Parisian – 100 years in the Making

On the edge of Myers Park in the heart of Auckland, Parisian craft beautiful neckties and leather belts in time-honoured fashion. Four generations of care and attention have culminated in their centenary collection – dubbed 1919 after the year the founder’s daughter Ruby put the finishing touches on the first tie a century ago. A celebration of opulent designs woven in a uniquely indulgent colour palette, boldly launches this limited edition collection.

Travel through time to discover Parisian’s tie-making history with the New Zealand Fashion Museum exhibition, ‘A Decorative Bias’, opening 14 March at RJB Design, 20 Customs St East, Auckland.

A Brush for the Hair-Proud Man

Malleable and easy to design, hair is an investment for the later years in a man’s life. As a guy with a thick receding hairline and baldness running in my genes, I know how important it is to maintain fresh and healthy hair at all times. Introducing the KFM2 Gel Styler for thicker locks, one of the members of the ‘Kent for Men’ range. At a smaller size of 205mm in length, the brush is stylish, easy to store away and uses Andosite Quartz, a mineral that helps moisturize and condition hair with just a flick, brush, and style with 9 intricate rows of quills.

You can pick this up online at www.ManCave.co.nz for NZD$17. As well as sitting alongside the other brushes in the ‘Kent for Men’ range, you can also go for the KFM3 version if you have shorter hair.
