are also cut in knitted fabric. The used brushed tweeds, artisan finished leathers, hand knit sweaters and washed velvet shoes created a timeless and modern sophisticated elegance

Arnold & Son | HM Perpetual Moon

In true Arnold & Son tradition, the brand has released one of the most alluring and precise moonphase watches. The HM Perpetual Moon, with one of the biggest moonphase apertures on the market, rightfully joins the Arnold & Son Royal Collection. The Royal Collection is inspired by the timepieces created in the early part of John Arnold's life, and pay tribute to the watches he produced for King George III and members of the royal court. The timepieces in the Royal Collection demonstrate the brand's prowess in traditional watchmaking and classical decorative arts.

A perfect place makes a perfect wedding | The Dylan Amsterdam


A perfect place for a romantic wedding, what else do you want to find for your special day. I visited several hotels throughout the world and my favorite is still The Dylan Amsterdam.
Tucked behind the historical facade directly on the Keizersgracht you will find the boutique hotel. The design of the hotel is warm and characteristic. Entering the front door you immediately will feel comfortable and more then welcome.
The restaurant, called Vinkeles, with 1 Michelin Star and 17 points of the Gault Millau gives you and your guests the greatest fine-dining moments.
To enjoy your wedding in romantic surroundings The Dylan is one of the best places to book.
