Christian Louboutin comes to the city and a watch to hound down: the latest men's style news
Drum roll, please…
Belstaff’s new creative director has arrived. Sean Lehnhardt-Moore’s first capsule collection is aptly entitled “Introducing”, a concept that translates into a series of pieces that take a cue from the historical brand’s rich archive; love-worn biker jackets, rugged, heavy-duty shearling outerwear and chunky knits.

Top of the pop-ups
Gentlemen in the city have no excuse for not sharpening up their Christmas party footwear this season (or misjudging festive gifting for the women in their life either) as Christian Louboutin is launching a city-centre pop-up shop in London later this month.
The interior of the Royal Exchange store is inspired by traditional London tailoring emporiums, with wood panelling and velvet, but the shoes are as modern (and in some cases out there) as you’d expect from Christian.

Hounds of love
It might exude a sense of classicism and tradition, but menswear brand Hackett has only been existence since 1983. Which was the starting point for Jeremy Hackett and Swatch Group’s collaboration, to mark their joint 35th birthday.
The Sistem51 - in earthy tones that hint of the British countryside - has all the familiar watch hallmarks, but with one playful twist; Mr H’s spaniel Muffin is silhouetted in cameo form on the dial.
