I WISH THEY MADE THIS FOR GIRLS Vol. 6 | Penelope

“The amount of times I’ve actually heard a girl say “I WISH THEY MADE THIS FOR GIRLS” when looking at boys’ clothes goes beyond memory. From that quote, I’ve begun a little Photo Series project with some of the most gorgeous women in my life. Done right, the series should have that inexplicable umph most guys feel when waking up and seeing a girl in his t-shirt and boxers. Dressed in my clothes, they will, one by one be featured on the blog.”

VISVIM for Number (N)ine

Added a much needed mogul to the GRAIL department of the Visvim section in my closet. Released back in 08, the packable GORE-TEX® Jacket designed for Number(Nine) is considered by most as an important piece in any collector’s archive. While Takahiro Miyashita’s coveted cult label is discontinued, his N(N) legacy lives through his collaborative projects and his new endeavor called The Soloist… I’m just happy to be one of the few people who got my hands on this one!

Visvim Subsection | Blaise Mautin Room Spray

Maura was off to Paris last week so I handed her some money and asked her to surprise me with a souvenir. And I couldn’t have asked for a better return item. Blaise Mautin is a french parfumeur who’s reknowned scents have glazed the aura of the Park Hyatt Vendome in Paris. The spray is a perfect marriage of Paris’ romantic allure and Hiroki‘s immaculate branding, but that’s aside from the luxurious woodland spice emanating from the essential oils which contain this Erlenmeyer flask.
