Kris Van Assche Sneakers
My search for a pair of white high tops continues...
Look what I found! Check out this two pairs of sneakers:-) I find the non uniform shoe lace position and the asymmetric detailing on the shoe very interesting and unique. The contrast leather/suede patches ( I think it is suede on the high tops and silver leather on the low cut sneaker) on the cap toe and sides adds a nice touch to the overall design. There is even a 'drawstring' feature on the back of the sneakers.
It looks 'messy' but yet it is 'organised'. Kris Van Assche has assumed the role of Dior Homme's creative director, but I feel he has yet to achieve the same aesthetic appeal as what Slimane had done. Furthurmore, I was not a fan of Kris Van Assche's own collection either. His looks were too sartorial but yet casual...and neither here nor there. But somehow, when you pull apart the pieces from his collection, they actually worked! It looks great when you matched his items with other designer pieces. His designs has a certain interest and surprise that adds a flair to your dressing.
The website I found these sneakers is based in Germany, Berlin and only has German language. So I am not sure if they accept online orders. Hopefully, Club 21 Mens will carry these sneakers in their store.
Update:
Get these sneakers at Club 21 Men's store now! They have the high cut version in Platinum (SGD $799) and the low cut version (Suede and silver leather at SGD $669) exactly as featured in the pic above.
Retail price: Euro $319 (High tops), Euro $275 (Low cut). Where to buy: www.mientus.com

Tod's Leather/Nylon Bags
I am beginning to fall in love with Tod's range of nylon bags. Nylon bags are great for travelling since they are light weight and durable. And I like travel bags with lots of exterior pockets and zippers so I do not have to dig into the bag to look for documents and especially my wallet and mobile phone.
Prada has been doing nylon bags for a long time, but there are so many knock offs all over the world that you feel like you are carrying a fake bag even though you paid big bucks for it. So Tod's is the perfect choice for an exclusive nylon bag that fits all your travel needs.
The Besace Messenger bag (costs US$875) is simple and functional in design. The computer bag and roomy duffle bag has the option of carrying by the leather handle or shoulder strap. These bags have timeless design and user friendly exterior front zipper pockets. The bags will stand the rigours of travelling for a long time. Personally, I prefer an all black version rather than the brown one.
Will check out the Tod's stores here this weekend.:-P

D&G White Leather and Silver Mesh High Tops
I have been scouting around for white high top sneakers. Gucci has a couple of designs I like. But I don't want to commit to that yet as I want to see what other options are available. I came across this pair of white high tops at www.neimanmarcus.com. Just perfect for me and I love the zipper sides (easy to wear the shoe) and the silver mesh toe cap (kinda similar to Lanvin's). Most importantly, the D&G logos are subtle. I don't like to be a walking advertisement.
Retail price: USD $375. Where to buy: www.neimanmarcus.com
