Hot off the heels of fashion events in Paris, Milan and London, the heavy hitters of men’s fashion have descended upon New York to bask in the newest collections from the year’s hottest designers. In addition to an eclectic variety of pieces, there were a number of unexpected events that only added to the grandiosity of NYFW. From surprise appearances, to envelope-pushing shows that evoked emotion, there has yet to be a dull moment in the Big Apple, as far as men’s fashion is concerned.

This is another one I get asked a lot – “why spend cash on (expensive) elevators when I can buy cheap lifts and stick them in my footwear?” In fact it’s what I myself thought for many years, until I actually discovered elevators that looked like proper shoes and boots, stuff I would ACTUALLY wear.

After a week filled with impeccable style, Paris Fashion Week has ended, with a number of designers having showed their Autumn/Winter 2017-2018 collections to the masses.

The shoes boasted shiny brown and double buckle for optimal sophistication.
The long-awaited Milan Fashion Week reached its end yesterday, along with the debut of a variety of men’s fashion trends for the Autumn-Winter 2017/2018 season.

Here is something I am asked all the time – “I really want to buy some elevators and add height but I am worried that my mates will easily be able to tell”. My answer is a definite and big – “NO, they will NOT be able to tell if you do it right and follow my rules”, but I think that the psychology behind it all needs explaining. And the rules.
The 91st edition of menswear fashion show Pitti Immagine Uomo kicked off on Tuesday. This year’s theme, #PittiDanceOff, explores the worlds of music and dance, and the way these two work in unison with fashion.
A number of new collections debuted at London Fashion Week, paving the way for fashionable months ahead. One notable newcomer included Tinie Tempah’s What We Wear, while Vivienne Westwood made the transition from Milan to London at last. Her long-awaited return was not the least bit disappointing to true connoisseurs of men’s fashion.
Versatility is an important aspect of any stylish wardrobe. It’s important to be prepared for whatever event lies ahead, and this is easily achievable with footwear from GuidoMaggi’s collection of luxury height increasing shoes. Our new showroom contains a pair to suit every man’s unique sense of style. From exquisite dress shoes, to casual sneakers capable of putting an edgy spin on any look, there are dozens of incredible styles to choose from. The Bahrain shoe, just one of many stellar new models in the Winter 2017 collection, is as comfortable as it is versatile. Ultra luxurious but timeless at once, this sleek style can be worn casually or alongside a pair of slacks and a dress shirt for a modern take on sophisticated.
