Letters from Germany: Berlin, a cultural center and a paradise for shopaholics…

My dear travelers and fashionistas, welcome to a new story on the Mr.M blog! Since I received a lot of your messages after the published luxury shopping guide Istanbul edition, I decided to delight you with another similar content from the city that I consider my second home because I spent my best years in the capital of Germany – Berlin.

Berlin is otherwise known as the European capital of the biggest and most important cultural events and that it is also known as the capital of urban street fashion and in addition proudly carries the epithet of the European capital that absolutely never sleeps due to its boisterous and rich nightlife. You know I’m always honest, when it comes to nightlife I’m not the best guide, but when it comes to sights and good shopping, I’m the best advisor there, so I decided to share some details about Berlin with you.

For all those who are not familiar with the urban distribution of the city of Berlin, this metropolis has “two centers” – the eastern and western parts of the city. To help you find your way around, just keep in mind that most of the sights are in the East part of the city near the Brandenburg Gate and it’s kind of the cultural core of the city, while the West part of the city is kind of lively and trendy, where you’ll find good places to shopping and restaurants. These two parts of the city have been successfully connected by city bus line number 100 for years, and it is the best “limousine” from which you can get to know the city.

Berlin is an extremely easy city to navigate, Germans are extremely friendly and want to help tourists, just don’t use the German language if you don’t know it very well, because they take it as a big insult, better speak in English, they will meet you sooner, even though maybe the older people don’t speak english but they will try their best to help you. They value their language a lot and don’t like it when part of their national identity is desecrated. As for public transport, it is well organized and connected, so you can easily get from point A to point B wherever you want in the German capital.

Berlin is a world metropolis and a famous city of entertainment, so you will always be welcomed with open arms with a lot of new content and I believe that everyone will find adequate content for themselves and that Berlin leaves no one indifferent.

EAST BERLIN

East Berlin is known for its large number of museums and famous landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin TV Tower, which is located about halfway between Alexander Platz and the Mitte part of the city (the city center).

What can you see in this part of the city?

  • Checkpoint Charlie – This is the best starting point for a tour of the former communist eastern part of Berlin. Until reunification in 1989, the only legal way to cross the border in and out of East Berlin was through official checkpoints. Checkpoint Charlie was the most important of all checkpoints as it served as the only point of entry and exit for diplomats, journalists and foreign visitors, i.e. non-Germans. Adjacent to this checkpoint is a house museum that contains artifacts used to escape over, under, and through the Berlin Wall, including escape cars, hot air balloons, and even mini-submarines.
  • Trabi Museum – The Trabant (affectionately called Trabi by Germans) may not have been the only car on the roads of East Germany during the Cold War, but it was the most famous car produced and owned by the people of East Germany. Owning a Trabi was more than just a means of transportation. Cars represented freedom of movement for people living in a totalitarian state. This car was quite compact, but escape attempts sometimes involved hiding in the trunk of the car. The Trabi is more than a car, it is a timeless symbol of East Germany’s struggle for freedom of every kind.
  • Reichtag – the Parliament building, which has a modern glass dome that offers a divine view of the city. Ask about visiting, I know it’s always very crowded, I’ve been once during my many years of living in Berlin. There are always big crowds, so be patient.
  • Berlin Wall – The memorial complex stretches for 1.3 km along with several sites on the area where the Berlin Wall once stood. Bernauer Street was chosen for the Memorial because it is the biggest symbol of the divided city.
  • Museum Island – Located on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the island is located on the Spree River and houses 5 museums: the Old Museum (Altes Museum), the New Museum (Neues Museum), the Old National Gallery, the Bode Museum and the Pergamon Museum . Each museum is unique and a visit to this complex is an individual preference, so depending on your interests you can spend 3 to 5 hours, while my sister stayed almost the whole day as she is an art lover.
  • Humboldt Forum – newly opened cultural and artistic complex.

Out of these 8 listed items, 7 out of 8 (all except the Museum Island) can be visited in one day, 4-5 hours is quite enough, while the museums within the Museum Island require more time, that’s why I will say that this part of the city is worth a visit you need to set aside a whole day or two if you want to enjoy the moment without feeling rushed.

As for shopping in East Berlin, there are several interesting streets, department stores and shops that I would single out:

  • Mall of Berlin, the most famous shopping center in Berlin. You can quickly and easily walk from the Brandenburg Gate to this shopping center and on the way visit the Memorial area dedicated to the genocide of the Jews. The museum is outdoors, so be careful when taking pictures.
  • Unter den Linden – a shopping street in the very heart of Berlin, from which you can always see the Brandenburg Gate or the Berlin TV Tower. Here you can see some of the world’s fashion brands, but also finish shopping for souvenirs.
  • Friedrichstraße is one of the cross streets, the main street of Unter den Linden, here you can find famous world brands such as Hugo Boss, Massimo Dutti, Karl Lagerfeld and others.
  • Galeries Lafayette, a famous French department store is located in Friedrichstrasse. In the vicinity of Alexander Platz you have a number of interesting shopping streets
  • TK Maxx, a shopaholic’s paradise, brands range from famous street fashion brands to luxury global fashion brands at extremely low prices. Trust me it’s worth visiting this store and this chain of stores is famous across Germany, Europe and the UK.

My favorite sights in East Berlin are Berlin Dom, Alexander Platz, Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island.

Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom), also known as the Evangelical Supreme Parish and Congregational Church, is a monumental German Evangelical church and dynastic tomb (House of Hohenzollern) on the Museum Island in central Berlin. Having its origins as a castle chapel for the Berlin Palace, several buildings have served to house the church since the 15th century.

The current cathedral church was built from 1894 to 1905 by order of Emperor William II according to the plans of Julius Rashdorf in the Renaissance and Baroque style. The mentioned building is the largest Protestant church in Germany and one of the most important dynastic tombs in Europe. In addition to church services, the cathedral is used for state ceremonies, concerts and other events.

The Museum Island is so-called for the complex of internationally important museums, all of which are part of the Berlin State Museums, occupying the northern part of the island:

The old museum was called the Konigliches Museum when it was built on August 3, 1830, until it was renamed in 1841. The museum was completed by order of Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The Neues Museum (New Museum) was completed in 1859 according to the plans of Friedrich August Stühler, Schinkel’s student. Destroyed in World War II, it was rebuilt under the direction of David Chipperfield for the Egyptian Museum in Berlin and reopened in 2009. The Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) was completed in 1876, also to designs by Friedrich August Stühler, to house a collection of 19th-century art donated by banker Joachim H. W. Wagener.

