Crombie Spring/Summer 13 Collection

We love a bit of understated luxury and that's precisely why we're giving a big thumbs up to the new Spring/Summer line from Crombie. The brand has a history spanning over two centuries so it's safe to say that they at least know a thing or two about the luxury menswear market. As well as a full collection of ready-to-wear apparel, Crombie also offer a made-to-measure service.

After checking out the brand's latest lookbook [images above and left] we pulled out some specific items that took our fancy - a great outfit for the seasonal change featuring the essential waterproof and a bit of cashmere knitwear. There's some great preppy pieces in the collection as well as some perfectly dapper suits from £695.

Harrods Menswear Spring/Summer 13: Just In

By A La Male on 07:56

We took a quick look at the new Spring/Summer arrivals in the Harrods Menswear department - this brief peruse naturally turned into a lengthy wishlist. However there were some clear favourites to be found - a little on the casual side in this instance - but there are some great versatile pieces in the mix.

The selection below is the perfect smart/casual date option, because we must remember that our other halves are probably still in Valentine's mode - hence the sneaky bottle of Moét Rosé Imperial. As well as the top picks below there are also new arrivals from the likes of Moncler, Balmain, Hackett and Corneliani [scarf pictured left: £129]. Marni is also one of the latest brands to join the department store so be sure to check out that collection too.

Christian Louboutin Launches 'Tattoos to Measure'

By A La Male on 07:08

Flamboyant footwear brand Christian Louboutin have just launched their new endeavour: 'Tattoos to Measure'. This bespoke service allows clients to customize their own shoes with their own designs or 'tattoos'. Customers can select from a range of pre-designed patterns that are fully customizable with different colours, beads and even the odd Swarovski crystal if your pocket could stretch to it.

There is a lot of Asian influence in the designs that were seen at the launch such as dragons [left] and Koi carps [below]. The whole process from consultation, design and manufacturing takes approximately 3 months and with a 4 figure price-tag it's not for everyone but hey this is luxury and it's an undeniably impressive project. Plus you gotta love a fish on a shoe.
