You're referring to the man or the brand? The both of them are separate entities now since he's focusing on his own couture line. But I wonder about that as well since all I've seen from him are ladies' shoes. As for the Jimmy Choo brand, they do have men's shoes (as far as I know, they even collaborated with H&M).

Anyway, I wonder who's going to take over his business since his son Danny Choo (who isn't interested in inheriting his dad's trade) is in Japan working for Amazon JP, busy appearing on television and blogging about anime culture. Although, Danny is somewhat my idol.

I think he still hold shares in the company but his niece but take over his position in the company as assistant head designer?

One thing's for sure, he's too busy churning out a few pairs bespoke shoes daily for his Jimmy Choo Haute Couture line at Connaught Street.

thats a new term. Do sartorialist judge fashion? my limited googling skills didn't seem to pt to that.

aren't berluti, john lobb etc luxury brands??? a quick google they are not any cheaper than lux brands such as Paul smith, Hugo Boss etc.
they cost more than a custom made shoes by a unknown shoe maker in Italy!
these lux brand go again the "holy bible" the Satan of shoe fashion?  tongue.gif

seem like this is their only approved list. wear something and still need to seek approval to feel good. wow..really need help man.  sweat.gif

My friend and I went to Ferrigno-gummo at KLCC on Sunday. My friend was obsessed with a nice tan shoe they had.

Saleslady was sour faced and had a look that said, "Get outta here you dirtbags". Evidently the thought didn't just cross my mind as my friend walked straight out.

Both of us were dressed reasonably well for a casual Saturday out.

My friend ended up buying C&J Chelsea boots. Very satisfied with them.

I sent a complaint to Ferrigno-gumm via their website. No response yet.

wow thats rude should have asked her "excuse me whats with that look?"

sometimes those sales people forget that they are just working for 10rm per hour or something

Yeah same thing happened with me at Airmoney's clothes outlet at KLCC. There was this sales dude who sort of talked down to me with a cynical smile, saying "Our suits are RM10,000". Then he went and spoiled the image TOTALLY by saying, "But we have a 50% discount"!!! I left questioning just how much their suits actually cost.

As for shoemakers yes I fully agree! Fashion brands, be it watches, shoes or ties - we've got to be very careful. I'd never buy a fashion brand watch.

Recently a colleague started wearing Hugo Boss shoes. He doesn't care or know much about the construction, quality, etc. I asked him why and he replied, "The Chairman likes the brand and knows I'm using Hugo Boss suits and shoes. That's all that matters".
*
its armani ?

i think 50% discount are for last for 2 last seasons stuffs (F/W 2009)

previous season stuffs are discount at 30%-40% i think(S/S 2010)

no discount on F/W 2010 stuffs yet

You trust her to iron a 10k suit? I think your suit is meant to be wrinkled, like linen.


Added on August 21, 2010, 1:44 pmOnly a very good tailor should iron suits. It's a highly skilled task.

yea i did told her to very careful i only asked her to iron the sleeves tho tongue.gif

yea after ironing it it seems that it still wrinkled oh well i guess you are right my gf said it could be meant to be wrinkled too blush.gif

QUOTE(beau @ Aug 21 2010, 03:12 PM)
Good thing your dreams have come true

Shoes:- I prefer the horse bit (snaffle) without the colored canvas , preferably in a driver's shoe configuration. Colored canvas speaks of too much bling as with bamboo snaffle

thanks

yea i am kinda sucker to bling blush.gif

Gents, do kindly utilise the Spoiler tag when posting fairly huge pictures (i.e - those exceeding 1000px in both horizontal and vertical resolution)

Fantastic shirt. Very gigolo-like. I need to go find silk like that and have one made. You need to unbutton one more button. Are the buttons mother-of-pearl?

user posted image

I am 99% sure this is a fused number. Clean front + wrinkled sleeves = fused.

The shoulders fit you, the jacket is the right length, the treatment of the quarters are rarely seen, the one button silhouette is successful. You need to shorten those trousers significantly, like 1.5". Wear your shirt with two buttons unbuttoned, grow some chest hair (hormone therapy), put in an Hermes pocket square (gold or red colour) and the look will be fine.

A tip: Wear the jacket with white pants.

Also, pose with your GF, I need to see if she accessorizes well with the suit.

yea the button are mother of pearl i believe ..

thanks for the advice on the colour of pocket square .. i plan to buy that next time but unsure what colour to buy laugh.gif

awesome thanks then ill try wearing with white pants .. lol if i pose with my gf no one to take picture of us tongue.gif

most of u talking bad about LV shoes has obviously never hold , tried and inspect one closely before laugh.gif

you guys arent talking from experience rather baseless assumption that designer product from brand such as lv must be selling overpriced low quality crap

With all due respect, for me, it's personal opinion, LV stuff just do not agree with me aesthetically. Even when I do buy branded stuff, i do not like a HUGE label of their brand anywhere on the product, I do not believe in providing free advertising for them tongue.gif
*
yea i do admit when i first started buying designer stuffs i used to go for the one with obvious logo , thats why nowadays i dont buy those brand pimp stuffs anymore tongue.gif

but nowadays not anymore i felt silly and quite embarrass to wear them already

so now i always find the one with good quality,good design,subtle logos, and bargain price tongue.gif , and u have to be careful some of the stuffs might not be in good shape because they are no longer new... because these shops they allow u to return back the good if you are unsatisfied..