The Bode Museum on the northern part of the island, opened in 1904 and then called the Kaiser Friedrich Museum. It exhibits collections of sculptures and late antique and Byzantine art. The Pergamon Museum, built in 1930, contains several reconstructed huge and historically significant buildings such as the Pergamon Altar and the Babylonian Ishtar Gate. The Humboldt Forum opened at the end of 2020 in the Berlin Palace across from the Lustgarten Park and includes the Ethnological Museum of Berlin and the Museum of Asian Art; both are successor institutions to the Chamber of Ancient Prussian Art, which was also located in the Berlin Palace and was founded in the mid-16th century.

The museum complex was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999 because of its unique testimony to the evolution of the museum as a social and cultural phenomenon and the corresponding development of museum architecture.

Alexanderplatz is a large public square and traffic hub in the central Berlin district of Mitte. The square is named after the Russian Emperor Alexander I, which also signifies a larger neighborhood that stretches from Mollstrasse in the northeast to Spandauer Straße and Rotes Rathaus in the southwest.

Alexanderplatz is said to be the most visited area of Berlin, beating Friedrichstrasse and City West. It is a popular starting point for tourists, with many attractions including the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), the Nicholas Quarter and the Rotes Rathaus (“Red Town Hall”) located nearby. Alexanderplatz is still one of Berlin’s main commercial areas, home to a variety of shopping malls, department stores and other large retail locations.

WEST BERLIN

For many, Kreuzberg is the only former district of West Berlin where something is happening. But for those staying or wanting to visit the western part of the city, there is still much to offer…

  • Charlottenburg Palace – Built in 1699 by the Elector of Frederick III as a summer palace, Charlottenburg Palace is the largest royal palace in the city of Berlin (the royal family chose to build most of their palaces in the nearby city of Potsdam, Germany’s version of Versailles). Inside the palace today is a vast collection of 18th-century French paintings (the largest outside France), the baroque Old Palace and the New Wing, added by the versatile Frederick the Great in the mid-1700s.
  • Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church – This church, located not far from the Zoologischer Garten S and the U bahn station, was built between 1891 and 1895 by Kaiser Wilhelm II. The Kaiser wanted to celebrate the glory and majesty of his grandfather, the first German Kaiser, Wilhelm I, and dedicated a church to him (Wilhelm II disliked his father, Friedrich III immensely, so there is no Kaiser Friedrich Memorial Church).
  • Berlin Zoo – The oldest zoo in Germany, Berlin Zoo opened its doors in 1844 and is the most visited zoo in Europe. With good reason – this is one fantastic place! Animals are kept in environments that most closely match their natural habitat, and because of this the zoo has a successful breeding program. The zoo was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War, and only 90 animals survived from the pre-war population of over 3,000. The zoo itself was the last stronghold of the German army at the end of the war.
  • Tiergarten – Berlin is a city of green spaces, and the Tiergarten is Berlin’s most popular park in the city center. Built as a hunting ground for the royal family in the 1600s, the 255-hectare park is these days home to monuments, restaurants and beer gardens, and a walk from the west end to the other side will take you past the Siegessaula (Victory Column) and bring you to the Brandenburg Gate.

At the beginning of this post, I mentioned that West Berlin is known as the best shopping destination, so I will take the opportunity to share with you some interesting addresses for shopping in this part of the city.

Kurfurstendamm (abbreviated: Ku’damm) is one of the most famous avenues in Berlin. The street was named after the former Kurfürsten (prince) of Brandenburg. The wide, long boulevard can be considered the Champs Elysees of Berlin and is lined with shops, houses, hotels and restaurants. In particular, many fashion brands have their stores here, as well as showrooms of several car manufacturers, famous restaurants and luxury hotels.

Unlike the neighboring streets, Kudamm developed from the historic corduroy road laid by the Margraves of Brandenburg to reach the Grünewald hunting lodge, which was built around 1542 by order of Hohenzollern’s elector Joachim II Hector. Although the exact date of construction is unknown, the unnamed embankment leading from the Stadtschloss through the marshland between the settlements of Charlottenburg (then called Lietzow) and Wilmersdorf to Grünewald was already shown on a 1685 map. The name Churfursten Damm was first mentioned between 1767 and 1787. Today, this is a prestigious center for luxury fashion brands and luxury goods.

Another shopping destination in West Berlin is Tauentzienstrasse (Tauentzien for short) is the main shopping street in the City West area of Berlin. With a length of about 500 m, it passes between two important squares, Wittenbergplatz in the east and Breitscheidplatz in the west, where it is continued by the boulevard Kurfirstendam. While the eastern half belongs to Schöneberg district, the western part (behind Nürnberger Straße) is in Charlottenburg. The two most famous department stores, KaDeWe and Peek & Cloppenburg, are located here.

Kaufhaus des Westens (German for ‘Department House of the West’), abbreviated as KaDeWe, is the most famous luxury department store in Berlin. With over 60,000 square meters of retail space and more than 380,000 items available, it is the second largest department store in Europe after Harrods in London. It attracts 40,000 to 50,000 visitors every day. The store is located on Tauentzienstraße, the main shopping street, between Wittenbergplatz and Breitscheidplatz, near the heart of former West Berlin. It is technically located in the extreme northwest of the southern Berlin neighborhood of Schöneberg.

Here you can also find the famous Zalando Outlet, a shopaholic’s paradise where you can find clothes, shoes and fashion accessories for adults and children. It is really possible to find absolutely everything here, at significantly reduced prices than in traditional stores, while the selection of brands is diverse and it is possible to find pieces of brands for everyone’s budget.

People say that the color red is color of love and happines and attracts positive energy, so I decided to take my FPM Milano Bank Spinner 53 black cabin suitcase with red leather details on my trip to Berlin which brought me good luck this year. Not only is it practical, lightweight, but it’s also a photogenic suitcase that many people asked me about at the airport where I bought it.

FPM Milano luggage offers travelers practicality and style, all in one trolley and backpack. Designed by Mark Sadler, these lightweight aluminum-clad and reinforced suitcases are inspired by vintage trunks, purpose-built to give you the durability you need on your travels. The combination of Avante-Garde materials and Italian design motifs give these FPM suitcases a robust and secure look.

In today’s post I present to you my new Bank Spinner 53 cabin suitcase from the Bank collection, a collection that is entirely made in Italy, ideal for people from the business world as well as for those who want to enjoy their vacation and free time to the maximum, made to satisfy any practical, functional or aesthetic need. A practical inner pocket allows you to charge your tablet and smartphone anytime, anywhere. A modern, elegant line of backpacks, made of high-quality and waterproof nylon with special attention to leather and metal details.

Aluminum personalization recalls the innovative creativity of the FPM Bank collection. I enriched this suitcase with red details – leather handles in coral red, as well as an address tag of the same color. You can choose your favorite color and I believe you will have more favorites like me.

If you want to stay up to date and find out which models of suitcases and travel accessories the FPM Milano brand has in its offer, visit their official online store and follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Fashion Diary: What to wear on the Streets of Berlin this Winter?

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to the new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. In today’s blog post, I will show you some fashion pieces that you can see this Autumn – Winter season on the streets of the capital of Germany – Berlin.

