Style Icons: Interview with Andreas Weinås

Meet Andreas Weinås; the 30 year old Swedish menswear journalist who proves to be an icon of a true Gentleman’s style.  Andreas who currently serves as both the Executive Editor of the online Menswear/Clothing publication Manolo.se as well as an Editor of the Swedish print publication Kings Magazine.  Andreas who was once a professional handball player, has entered the menswear industry from a rather unorthodox background.  Though now proves to be an innovator and source of inspiration for well dressed men around the globe.  We were given the incredible opportunity to interview with Andreas, whom was just recently dubbed by Rake Japan – as “One of the 10 Most Rakish Men” their way of saying: One of the Best Dressed Men in the World.

What are you currently inspired by?

“For the last two years I’ve been very inspired by South Korean tailoring. Conceptually I think B&Tailor does an amazing job and makes some of the finest bespoke pieces in the world. I love the slightly fuller cut and classic silhouette combined with modern and contemporary details. Another brand that I think is worth mentioning is Agyesh Madans brand Stòffa in the US. They make MTM outerwear, trousers, bags and accessories that are simply incredible. Especially the suede jackets that, in my opinion, are some of the best value in the business.”

Take us through a day in the life of Andreas Weinås.

“I try to workout at least 4-5 times a week and often before going to work. My workday normally starts around 9 a.m. with either a meeting in the city or at the office. I´m in charge of the day to day business of Manolo.se and on top of my own articles I edit the material from our freelance writers. I try to be as efficient as possible and plan my days in advance so that the website and magazine will run smooth even if I´m out of town for a business trip.”

How would you describe your own personal style?  Do you have a special cut philosophy?

“I consider my style to be a mixture of Scandinavian, Italian and British. The colour scheme is “Scandinavian” with a base of navy, brown and grey. I can appreciate men wearing vivid colors but I prefer a muted color scheme myself. The “Italian” part is definitely in the make. I prefer a soft construction with little to no canvas in the chest and shoulders. Neapolitan brands like Cesare Attolini and Orazio Luciano make some excellent soft tailoring in my opinion. The “British” part is the actual fabrics. There´s an expression called “Stile Inglese” which refers to Italians doing their version of British menswear. By combining the soft construction of Naples with heavy British fabrics in flannel, tweed and cashmere you get the best of both worlds if you ask me.”

Tell us about some of your go to pieces in your wardrobe.

“I have a navy made-to-measure suit from Cesare Attolini that I consider to be the backbone of my wardrobe. It´s made up in a British Birdseye cloth and the best fit I´ve experienced. Another piece that is special to me is a bespoke Polo Coat from B&Tailor in a “bulletproof” heavy wool fabric by Holland & Sherry. I´ve worn it pretty much everyday since I picked it up earlier this fall. On the more casual side, I would say that I´m extremely fond of my chocolate suede MTM jacket from Stoffa. It´s a shorter flight jacket with a large collar, oversize pockets and a double zip.”

What are your favorite clothing stores, either online or brick and mortar?

“I’m very impressed by The Armoury, both in New York and Hong Kong. I think they have done a lot for the revival of classic elegance in a modern context and they have a great philosophy about the brands or rather artisans they carry. In Sweden, I think Saman Amel (Made-to-measure atelier by two young and ambitious guys) is very inspiring.”

What do you think is the biggest faux pas or style sin that men commit?

“Not paying attention to the small details. It doesn’t matter if you buy a bespoke suit if you combine it with a pair of low quality plastic leather shoes. By paying attention to details like the tie knot and the sleeve/trouser length, you can look the part in something very reasonably priced.”

Tell us more about Manolo.se & King Magazine and your role at both Publications.

“Manolo.se is the biggest website in Scandinavia with a focus on sartorial menswear. We publish one article a day and it can be everything from a made-to-measure review to a feature of a new store opening. King Magazine is the biggest fashion magazine in Sweden for men and they are both are owned by Egmont Publishing.”

Manolo.se is the biggest menswear blog in Sweden, what is the greatest challenge in heading the site?

“I think the greatest challenge is to find a balance between high quality and a reasonable price range for the products we feature. We will focus a lot on bespoke in the +3000€-range because it´s simply the highest level of craftsmanship, but to be relevant to all our readers, we also try to highlight price worthy options under 1000€. To me it´s important that what we recommend is something that feels like a great product in that price range.”

What do you believe sets Stockholm apart, being your locality of choice?

“I’m originally from Gothenburg on the West Coast of Sweden but Stockholm is without a doubt a stronger city when it comes to sartorial menswear. With the Swedish financial sector located in the city, it´s only natural that men wear more suits and ties. I think especially young men in Stockholm dress exceptionally well with a lot of focus on fit and details.”

Favorite restaurant in Stockholm?

“My favorite restaurant in the city is a Japanese/Scandinavian fusion restaurant called Shibumi. It´s located in the basement of the Michelin star restaurant, Esperanto, but with a more simple presentation and a lower price point. The beef and salmon tartars are the best I´ve tasted in the world.”

Photographer: Ted Olsson

What timepieces do you currently have in your collection?  Do you have a holy grail watch you aspire to one day own?

“I have around 10-12 pieces at the moment. Since about a year or two I´ve decided to slim it down with fewer but “better” pieces. My favorite ones are the Patek Philippe Nautilus (ref. 5711), The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (ref. 15202) and my Cartier Tank Americaine. The most important in my heart however is probably my old Rolex Datejust (ref. 1600) that was handed down to me from my Grandfather. It´s a fairly humble piece, but the history and previous owner makes it such a special one.”

