Natalia Brilli Shark Tooth Accessories

For those of you who (like us) never got around that Jaws movie, now’s the chance for a little payback. Natalia Brilli brings these real shark teeth as part of the new accessories for SS11. Featured as leather necklaces and bracelets, raw or leather covered they are available in three colors beige, grey or black. You can always say you’ve taken them off the shark’s mouth, barehanded, while fighting for your life…
Now available at our shop, as part of the new arrivals for the upcoming season, you can also get them here.

Mensweek Diaries… Adam Kimmel Showroom, Paris

Last but not least, still on Tuesday, we headed up to Adam Kimmel’s Showroom to look into the clothes we had seen at the presentation almost a week before. Making our selection from the Adam Kimmel collections is always though, in the sense that the clothes look so good and feel so great that we want to bring everything with us right away. In the end, we somehow manage but not without the precious help of our man Rafael who is always there backing us up. This showroom visit was also great because we met Willy, a portuguese model living in Paris who dressed up a style just for us.

A cattle skull hanging from the wall and setting the mood for the collection. Kimmel’s fantastic AW11 styles waiting to be picked.

Mensweek Diaries… Adam Kimmel X Carhartt Showroom, Paris

Tuesday, we dropped by the Adam Kimmel X Carhartt Showroom to check the two brands collab. A nice photographers studio with lots of natural light coming from the large windows that faced the interior patio. The collection is looking good, with Kimmel’s special developed fabrics and superb silhouette fusing with Carhartt’s more relaxed street DNA.

The house model trying one of the styles we picked and a wider view of the studio with Adam Kimmel’s signature wood and metal furniture.

Mensweek Diaries… Acne Showroom, Paris

Showrooms are not only about picking clothes, there’s also some nice things getting in the way of our eyes. At Acne it’s like that, besides getting our hands on the great clothes from last night’s show, we are greeted with champagne, there’s always fresh flowers, nice water and fruit cocktails and we also get to have some amazing girls doing the catwalk while we’re there.

Champagne anyone?!? One of the gorgeous models who always insisted in getting in our way ;) ….

Fresh AW11 clothes on the racks. Some nice flowers and a view of one of the main accessories from the night before, the cap.

Mensweek Diaries… Cornelian Taurus Showroom, Paris

Also during Sunday we paid a visit to Daisuke Iwanaga and his brother Shinsuke, designer and head of sales for Cornelian Taurus, at their showroom to check out what’s new and make our order for AW11. Every season, they occupy this beautiful art space to show case the new designs and we feel that the space really relates with the brand’s spirit. Keep an eye for some pretty cool bags coming your way this fall…

The space from the outside. On the inside, with the bags hanging from the walls and laying on the floor surrounding the metal furniture.

Our friends Daisuke and Shinsuke looking happy! Daisuke as a backdrop for one of his new bags featured at the window.

Mensweek Diaries… Trade Shows and Showrooms, Paris

Sunday, a day to visit several trade shows like Rendez-Vous and some multi brand showrooms. The most part of these are located at Le Marais district which is quite good considering we have to move from one place to the other constantly. As we’ve said before, we don’t always go there to buy but, to be on the watch for something new coming up and do our brands and trends research.

Rendez-Vous, which featured some cool vintage bikes at the entrance and a view of the ground floor inside.

At showroom Nº10 Vago, with our man Phillipe and the extraordinary Jana. We went there to check the latest collection by Denim Gallery Biarritz. The showroom is housed in an incredibly beautiful apartment with nice parisian details, high ceilings, fireplaces and an amazing broken down wooden floor. So nice we feel like moving there…

Mensweek Diaries… Tranoi, Paris

The Tranoi is one of the main trade shows we go to in Paris and that this season was divided in two locations. It’s one of the most important shows, mixing more established designers and brands with new upcoming ones. We always go there and visit all the rooms trying to source out new brands. We spent most of our Saturday there and although it can be quite physically demanding, it’s always good to go there and watch what’s going on with new brands and visit our friends from the brands we work with. Also, there’s always new interesting concepts coming on, like the one from our austrian friend Klaus Plank with a collection entirely sourced and dedicated to the working men of the Tyrol mountains. There was still time for more, as you can check out below…

The show entrance with a tent displaying videos, music and other stuff. Our friend Klaus Plank with his inspiring clothing line.

Riccardo Goti, also a great friend of ours who was celebrating his birthday. Tanti Auguri! After the show, we all had dinner together to celebrate. Some of his silver and leather pieces and also his perfume line up close.

A beautiful painted ceiling covered the room where our friend and skilled italian cook Barbara Cavalli (not related ;) ) was taking orders for the Giorgio Brato brand. Next, our shy friend Alex of Mad et Len surrounded by his particular universe of wonderful scents and smells.

Tracy and Trevor, the joyful people at Linda Farrow showing off their favorite styles. Gotcha!!

Meensweek Diaries… Our Legacy, Paris

On friday afternoon we went down to the gallery of the Ofr bookshop in Le Marais where Our Legacy was showing their AW11 Collection.
It was nice to sit down for a while and chat a little more with Richardos and Jockum while we did our winter season picks. As always, the clothes are looking good and these guys sure know what they’re doing and where they are going with the brand.

Jockum talking to us about the collection in the backdrop and Richardos keeping the clothes in order.

A view of the gallery entrance. Some of the collection’s accessories along with a nice flower bouquet to set the right mood.