Berlin itself is an unusual fashion metropolis known for street style, urban fashion with some unusual details that can overshadow tourists visiting this city in Europe that literally “lives 24 hours”.

You had the opportunity to see this mink fur jacket in a more elegant edition with classic trousers – link of my previous post.

When you decide to buy luxurious, timeless, authentic fur, SKANDINAVIK FUR is a small family company that exclusively leads with its expertise, experience, sophisticated skill and love for the craft that has been passed down from generation to generation. The family-owned company makes a wide range of timeless and luxurious fur products, including clothing, scarves, covers and blankets.

Due to its unique holistic approach and with great respect for natural resources, the Skandinavik Fur company rationally consumes fur. With good imagination, vision and skill of the master, they turn all the remnants of fur into beautiful fashion items whenever possible.

Fur as a material in itself is not exclusively intended for women, but it can also be an unusual accessory for men that will refresh the wardrobe of every modern man.

You’ve probably ever wondered what are the reasons for famous men, famous rappers who love chinchilla fur and long fox fur coats. The answer is simple, such furs exude magnificent energy that reflects luxury and style. Mink is the right choice to achieve a more elegant look, and a fur-lined parka or shearling jackets are slightly more conservative options.

When investing in a timeless piece such as a fur jacket or coat, you want to be sure to buy directly from an experienced fur manufacturer who can provide you with the best post customer service after the purchase, transferring knowledge about how to maintain fur products, and at the same time offer high quality products.

The jacket from today’s post, a short jacket with a hood, is made of mink, which is specially painted in three colors. This model is at the same time elegant and urban and has a certain sporty elegance, so it can be worn by people who are oriented to a slightly different sports fashion sense that does not require exclusively elegant notes.

My fur jacket is made of SAGA mink. Sharp lines, comfort and practicality are some of the basic characteristics of this luxury piece. It can be worn with a white shirt, black pants, an interesting leather belt, or you can combine a nice brown-camel sweater with jeans, as I showed in today’s post. The hood is made of mink on both sides and on the top, because it is suitable for a luxury item like this jacket.

I did my best to complete this outfit with the famous Jacob Cohën jeans and an elegant Stenströms camel sweater, pieces that fit just perfectly into this outfit. Classic jeans and a cashmere sweater are always the best and absolutely best choice when it comes to autumn fashion for men.

The story of the Jacob Cohën brand begins with a man who believed in one dream! The fashion empire that opened its doors in 1985, guided by the intuition of Tato Bardelle, achieved thanks to the creative genius of his son Nicola Bardelle in the early 2000s, is divided and continued today by the creative direction of his wife Jennifer Tommasi-Bardelle.

The brand was originally conceived as a luxury denim collection handmade in Italy, where this material was first proposed as a status symbol in history, thus anticipating the concept of a casual everyday look that will soon become “mandatory” style.

Jacob Cohën is one of the brands that has always continuously invested in modernization of production and market research, in order to provide its customers with exclusive quality and exceptional comfort.

Today, Jacob Cohën has become a reference point for everyday luxury understood as a way of thinking, living and dressing. If you want to understand the essence of the brand, Jacob Cohën represents the cult of luxury denim, which means a simple way of life.

The jeans you have the opportunity to see in today’s post are from the latest Autumn – Winter 2021/22 collection. It is a model from the limited model series J688. As a person who has problems with wide hips and I rarely find good jeans that fit my silhouette , I had no problem choosing jeans because all Jacob Cohën jeans have a lot of elastin and perfect fit.

OUTFIT

Mink Fur Jacket: SKANDINAVIK Fur

Sweater: Stenströms

Jeans: Jacob Cohën

High-Top Sneakers: Roberto Cavalli

Since the today’s outfit was in a certain everyday relaxed casual tone with the jeans, I decided to wear my favorite Roberto Cavalli deep crocodile sneakers. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. Of course, the dark chocolate brown color went great with the colors that you can find in my wardrobe. Roberto Cavalli is a famous Italian brand that is at the very top of the fashion industry and has conquered the fashion scene.

After many years of success, he managed to take a high position in the world of fashion and is known for the production of famous bright prints and leather accessories made of exotic leathers.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of this special post where together we discovered the beauty of brown tones in autumn fashion outfits! See you soon and continue our fashion adventures on the Mr.M blog with the hope that I will take new and interesting photos when my bruises pass! How did you like my outfit today?

I really tried to prepare today’s post for you with a lot of love and I hope you will like it!

I advise you to listen to my advice due to the current health situation with the new variant of Corona virus – Lambda in almost all European and countries around the world. If you need to go out into the fresh air, take a walk and clear your mind and enjoy the charms of the autumn, feel free to do so, but do not go to places where there are a lot of people and thus encourage crowds.

If you have been vaccinated (both doses of the vaccine or even with third Booster dose) you need to wear a mask for your own safety. If you are abroad on vacation, I would ask you to respect local COVID-19 laws related to community health.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or a message for me, you can write to me below in the comments. Of course, as always, you can contact me via email or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT ME page. See you soon!

With love from Berlin,
Mr.M

Burberry: Black Trench is a Statement Fashion Item that will never go out of Style!

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to another fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. I sincerely hope you are well and take care of your health during this unfavorable worldwide health situation. Before I start today’s post, I would like to sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful messages and inquiries about my recovery after the operations in Istanbul.

Mom and I are fine and recovery is underway. We feel fantastic and we are very happy with the results! I will soon write about our experience and more details about the procedures, so you will have the opportunity to learn more about our operations and our stay in Turkey in special blog post.

We all know that black is a symbol of eternal elegance and sophistication. Also, it is known that there is no woman in the world who does not have at least one black dress in her wardrobe, we all know what the famous Coco Chanel said about the little black dress, so there is no need to quote her. ?

Is it the same with trench and overcoats? Do we all need a black trench or coat? Today’s post will be dedicated to this eternal – “iconic” piece that never goes out of style.

I believe that everyone who follows my blog from the beginning knows mine about my fondness for double-breasted trenches and coats. These are just fashion pieces that are my real “pain” point and I have significantly more of these things than the average man in the wardrobe…

Many of you know that I have been running away from black for years because I was honest with myself and others, so I was just convinced that black can suit people who have lighter blond hair and blue or green eye color with of course a normal tan color since, I’m white tan as goat cheese, but we’ll talk about my blood analysis some other time! ?

I will share with you one fact, and that is that this gabardine black trench is also my first trench of black color and this length… I had the opportunity to wear coats of various colors, but the darkest I wore was navy blue and you had the opportunity to see on the blog. All the other trenches and coats were lighter shades, but apparently the time had come to fit one black Kensington coat into Mr.M’s closet.

