Kris Van Assche on FORWARD by REVOLVE

Contraste Sneakers in Off-White $648

Panneau Sneaker in Off-White $594

The beloved Forward by Revolve has been boldly carrying upcoming and promising designer names. The coming of Kris Van Assche and Yohji Yamamoto made it absolutely one-of-a-kind online shopping experience. Though not very affectionate with K.V.A for Dior Homme, his own line seems to be more accurate in expressing his talent.

I've been struggling with these two futuristic warrior sneakers shown above. The Panneau seems to be more wearable, but the extended suede flap of Contraste is simply just COOL! Hmm... Can I get both?...

P.S. The Panneau reminds me of Balenciaga :)

Balenciaga & Bubrberry Prorsum at the RENOWNED Lane Crawford

Balenciaga Leather Boots With Laser Cut Patch Detail
HK$7,600 & Ankle Extension Piece HK$2,600

Brushed Leather Briefcase HK$14,000

Cashmere Cable Knit Scart HK$3,100

The renowned Lane Crawford is no doubt the flagship of high-end fashion in Asia. The combine with Joyce Group made Lane Crawford's future even brighter. I have been to almost all Lane Crawford stores in Hong Kong and Chinese mainland area and I specially adore the one at Beijing. It has the most inclusive brand names for both men and women. Their collection of Balenciaga, Lanvin, and MMMargiela have always been my favorites.

The laser cut style boots is so futuristic and chic! Blogger In My Paradigm was drooling over this boots and he's been trying to find the one made of black leather, instead of suede, which is the version sold in the States. I've seen and touched this leather boots at Lane Crawford and it s amazingly constructed. But you have to very skinny tapered pants to go with this boots.

The brushed leather gray briefcase is exquisite. I always thought the famous arena style of Balenciaga is not masculine enough for men and finally, the ones for boys came out. Either the briefcase or the duffel will look great on men.

The red duffel bag shown below is retail for $2495
I prefer the gray color with the duffel style and I wonder if they have it :)

Wrapped Arround Maniac

Dior Homme Open-Knit Tube Scarf $145





Dior Homme Cotton Tube Scarf F/W08




The cotton tube scarf goes with almost every outfit. The only complain I have for these two Dior scarves is that the material is not that satisfying. It does look good but does not feel good. Below are the wrap-around scarves that stand out this season. I especially adore the mink fur snood with cashmere camel check lining. But I am not sure that if it will look good on a guy.
Burberry Fur Snood $1295

Burberry Check Snood





Drooling List Over Dior Homme A/W09

1. Quilted Sport Jacket with Hood

2. Zip Funnel Neck Poplin Shirt



3. Zipped Leather Iphone Case
No. VEYC2709

4. Leather Duffel Bag

The poplin shirt is no doubt one of the statement piece of this season. I've been struggling between black, gray, and white for this shirt. The small duffel bag is definitely a must-have. The adjustable cotton strap can make this bag into a satchel, messenger, and even a somewhat hobo. The shut down of E-Luxury made it impossible to purchase or even review the collection of Dior Homme. I was surprised when i found out that the statement logo of this collection, a triangle, was an inspiration from the classic cassette player.
