Comment – Good Buy Creed?

Written on June 27, 2023.

News in that Kering, the luxury giant that owns Gucci, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta, has bought the fragrance company favoured by Essex boys, Creed. Reports say that the first major acquisition for ‘Kering Beauté’ has cost the group $2 billion for the niche fragrance house. Kering could be a company on the luxury fragrance rebound after narrowly losing out on the Tom Ford label to Estée Lauder for $2.8 billion last year. When you compare the two brands and prices it feels hard to believe that $2 billion is the correct price for Creed. Tom Ford has a much bigger store network, categories and potential for growth. Creed’s annual revenues of over €250 million ($273 million) for the year ending March 2023 compares meekly with Tom Ford’s revenues estimated to be in the region of $800...

Written on June 16, 2023.

One of the best holiday collabs. of 2023, Zara has teamed up with Aussie sun-protection brand Standard Procedure on a collection of holiday staples. The retro styling and sunshine colours make this a fun, affordable and stylish addition to any wardrobe. Due to my gingerness, I’m a sucker for a bucket hat, even better when it has the addition of the neck protector and this looks like a vintage find from a Sydney thrift store. Standard Procedure is from daughter of long time sunscreen manufacturers, Zepha Jackson and professional surfer, Dion Agius, who came together to bring Australian surf nostalgia back to life in a brand new way. Bonza! Above & Below – Zara – Bucket Hat With Standard Procedure Embroidery – £22.99

Tried & Tested Anokha Man Skincare

Written on June 14, 2023.

Anokha Skincare says men and women are different. Men’s skin tends to have more sebum as a result of testosterone production. They also shave (sometimes), which creates more sources of irritation and sensitivity. While unisex brands are a ‘thing’ right now, they don’t do justice to the differences in men’s skin types. Anokha Man has launched with three products: Rice & Hinoki Facial Cleanser, White Tea & Lychee Toner and Sake & Sandalwood Facial Lotion, to be used day and night. Anokha Skincare was established in 2008 by New York-based, board-certified plastic surgeon Nina S. Naidu, MD FACS. Naidu witnessed an increasing number of significant reactions to standard topical preparations including Bacitracin and Neosporin (over the counter antibacterial...

Menswear Product Of The Week The Loewe Flow Trainer

Written on May 15, 2023.

I’ve been looking for new trainers recently. While there’s a lot out there, many are very bulky, heavy and ugly. Don’t even get me started on the rubber boot trend. These from Loewe – it’s always Loewe atm – were the nicest I saw. Made in Italy and decent quality, they are a classic design with the added General Electric swirl of the Loewe logo. While they have that 70s thing going on, the colouration and suede reminds me of the 90s. It’s very my early-days-at-Wallpaper*-magazine eating whatever the cook had made that day and wearing Camper Pelotas. Good times.