The first question that surely interests everyone: Is it worth investing money in a black Burberry coat? My answer for now is MAYBE, but I say that exclusively because the right answer depends on the customer’s taste. Each of us knows ourselves, our taste and our wardrobe best. Of course, when we enter the store, experts believe that our subconscious is aroused and out of excitement we cannot judge correctly, and that is why sometimes an unnecessary purchase occurs.

Buying a Burberry trench or coat is an investment, it is a fashion piece that can really be worn nicely and for a long time with proper maintenance and it is a thing you can leave for generations to come. I inherited my first Burberry coat from my grandfather and today I keep it carefully and wear it on special occasions because it has a special sentimental value for me.

When the time comes to buy a Burberry trench, it’s a big deal and especially if you are buying a coat for the first time it is very important to buy a “iconic” piece that you can combine with your items from your wardrobe and it is best to buy a coat in your favorite color, without blindly following trends.

What are the basic colors you should think about when buying a Burberry trench or coat? There is no universal answer to this question, but I will share with you my opinion and some of my colleagues and fashion experts with whom I like to exchange opinions. I think that for a start, there are 3 colors by which the Burberry trench or coat is recognizable, and they are: Beige (stone color), Camel (honey color) and Black color.

These three colors are some fashion statement basics, but as I said it all depends on the taste of the owner of the new Burberry trench, maybe that customer thinks that the basic colors in the palette are: red, purple and olive green. Therefore, a person will decide to buy a coat in one of those colors, which Burberry has in its seasonal offer.

Is the length of the coat crucial when making a purchase decision? Of course! I always try to advise people to buy iconic items in classic cuts and lengths and not to blindly follow trends. Trends are changing, one season there are modern coats of casual cuts with puff sleeves quite long length to the ground, after two months or a year later another trend comes.

My most honest advice is to buy a coat of length that suits your body constitution in proportion to your own height. Burberry coats exist in several lengths and I am sure you can always find the ideal coat for yourself.

Due to my height and constitution, I opted for the classic Kensington coat, if you want to remind yourself of the difference between Burberry coat models and coats, read my previous post, where I explained in detail the characteristics of each coat model offered by British fashion house Burberry.

Once again, is it worth investing money in a black coat? If you’re a fan of black and have a lot of black stuff, then I think you know the right answer. If you feel some kind of insecurity while trying on a black coat and reconsider your decision several times, I think it’s best to try a different color. When you buy an expensive thing like a Burberry coat, it is something that must be accompanied by a feeling of fulfillment and security.

The trenches or coats are pieces that are worn over other pieces of clothing, so it is best to look at your favorite pieces of clothing and footwear before buying and evaluate for yourself which are the two or three colors that might come into consideration when buying a coat.

Since new winter “tenants” of black, gray, red, beige and white have recently moved into my wardrobe, I realized that maybe a black trench would be a new challenge for me and that’s why I decided to make my new double-breasted gabardine friend be just a classic black.

Did we fit in nicely at the end? Honestly, I believe we are. After so many years of loyalty to this British brand and because of my personal interest, I have learned a lot about their offer and I am lucky to always be able to show my favorite pieces from the fashion house Burberry on my blog.

In addition to the famous double-breasted trench, another piece of clothing – knitwear was made in Scotland, and that is this beautiful cashmere sweater, which is also the work of the fashion house Burberry.

OUTFIT

Trench: Burberry

Sweater: Burberry

Jeans: Brunello Cucinelli

Shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo

I have to admit that I had doubts when choosing the lower part of this outfit and that I was thinking whether to combine classic gray or black trousers or to go with the jeans.

I decided for jeans for the reason that it should be an everyday combination, classic trousers would be too much for an outfit that should be relaxed and I wanted everything to be in some balance.

The shoes themselves are very elegant and they have given a special mark to this fashion combination and together with the trench they have created a real fashion harmony.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of this special post where together we discovered the beauty of black tones in autumn fashion outfits! See you soon and continue our fashion adventures on the Mr.M blog with the hope that I will take new and interesting photos when my bruises pass! How did you like my outfit today?

Memorigin: Oriental Art of presenting Time…

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to the new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. After a long time, I wrote a story in advance because I knew that I would be busy with new challenges while fulfilling my biggest life wish, nose correction – rhinoplasty and other aesthetic procedures. When you read this post, I may be great or at least whine a little about how my head hurts, but I firmly believe that I will be satisfied that I have fulfilled my greatest wish.

Today’s post is a continuation of previous stories about an unusual brand of luxury watches that comes to us from distant Hong Kong – Memorigin. You have had the opportunity to meet this brand during the summer and autumn season at Mr.M blog. In different outfits, you had the opportunity to see how their unusual time machine fit in with my style.

In previous posts, you have seen how this unusual watch fits in with everyday and business-elegant style. Today I decided to show you how this watch can also fit nicely with a sporty style.

Usually when I mention sports style to people, everyone imagines ordinary canvas tracksuits, a cap and glasses. Of course, this fits in perfectly with the vision and idea of the cult of sports fashion itself, but there is another more elegant version of sports fashion.

When autumn comes and early winter until the first snow falls, when my daily duties do not require some special strict dress code, I gladly take the opportunity to wear my favorite cashmere loungewear.

So I decided to show you how this precious elegant Memorigin watch can be worn with a tracksuit, but that it looks with a sense of good style and taste.

Let us remind once again, Memorigin is one of the most famous Hong Kong watch brands, which was founded in 2011 by Mr. William Schum. The brand specializes in making tourbillon watches, a mechanism that is often associated with luxury and prestigious Swiss watch brands. This mechanism is produced in only a few factories around the world. The prices of watches with this mechanism can even reach dizzying price ranges with 5 or 6 zeros, depending on the brand itself.

The founder of the Memorigin brand decided that there is a possibility to produce a quality middle-class tourbillon, which will sell directly to the growing Chinese watch market and thus reach other world markets.

Tourbillon watches made by the Memorigin brand are unique because they combine Chinese and Western design elements. At the founding of Memorigin, Mr. Schum stated that he wanted to create watches that possessed “Swiss precision with Chinese characteristics and oriental spirit.”

Certain watch models from limited special art collections are often designed by the Memorigin brand in collaboration with well-known Hong Kong watch collectors. Memorigin has always shown interest in becoming a custom-made watch brand, not a mass-produced one.

The model that complemented my outfit today is the Memorigin watch from the special collection “The Time Machine Series“. This model is adorned with a timeless gold-plated rose steel case with a white dial without much detail, nurturing the aesthetics of simplicity and elegance. A luxurious brown crocodile bracelet emphasizes the elegance of this unusual watch. This watch is an interesting masterpiece, made for all lovers of true beauty and aesthetics that support the “laws of elegance”.

Burberry: A Daily Dose of British Iconic Elegance that will make your day!

