Junya Watanabe Jacket with Patch Detail

Everything seems to be usual except for the patch detail which stopped my visual motion and took my breath away. From Junya Watanabe's fall/winter 2010 collection, this black jacket with faux leather patch detail on both shoulders and on the outside of both sleeves is an exciting enhancement of this tailored piece. Seeing myself of this on a more casual getup rather than a perfectionist formal look, it's, again, an exciting tailored piece. Get it here.

Jil Sander "Bowling Style" Leather Weekender Bag

If there could be anything to be change or to be bought this summer, I highly recommend this weekender bag from Jil Sander. In bowling bag style, the sophistication is felt from the packaging of three aspects: the black leather's right gloss, gold metal hardwares, and the silhouette. Perfect for short travels or ambush escapades, imagine an effortless look with the irony if this bag. Get it at Browns.

Lanvin Leather Trench Coat

This one's a perfect splurge or another reason to blink those eyes while purchasing. I love how Lanvin evolves to something Japanese aesthetic. The woolen sleeves and the leather combo looks extremely tough and, needless to say, edgy. Though we don't have to guess how much this would cost as it would be pricey if you're looking for plain functionality, still it's Lanvin and we're talking about the whole package here. Available at Browns.

Dries Van Noten Leather Messenger Bag

For that off duty look, here's a messenger bag from Dries Van Noten that looks perfect to blend with the said motif. A common take of the normal shape or silhouette, the bag goes with noticeable leather strap key holders adding a cool touch of it - more of youthful. Get it at Browns.

Miharayasuhiro Suede Sandal Boot

The movement of fashion innovation is continuously ascending and I am excited for the day when footwear like this would become plain as Jane to the majority, or, become boring and has a lot of revamped versions. But staying to our present time, this would be appreciated by several people for sure. It's not that the style is quite unconvincing for some but it isn't too familiar for them yet. As I call myself a "menswear addict", the greatest thing about the whole perspective is that I could easily sort out things that are uniquely beautiful to uniquely ugly. And this one's on the positive side of course.

A perfect addition to that summer look, this black and brown sandal with black suede boot from Miharayasuhiro is a minimal semi-hybrid footwear. "A leather strap rests over the toes. Lace-up detail. Stacked flat sole. Suede detail reaches mid calf." The design is interesting as the rear part of the sandal is a replica of the formal leather shoe complementing the whole unique layout. Available at Browns.

Lanvin Spring/Summer 2010 Macramé and Leather Sandals

I don't know what to say but I nearly cried for this after seeing the whole look. I have been a big fan of Lanvin for quite sometime already and this made it even worst. Seriously! And to Browns, cheers to your new stocks. I wasn't able to visit the online store lately but seriously, when I came across with the products, the amazement was overflowing and the excitement, even if I didn't come to order, was non-stop. Well anyway back to the sandals, the trashy combination of cords, ribbons, and threads, improperly intertwined aren't that annoying at all. I love how it evokes different feel, a bohemian maybe or another colorful ethnic style. Coming in two colors, you can see the difference when looked closely on the macramé patterned details. Get it here.
