Issey Miyake launches new sporty fragrance in March 2012

Issey Miyake launches a new fragrance for men in March 2012 – L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport.

The notes mimic that of a good workout:

Top notes: It starts with the light fresh Citrus scent of Bergamot and grapefruit

Heart: Then gets serious with a Spicy and stronger notes of Nutmeg and leather

Base notes: Settles with a warm and calm Woody scent of Cedar and Vetiver

The bottle is tactile with its flat rubber like square shaped top perforated with large pinpricks.

And the colours, well as you can see from our blog we love the colourway of mid grey and turquoise blue. Plus it's a great sporty colour combination.

Will be available soon from www.debenhams.com and most department stores.

Kokorico by Jean Paul Gaultier launched in the UK this month

Jean Paul Gaultier has launched a new men's fragrance 'Kokorico' and it's just arrived on to the UK shores this month. It's not in the usual JPG classic torso shaped bottle, this time it is as a man's face in profile. But that toned torso is not far away because if you turn the bottle to the side and look carefully, you can just make out a torso's  silhouette.

Top notes: Fig leaf

Heart: Raw cocoa bean

Base notes: woody notes of patchouli, cedar and vetiver

And the name? Well it sounds as though it should be referring to the cocoa heart note, but it was inspired by the cry of a rooster and the french word 'cocorico' translates in to cock-a doodle-doo.

JPG changes the c to a K and changes the rooster cry to that of a man from the war cry of a warrior tor the cry of a young man filled with pleasure.

Available in www.debenhams.com and most department stores

But if you prefer the classic torso silhouette bottle shape, never fear there is a new Le Male summer fragrance out soon with a cool blue 'Tarzan' jungle look.

Kirk Originals are Beaming with Delight over their new Eyewear Collection

To celebrate their 20^th anniversary this year, eyewear brand Kirk Originals have created BEAM, a brand new collection made entirely of acrylic. Acrylic is not a new material for Kirk Originals as they have been making acrylic temples for their past collections since the late 1990s, but this is the first collection with acrylic fronts.

Blaze in Amethyst

The frames are gloriously oversized with soft lines and curves, but with all Kirk frames it’s the fun colours that create the biggest impact. For the Beam collection, Kirk has used a new process of colour marriage which allows the bright translucent hues to merge and separate in tones of fluorescent orange, pink, yellow and aqua, and so making each frame unique with its own colour identity.

Ray in Amber

6 styles: Ray, Flare, Blaze, Gemma. Vega and Miranda

5 colours:  Amber, coral, aquamarine, amethyst and emerald

RRP: 325 Euros

Kirk Originals flagship store: 6 Conduit Street, London, W1S 1XE

Tel: 020 7499 0060

Calvin Klein Mens Autumn/Winter 2012/13 at Milan Fashion Week

The first models on the catwalk wore head to toe black creating clean silhouettes with the occasional shiny mock croc leather embellishing the sleeves and yokes of neat sweatshirts and hoodies.

 

It was then the turn of head to toe camel ranging from shearling leather aviator style hooded sweatshirts and bomber jackets to leather ponchos and puffer jackets and gilets. 

Shades of grey brought texture with short sleeved bobbly knitwear over long sleeved tops and rough speckled tweed fabric for skinny suits and matching oversized boxy coats

Overcoats ranged from the oversized -duffels (minus the toggles), ponchos, double breasted coats.....

 ..... to the slim -neat puffers and single breasted crombies

Head to toe black ended the show but this time with the mock croc really shining in leather pants and blazers. 

 Italo Zucchellie takes a bow.