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to another October fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog! I hope that these unusual low temperatures, as well as this gloomy and rainy weather did not spoil your mood. Today we will get into the fashion time machine together and discover one of the unusual fashion pieces made by my favorite British fashion house Burberry.

Burberry is one of the most famous traditional British fashion houses that has patented its famous trenches and coats which are also a trademark of this fashion empire. I believe that everyone who has been following my blog for almost 6 years, knows my enthusiasm for this exceptional brand.

There is one interesting fact about big fashion houses that many people do not know or sometimes forget. All creations that marked the collection of a certain year and season are kept in the company’s archives. Because of my job, I had the opportunity to peek into the archival collections of certain fashion brands and I must admit that I am always delighted.

Today I present to you a real gem from the Burberry archive collection. Burberry trenches and coats represent the very top of world fashion fashion and have become iconic fashion classics of today. These coats were created by the founder of the Burberry company – Thomas Burberry more than 100 years ago, inspired by the British heritage, and at the same time introduced elements of urban fashion.

You can find all the classic Burberry coats in the basic 5 models: Legendary Kensington, Westminster, Chelsea, Waterloo and Pimlico. All models were named after city areas in London. What is the difference between these models?

The Kensington – a classic model with a modern cut that easily adapts to any silhouette. The most popular model, which is available in four basic colors: gray, navy blue, honey (camel) and black. Also, this model is made in two lengths.

The Westminster – a model that is oversized and lightly tailored for a draped silhouette. Basic colors: honey (camel) and dark military green (khaki). Also, this model is made in two lengths.

The Chelsea – a model characterized by a slim fit (narrow shape next to the body) with narrow shoulders and a cropped waist. The basic colors are honey and navy blue and it is also available in two lengths.

The Waterloo – A more comfortable cut, a longer model than the classic one with a subtle and relaxed cut, which is ideal for layered clothing. This model is made in three basic colors: chestnut, black and honey – camel and is available in only one length.

The Pimlico is a simple straight cut when adorned with a single-breasted button with a minimalist character and a modern cut. This model is usually made in navy blue, biscuit (biscuit color) and honey-camel color. This model is also available in only one classic length.

I would like to mention that all the listed colors are just classics that are always produced, but the Burberry company is introducing seasonal colors to enrich their offer.

Most Burberry coat models have been made in Castelford, Yorkshire for more than 50 years by hand from gabardine – a revolutionary fabric that Thomas Barberry proudly presented in 1879. Polished, light and practical, beautiful cotton resistant to various types of weather conditions, which has remained in the heart of the Burberry brand to this day.

The classic coat model originated and developed from the basic form of the Tielocken coat, which was patented in 1912 by Thomas Barberi. A simple yet sophisticated unique shape that has adapted over the years and become a recognizable Burberry coat.

Each Burberry trench is special and has its own story – one that is made to last and to write new pages of life chapters together with you. Coats and overcoats are an investment that pays off, it is also a gift for generations to come. Believe me, I know that from my own experience, because I inherited my first Burberry coat from my grandfather’s wardrobe before my blogging career, and today I gladly keep it and wear it on special occasions.

The leather coat that you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is special because it is made of the highest quality lambskin, which is especially thin with this model. This Kensington model is specific because it is filtered with the finest fluff and is double-lined with leather. Because of all this, the leather processing had to be different and the leather is significantly thinner than with classic Burberry leather coats.

I am glad that I got this exceptional opportunity to walk the streets of Berlin, this priceless piece that I did my best to enter because all the archive models are kept in runway sizes. Since you all know how often I complain about wider hips and my specific build, you will surely understand my “battle”.

My outfit today was complemented by two things that are very dear to me: the Ématelier watch and the Picard backpack.

You have had the opportunity to see this incredible Ématelier watch in previous posts, which, in addition to faithfully showing the time, is also a real master-piece of art that adorns the hand. My new friend Jaguar from the special collection “Kingdom” is a watch that was handmade in faraway Canada in the main workshop of Ématelier, a brand behind which stands a passionate watch lover, founder Alex Landa.

OUTFIT

Leather Trench: Burberry

Turtleneck Sweater: Brunello Cucinelli

Watch: Ématelier

Jeans: Brunello Cucinelli

Backpack: Picard

Shoes: Roberto Cavalli

This Fall, novelties also arrived from my Picard friends who have supported my adventures around the world for years, and Picard leather friends have never let me down. The quality and design of Picard accessories is amazing and after so many years and carrying pounds of luggage I carry my Picard backpacks in blog posts as well.

Today I present to you model Buddy, my friend from the new Picard collection who is keeping me company in Berlin this season, while we are ready to look forward to the new adventures that await us. This backpack is made of the highest quality leather, a classic design in black.

My dear fashionistas, we have reached the end of this special post where we discovered some incredible iconic pieces for this winter season! How did you like my outfit today? Have you found some inspiration for some of yours great outfit in black color?

I really tried to prepare today’s post with a lot of love and I hope you will like it! See you in a couple of days with some new interesting story!

I advise you to listen to my advice due to the current health situation with the new variant of Corona virus – Lambda in almost all European and countries around the world. If you need to go out into the fresh air, take a walk and clear your mind and enjoy the charms of the autumn, feel free to do so, but do not go to places where there are a lot of people and thus encourage crowds.

If you have been vaccinated (both doses of the vaccine or even with third Booster dose) you need to wear a mask for your own safety. If you are abroad on vacation, I would ask you to respect local COVID-19 laws related to community health.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or a message for me, you can write to me below in the comments. Of course, as always, you can contact me via email or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT ME page. I’ll see you soon!

Skandinavik Fur: Timeless and Iconic Elegance of Fur that is remembered…

My dear fashionistas, I hope you are doing great and ready for a new fashion adventure. Autumn is a period when we all change the arrangement of clothes in the wardrobe and look forward to warmer pieces such as sweaters, jackets and coats that keep us warm during autumn and winter.

When buying luxurious, timeless, authentic fur, Skandinavik Fur uses the expertise, sophisticated skill and love of the craft that has been passed down from generation to generation, to create a wide range of timeless and luxurious fur products, including clothing, scarves, covers and blankets.

This family company is run by the third generation, located in Siatista, an unusual city of 7,000 inhabitants in northwestern Greece. With 90% of the city’s population involved in fur production, it is a real art that is passed down from generation to generation. The name of the company itself is dedicated to Scandinavia, where most of the skins come from.

The best fur manufacturers are skilled and experienced craftsmen with a sharp eye for detail and a strong sense of aesthetics, devoting numerous hours in hand-making high-quality fur garments. Adapting to the new age and the digital world, this company has perfected its production processes.

Due to its unique holistic approach and with deep respect for natural resources, the Skandinavik Fur company rationally consumes fur. With good imagination, vision and skill of the master, they turn all the remnants of fur into beautiful fashion items whenever possible.

