Mackage Opens Second Pop-Up Boutique in NYC

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping, Men's Style

Mackage is so pleased with sales in its first NYC pop-up boutique, in the Meatpacking District, that it has opened a second, this time in SoHo. Open through December, the store will carry the Canadian company's Fall/Winter '09 collection for men and women including butter-soft leather bombers, shearling styles, and its ever-popular Puffy down-filled winter coats. The line is popular with such celebrities as Hilary Duff, Jessica Biel, Elizabeth Hurley, Eva Mendes, Kristen Bell, Will.I.Am. and John Legend, to name a few. And a non-celebrity -- me. The coats are beautiful, practical, and better-priced than I expected for such style and quality. The SoHo store's details can be found in the photo above.

Men's Exotic Skin Items, From Luxury Accessories Intl.

Filed under: Men's Style

New York City-based Luxury Accessories International (LAI) began as a leather importer in New York in 1953, importing crocodile skins from South America and selling them to makers of shoes, handbags, and other leather goods. In 1971 the company expanded the range of skins to include python from Indonesia, ostrich from South Africa, and lizard from South America. Today, the company makes a variety of high-end products for men and women, but I'm going to focus on the men. Where to begin? Belts, bags, a flask, a watch box, portfolios, wallets ... all custom dyed all over the world and made with skins selected by hand for cutting at the LAI manufacturing house in Long Island City, N.Y. Orders are individually cut and sewn, and often customized, but the LAI boutique at 35 E. 65th St., NYC, offers custom pieces.

You know something's expensive when every piece on the Web site is followed by: "To purchase, please contact the LAI Boutique: 212-794-3874." So I can't help you with pricing, but if you see something you like, give LAI a ring. See the gallery for a few of the beautiful pieces.

If you've ever felt the urge to drop over a grand on a hoodie, look no further than Great China Wall. Simply the most luxurious casual gear that money can buy, Great China Wall designs feature crystal detailing and limited edition tattoo type airbrushing reminiscent of Ed Hardy graphics. Made of that trendy delicate soft cotton, you definitly won't want to put them in the washer/dryer...this brand is far too high maintenance for me and truthfully I'd be a little wary of any man sporting it! Hoodies range from $900-$1400, check out the collection online and decide for yourself if it's worth the loot or just another brand that's trying way too hard.

Now, who doesn't love Tom Ford. His Midas touch has permeated so many levels of the luxury industry, his absence has been hard to bear. Well, he's back. As previously reported, Tom is working with Estee Lauder on a cosmetics line. He also has a nifty line of sunglasses out as well. Available at Neiman Marcus and other fine retailers, the oh-so stylish line features sunglasses named for famous Americans; Kennedy, Fonda, Farrah. With a twinge of retro/70's glam, these glasses bring high style back to accessories. What celebrity won't be caught by the pool sporting these bad boys?

On to other Tom Ford news. In a recent article with GQ, Tom stated that he is pursuing a bespoke men's line and hopes to have a store open in New York by November 2006. Apparently, there is going to be ready-to-wear as well as custom tailoring. Tom wishes his line to be a "blend between an Italian fashion company and a classic tailor." Here's hoping that Midas continues his golden reign over global fashion.
