Style News July 2017
We are well and truly settled into the shorter days of winter, meaning the wet, cold and windy weather predominates. Layer up and be warm and cosy, or escape altogether, with some well-deserved travel to sunny shores or skylines of countries enjoying their warm tropical summer.
DEADLY PONIES
Travel in style with new additions and re-introductions from the new Deadly Ponies Man 2017 Collection. The collection boasts classic men’s pieces with an edit of travel accessories. Every man must have a good duffle, and the Phantom Duffle has been re-introduced to the collection as a larger weekender with clever zip additions that not only go all the way down to the base of the bag, but also give you more practicality and double as a design statement too. The collection, led by creative director, Liam Bowden, is inspired by the ocean and sees deep blue hues as a theme across the pieces, painting the picture of a ‘moody seascape’.
Deadly Ponies, Phantom Duffle, $955.
JIMMY CHOO
The robust masculinity that lies in the men’s fragrance franchise of Jimmy Choo is juxtaposed with a refreshing twist in its latest iteration. Aptly dubbed as Ice, a chilled citrus concoction of mandarin, bergamot and cedrat opens up a playful factor in its game of seduction. Vetiver, patchouli and cedarwood ignites an enticing flavour in its heart with an unexpected fruity flourish of crisp apple to raise a curious brow. Further intensified by a passionate base of musk, moss and ambroxan, Ice places itself in the forefront of a tantalizing fragrance trend.
Jimmy Choo Man Ice 100ml EDT, $125.