Fur is not exclusively intended for women, but also men’s fur coats can be an interesting accessory that will refresh the wardrobe of every modern man. You’ve probably once wondered what are the reasons for famous men, famous rappers who love chinchilla fur and long fox fur coats. The answer is simple, such furs exude magnificent energy that reflects luxury and style. Mink is the right choice to achieve a more elegant look, and a fur-lined parka or fur-lined leather jacket – shearling jackets are slightly more conservative options. You can explore the Skandinavik men’s collection and I am sure you will find something unique for this fashionable winter season.

The key difference in the fur that comes out of the Skandinavik Fur factory is the final products that require a lot of experience, skill, patience and a special manufacturing technique – a time-consuming process that many fur manufacturers have abandoned over time. All Scandinavian fur coats exude a unique and exceptional aesthetic, which is appreciated by the most picky fur lovers. In addition, their sectional fur-making techniques, such as half-skins, chevron patterns, oval patterns and others, create a unique look that can rarely be found in Europe.

When investing in a timeless piece like fur coat, you want to be sure to buy directly from an experienced fur manufacturer who can provide you with the best service after the purchase, transferring knowledge about how to maintain fur products, and at the same time offer high quality products that are professionally made.

The Fur Jacket from today’s post, a short jacket with a hood, is made of mink, which is specially painted in three colors. This model is also elegant and has a certain sporty elegance, so it can be worn by people who are oriented to a slightly different sports wardrobe.

Stay warm this winter while keeping a crisp look with the hooded SAGA mink fur coat. If you are looking for a sportive, casual and yet luxurious look then this is the way to go. The mink fur’s high insulation index keeps you toasty warm and you can forget the bulky outerwear when the weather becomes harsh. The straight cut provides extra comfort and a classic timeless look. Handmade with high quality standards and designed to last for years, if not decades with proper care. Made with female SAGA mink skins

Sharp lines, comfort and practicality are some of the basic characteristics of this luxury piece. It can be worn with a white shirt, black pants, an interesting leather belt or you can pair a nice white sweater with jeans. The hood is made of mink on both sides and on the top, because it is suitable for a luxury item like this jacket.

I tried to complete this outfit with classic Brunello Cucinelli pants and a skirt, elegant pieces that fit perfectly into this clothing combination. Gray simple pants and an elegant roll of soft light beige color fit perfectly this time!

OUTFIT

Fur Jacket: SKANDINAVIK Fur

Turtleneck Sweater: Brunello Cucinelli

Trousers: Brunello Cucinelli

Sneakers: Salvatore Ferragamo

Since the whole outfit was in a certain sporty – elegant tone, I decided to wear my new Salvatore Ferragamo made of embossed crocodile leather. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. Of course, the black color goes great with the colors that predominate in my wardrobe. Salvatore Ferragamo is a famous Italian brand that is at the very top of the fashion industry and has conquered the fashion scene.

After many years of success, he managed to take a high position in the world of fashion and is known for the production of the famous women’s Varina ballet flats and men’s sneakers made of exotic leather.

My dear fashionistas, we have reached the end of this special post where we discovered some incredible brands from Greece and Italy! How did you like my outfit today? Have you found some inspiration for some of yours great outfit in brown – grey – black color?

I really tried to prepare today’s post with a lot of love and I hope you will like it! See you in a couple of days with some new interesting story!

I advise you to listen to my advice due to the current health situation with the new variant of Corona virus – Lambda in almost all European and countries around the world. If you need to go out into the fresh air, take a walk and clear your mind and enjoy the charms of the autumn, feel free to do so, but do not go to places where there are a lot of people and thus encourage crowds.

Memorigin: Would you change your Destiny if you owned a Time Machine?

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to the Mr.M blog! As every week, I always try to share some new fashion stories with you and take you on some new fashion adventures. I believe that all of us as children, under the influence of comics and with the appearance of animated films and series, endlessly admired the heroes with super powers.

I will start today’s post with an unusual question: “If you could choose a certain superpower, which one would you choose?

I will give you my answer today, and that is the power of time travel. As a child, I always wondered how interesting it would be to be able to turn back time so that I could do some of my favorite activities again. As I grew, my desires grew with me, some changed, some remained the same. I may not have been able to get the real time machine, but my friends from Memorigin, a watch brand of tourbillon watches from Hong Kong, decided to fulfill one of my children’s wishes in an unusual way.

I may not have discovered the real time machine, but I received one unusual gift that can always remind me of a carefree childhood and when I dreamed that I could manage time. I am sure that all of us need a time machine to correct some of our decisions or to see once again some dear people who still have a special place in our heart, but are not physically present. Yes, one thing is for sure, we all need one time machine…

Let us remind you, Memorigin is one of the most famous Hong Kong watch brands, which was founded in 2011 by Mr. William Schum. The brand specializes in tourbillon watches, a mechanism that is often associated with luxury and prestigious Swiss watch brands. This mechanism is produced in only a few factories around the world. The prices of watches with this mechanism can range up to dizzying millions and billions of euros or dollars, depending on the brand.

The founder of the Memorigin brand decided that there is a possibility to produce a quality middle-class tourbillon, which will sell directly to the growing Chinese watch market and thus reach other world markets.

Tourbillon watches made by the Memorigin brand are unique because they combine Chinese and Western design elements. At the founding of Memorigin, Mr. Schum stated that he wanted to create watches that possessed “Swiss precision with Chinese characteristics and oriental spirit.”

Certain watch models from limited special art collections are often designed by the Memorigin brand in collaboration with well-known Hong Kong watch collectors. Memorigin has always shown interest in becoming a custom-made watch brand, not a mass-produced one.

The model that complemented my outfit today is the Memorigin watch from the special collection “The Time Machine Series“. This model is adorned with a timeless gold-plated rose steel case with a white dial without much detail, nurturing the aesthetics of simplicity and elegance. A luxurious crocodile bracelet emphasizes the elegance of this unusual watch. This watch is an interesting masterpiece, made for all lovers of true beauty and aesthetics that support the “laws of elegance”.

The designer of this exceptional collection of watches is Mark Lui, a watchmaker who believes that precision in time is the only gift that only people who are active in creating their own time can understand. Memorigin brand has really tried to bring every detail to perfection, such as work on smaller dials, the color of the crown, which has a specific design so that people with different tastes understand the value of time in their own unique way. The guiding idea for the creator of this amazing collection was one simple sentence: “Only time has the same value for different people.”

I will share with you some more technical information that will be useful to you, if you decide for this model of Memorigin watch:

Case Material: Stainless steel case    
Case Diameter: 43mm    
Watch Thickness: 15.5mm
Glass: Both sides sapphire crystal

Frequency: 28800 Oscillation/Hour

Movement: Flying tourbillon
Features: 188 pieces of subassembly module & 21 jewels. The tourbillion located at 12 o’clock rotate at a speed of 60s for one circle. Manual winding mechanism

The Stenströms long-sleeved T-shirt made of the highest quality merino wool has a classic round neckline with navy-white stripes. An ideal piece for everyday casual outfits, especially since navy blue and white color easily fit with many colors. This t-shirt is made in knitted ribs in the cuffs and on the hem as well.

I decided to show you how you can wear this shirt in occasions that do not require a strictly formal way of dressing, but if you want to achieve a more elegant look, you can wear this shirt on classic navy blue or white-beige pants.

If you want to know more information about this interesting brand from Sweden, read my previous post at this link.

Since the whole outfit was in a certain everyday casual-elegant street style vibe, I decided to wear my new Louis Leeman python sneakers. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. Of course, the white color goes great with my items in the wardrobe. Louis Leeman is an Italian brand that conquered the fashion scene in a short time and managed to take a high position in the world of fashion.

Stenströms: Swedish Style, Quality and Comfort in every detail!

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to the new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. I believe that you are ready to slowly bring the summer season to an end and start preparations for autumn season. No matter how many years I have been waiting for new fashion trends together with you, I always have a feeling that I am doing everything for the first time.

Today I decided to present you an unusual Swedish brand that is known for its exceptional quality and comfort that can be noticed at the first touch when you see a piece of their incredible knitwear and shirts. Meet Stenströms, a brand that has been providing uncompromising quality for more than 120 years…

This unusual fashion story began in 1899 when the Swedish tailor August Stenstrom faced a large number of orders. His reputation as an exceptional master of shirt making spread throughout the city at the speed of light. All the elegantly dressed men in Helsingborg wanted to own at least one of his masterpieces, and it was extremely difficult for Mr. Stenstrom to meet the needs of the market with the existing production capacities.

To meet the needs of his sophisticated clients, he decided to build a shirt factory. Under the strict supervision of Stenstroms, a new possibility of producing a larger number of quality shirts opened up.

Over time, his business flourished, and the good word about quality shirts spread far beyond the borders of Sweden. Over time, more and more people discovered Stenstrom’s clothes, like the demanding captains who sailed the port of Helsingborg. Returning to their countries dressed in elegant Stanstroms clothes, they unconsciously helped it become a global brand.

Stenstroms is still internationally known for its traditional quality. Using only the best fabrics and fashion details, the Stenströms brand has become synonymous with classic and modern clothing. The perfect sense of comfort, quality and detail based on 120 years of sustainable traditional craftsmanship.

All garments that leave the doors of the Stenströms factory pay tribute to the integrity and knowledge of the tailor August Stenström. Each piece made is made with a lot of dedication in accordance with uncompromising quality standards. Only the finest fabrics in the world are used in the production process, and every detail in the creation of the design is shaped to perfection.

Innovative production combined with the classic way of making and new ideas provides a long-term result that all traditional fashion brands strive for, which have two main goals: making clothes that can beat time and use (classics), as well as nurturing tradition while adapting to new trends.

My outfit today consists of pieces from the new Stenströms collection, such as a vest and a cashmere sweater. Whatever the occasion, you can fit these fashion pieces very easily and simply. It’s an easy way to show off sporty elegance regardless of the season. You can wear the sweater over a shirt in the appropriate color for a slightly more formal look, or pair it with jeans for everyday style, as I did today.

I believe that each of us always tries to keep our favorite cashmere pieces as new and to try to keep our favorite sweaters as new with some of our little tricks. The Stenströms brand has great products to help you properly reflect cashmere pieces as new.

In the picture above you can see a special brush with a wooden handle that will help you remove those uninvited guests – small puffs, which can occur when wearing coats and jackets in the right way and not damage the material with the possibility of smoothing the surface of the material. thinning and does not lead to cracking either. Also in their offer you can find shampoo for washing cashmere products that you can use for hand or machine washing.

If you want to be up to date and find out all the novelties that the fashion house Stenströms is preparing for us, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Today’s and previous summer outfits as well was completed by a watch from the Akylon collection of the art Swiss brand MUSE, which you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous posts.

The case is made of 100% titanium in the color of rose gold, while the dial is made of aventurine, a type of quartz that is characterized by its transparency and the presence of mineral impurities in the form of platinum that give it a shimmering or shining effect called aventurescence.

MUSE watches are for all art lovers with refined taste and a sense of aesthetics. The basic idea of the founders of the MUSE brand was to re-examine and present the representation of time through an artistic prism. Mr. Robert and Mr. Leuba replaced the traditional hands, so the hours, minutes and seconds are shown in special art forms inspired by elements of nature and architecture.

MUSE dials are a moving art, time passes and different formations and shapes are made. Watches have become real small pieces of art today, only technology and inspiration have made it possible to enjoy the beauty of shapes that change on the MUSE dial every minute.

The MUSE brand has artistic limited watches that are classified into 6 special collections: Akylon, Kagura, Stella, Stella-S, Tanoura and Kyrian.

All MUSE watches are available in two sizes: 37 and 44 mm. The hexagonal shape of the MUSE watch case is very common and their watches are made of titanium. Titanium, as a material, is not only extremely light, but also very useful due to its resistance to corrosion and scratches. In addition, titanium is considered hypoallergenic, which is an ideal material for all those fans of watches who are looking for nickel-free watches that cause allergic reactions.

If you are looking for a watch for everyday use with great artistic value, MUSE watches are the ideal choice for you.

My watch is adorned with an Elaphe bracelet in a bronze brown-gold color. The bracelet is made of Elaphe water snake skin, which does not belong to the protected species.

For all additional information and news about MUSE watches, you can follow them on their official Facebook page and Instagram profile.

Since the whole outfit was in a certain sporty – elegant tone, I decided to wear my new Jacob Cohen pony fur sneakers. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. Of course, the camel color goes great with the colors that predominate in my wardrobe.

Jacob Cohen is an Italian brand that conquered the fashion scene in a short time and managed to occupy a high position in the world of fashion and is known for the production of famous jeans that have a recognizable detail – “pony hair plate” with the brand logo and name.

Tod’s: Fashion Accessories are the Key to Perfect Style…

My dear fashionistas welcome to another fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. Today’s story is a continuation of Tod’s stories and I will do my best to show you some interesting fashion details that have become dear to me in a very short time. In previous posts you had the opportunity to see two Tod’s jackets made of suede leather, if by any chance you did not manage to read my previous fashion stories related to the Tod’s brand, take some time and visit the following links: link 1 and link 2.

Previous Tod’s stories have proven that this Italian brand is one of the few brands on the fashion scene that has remained consistent with its roots and generations. All brands from the Tod’s group strive to maintain an elegant and refined direction while maintaining exceptional quality and result – a modern elegant classic ready-to-wear and footwear.

I have to admit that this fashion piece also surprised me a lot because so far I haven’t really worn a leather overshirt, which can also be worn as a light jacket that can be very practical. When I opened the package and saw the sleeve of this shirt, I was convinced that it was a nice leather jacket, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Tod’s as a brand has always stood out for its quality leather and models that come from craft workshops. Mr. Diego Della Valle’s idea was to create a shoe suitable for both formal and informal occasions, with a casual, comfortable, simple but refined taste.

Today, the Tod’s brand represents the pinnacle of Italian fashion and, in addition to footwear, produces clothes, knitwear and fashion accessories that have found their place in the hearts of people all over Europe and the world.

My outfit today is adorned with a leather overshirt from the new collection for autumn-winter 2021/22, which is a classic timeless model and can always be found in the offer of the Tod’s brand.

In addition to the leather overshirt, my outfit was complemented by Tod’s casual jeans in a beautiful shade of drape color and a leather backpack that with its “military” print brings a dose of a certain sporty elegance to my today’s clothing combination and perfectly closes the fashion circle due to its shades of brown.

If you want to be up to date and find out all the novelties that Tod’s fashion house is preparing for us, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

This silk T-shirt you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is a part of the new summer collection of the Italian fashion house SVEVO Parma, a family brand that you had the opportunity to meet on my blog through summer fashion stories.

This incredible fashion story began in Bari, when Mr. Nicola Somma opened a chain of knitwear stores for men and women, without any kind of knowledge that he started the “fashion wheel” of an Italian company that still focuses on the values of quality and authenticity.

In 1955, his son Mario Somma founded the first SVEVO knitwear factory for the production of high-quality knitwear, which was made by professional local craftsmen. Thus, from the center of Puglia, a country rich in resources and resourcefulness, threads of sophistication and excellent craftsmanship are developed, destined to weave the future of the company.

Knitwear is a true art that is passed from generation to generation, a secret that is kept among a select few who, with their exceptional skill and intense passion, still manage to weave a new reality and spread love for finished knitted works of art among people around the world.

Previous and today’s Tod’s elegant outfits as well was completed by a watch from the Akylon collection of the art Swiss brand MUSE, which you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous posts.

The case is made of 100% titanium in the color of rose gold, while the dial is made of aventurine, a type of quartz that is characterized by its transparency and the presence of mineral impurities in the form of platinum that give it a shimmering or shining effect called aventurescence.

MUSE watches are for all art lovers with refined taste and a sense of aesthetics. The basic idea of the founders of the MUSE brand was to re-examine and present the representation of time through an artistic prism. Mr. Robert and Mr. Leuba replaced the traditional hands, so the hours, minutes and seconds are shown in special art forms inspired by elements of nature and architecture.

MUSE dials are a moving art, time passes and different formations and shapes are made. Watches have become real small pieces of art today, only technology and inspiration have made it possible to enjoy the beauty of shapes that change on the MUSE dial every minute.

My watch is adorned with an Elaphe bracelet in a bronze brown-gold color. The bracelet is made of Elaphe water snake skin, which does not belong to the protected species. For all additional information and news about MUSE watches, you can follow them on their official Facebook page and Instagram profile.

OUTFIT

Suede Leather Overshirt: Tod’s

T-Shirt: SVEVO Parma

Watch: MUSE Swiss Art

Jeans: Tod’s

Backpack: Tod’s

Sneakers: Dolce Gabbana

Since the entire outfit was in a certain classic tone, I decided to take my favorite sneakers I bought last year for a walk. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. They may have spent some time in the closet, but in the end they waited for their five minutes of fame! Of course, this shade of drape color goes great with my pastel colors in the wardrobe.

My dear fashionistas, we have reached the end of this third special post where we discovered the beauty and splendor of Italian brand Tod’s together! See you soon and we will continue our fashion story about the Italian brand Tod’s on the Mr.M blog! How did you like my outfit today?

I really tried to prepare today’s post with a lot of love and I hope you will like it!

I advise you to listen to my advice due to the current health situation with the new variant of Corona virus – Lambda in almost all European and countries around the world. If you need to go out into the fresh air, take a walk and clear your mind and enjoy the charms of summer, feel free to do so, but do not go to places where there are a lot of people and thus encourage crowds.

If you have been vaccinated (both doses of the vaccine) you need to wear a mask for your own safety. The summer vacation season has begun and many of you is spending vacation at sea, so I would ask you to respect local COVID-19 laws related to community health.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or a message for me, you can write to me below in the comments. Of course, as always, you can contact me via email or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT ME page. I’ll see you soon!

With love from Berlin,
Mr.M

Tod’s: A Fashion Story that combines high quality Craftsmanship and Timeless Italian Elegance

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to the new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. Today’s summer story will be dedicated to the Italian brand Tod’s, which we had the opportunity to get to know better in one of the previous blog posts.

A brand considered the top of Italian design, Tod’s embraces a lifestyle that has always been an association for timeless elegance with superior quality. A way of life that is connected with the concept of the Italian way of life, good taste and “savoir vivre” – the art of living life.

Tod’s is synonymous worldwide for unmistakable elegance and refined style, the brand has for years created true style icons of contemporary luxury through its collections of footwear and leather goods for men and women. Each product is made using traditional and modern techniques of top Italian craftsmanship, creating exceptional items that are the subject of “fashion lust” of all fashion lovers from all over the world.

Tod’s fashion group is known for its national and international socially responsible development sustainability projects. One of the most famous projects is “Tod’s for Colosseum” – the restoration of the Colosseum, a symbol of Italian history.

The intervention plan for the reconstruction of the Colosseum is a project commissioned by the delegate commissioner for archeological sites of Rome and Ostia Antica, in cooperation with the Special Group for the Protection of the Colosseum and the Archaeological Area of Rome, and implemented thanks to the selfless support of Tod’s group.

The first phase of works was completed and included the renovation of the northern and southern facades, with an area of about 13,300 square meters, and the replacement of the arch closing system with the construction of new gates.

The renovation plan will continue with the renovation of the Colosseum basement, standardization and implementation of the system and the construction of a service center that allows additional activities to support visitors to this cultural monument.

The second phase of work, which began in December 2018, under the leadership of the new autonomous institute Parco Archeologico del Colosseo, included the hypogea area, a “monument within a monument” a kind of amphitheater located below the arena and in ancient times invisible to spectators . More than 80 people took part in the restoration work, including archaeologists, restorers, architects, engineers and other experts.

At the end of the works, a promenade 160 meters long was set up, accessible to all visitors, which gave visitors the opportunity to see the hitherto unexplored part of the Colosseum, which was not feasible before.

Previous Tod’s and today’s elegant outfit as well was completed by a watch from the Akylon collection of the art Swiss brand MUSE, which you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous posts.

The case is made of 100% titanium in the color of rose gold, while the dial is made of aventurine, a type of quartz that is characterized by its transparency and the presence of mineral impurities in the form of platinum that give it a shimmering or shining effect called aventurescence.