Where to next?

“At the time of writing I´m off to Milan for a very special project. I was asked to walk as a runway model for the Dolce&Gabbana FW/18 Menswear Show in Milano Fashion Week.”

The Best Luxury Women’s Fashion Blogs

In the sea of personal blogs, there is only a handful of those who are unique for the extravagant style of their authors. We picked the best of those which are definitely worth seeing (if you haven’t already).

Yin 2 My Yang

The major thing that separates this blog from other blogs is the clearly visible love and harmony between sisters Sophie and Charlotte Bickley. Since they were exposed to the fashion industry from a young age, they have always been in love with fashion. Just like yin and yang combine in contrast and by that create the perfect balance, the two sisters also embrace their different styles and manage to look perfectly in tune with one another. When you think of it, it can seem really hard to combine eccentric and spontaneous style with posh and feminine, but they somehow always manage to own the city streets as well as the hearts of their readers.

Get The Look

When it comes to their style, it is all about following trends but in your own way. For example, if you like the velvet rush, instead of buying a velvet crop top (that every girl in the world probably has), buy a long A-line velvet skirt with sequins and combine it with metallic loafers and exaggerated sleeve sweater. Or just get a long, long sleeved velvet dress and a pair of heels.
The key is in wearing comfortable and eye-catching pieces and following no rules, but still looking fabulous. Oh, and let’s not forget that light pink details and jeans are their number 1 favorites. It’s the 70s vibe at its finest.

Gal Meets Glam

The beautiful Julia Engel started her blog in 2011 while she was still in college. Even though she started it just to spread her creativity in some way and relax her mind by writing articles about fashion, travel and beauty. Eventually she fell so deeply in love with fashion and blogging, that she quit her day job and committed 100 percent of her time to her blog. We adore her because of her lady charm that makes you want to kiss her hand and take her to the opera.

Get The Look

When it comes to Julia’s style, it is minimalistic, sophisticated and really feminine. It is like she walked either out of a Parisian cafe, or pages of Vogue. She knows fashion and she knows how to turn it in her own advantage. She loves to embrace light colors like pink, grey and blue, as well as black and brown.  Basically, embrace your pure girly side by adding satin skirts & pants, flounce skirts, blush pink sweaters and dresses to your closet. Lots and lots of different dresses – short, long, long sleeved, short sleeved, strap, wrap etc…

Bisous Natasha

This beautiful brown London jewel is a model, blogger and a photographer who writes about fashion, photography, beauty and travel as well as her experiences from the fashion industry. Natasha Ndlovu created her blog in 2013. and she’s winning the hearts of true fashionistas ever since.

Get The Look

Even though her style tends to be trendy and classy, the beauty if it’s the small details she’s adding which are making it unique. For example, to spice up a basic clothing combination she adds a piece of bridal jewelry to it like a pair of earrings or a ring. Since she’s a model, she likes to rock fashionable pieces like ankle boots, wrap dresses, jagged edge jeans, print T-shirts, sweater dresses, designer bags, velvet sandals, metallic boots, hats etc…

Five Five Fabulous

The two Lebanese sisters created their blog in 2012. as a platform where they documented their journeys in fashion, travel and style. Reem and Natalya combine their creative skills and impeccable eye for detail to create the fabulous combinations that blow us away every time. They collaborate with many prestigious brands and have a very strong influence in fashion industry.

Get The Look

The greatest thing about their combinations is that there are no rules actually. You cannot define their style in any way. One thing is certain though: they’re big fans of basic garments like oversized T-shirts, faux leather pants, coats, white garments, black over the knee and ankle boots, black jeans, white sneakers, John Lennon glasses etc. which they combine with unusual details.

In conclusion we must say that, the major thing that separates these authors from all other authors is their individuality and boldness. Remember, the biggest success in fashion is being your own, and they’ve shown us exactly that. Make sure you check their blogs if you haven’t already.

The Masterful Mens Shoemaker: Vass

Vass has been excelling as one of the best mens shoemakers, creating fine made to order footwear for the elegant gentleman for over 30 years.  The founder/leader of Vass, Laszlo Vass, has studied a seemingly infinite amount of knowledge and a keen amount of insight on shoemaking, even going as far as putting his own philosophy of handmade shoes into a book.

Since the beginning of Vass, Laszlo Vass has upheld a steadfast determination in forging all his shoes by hand, employing hand welting techniques, opposed to most shoemakers who have been utilizing soulless stitching machines.  But today, with the support of a new and an enlarged team of over twenty highly skilled craftsmen, he now offers ready-to-wear shoes of the highest caliber to customers throughout the globe.

The handmade shoemaking practice in Hungary travels all the way back to the 19th century Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and a number of the methods and techniques have changed very little since then.  If someone’s personal shoe style revolves around English and Italian styles, then the Austro-Hungarian time-honored designs such as Alt Wein (punched cap toe) or the Budapester (wingtip) may appear a bit bulkier.  But with that curved shape and higher toe, the style becomes a brilliant matchup for a goyser welt structure along a robust design.

A pair of these shoes can go together with almost anything in your wardrobe, making your choice of wear very flexible.  The lift of the hand-welted sole, the high quality leather, the hearty & robust lasts, the imprecise allure of hand hammered nails and finishes.  So many different kinds of characteristics gives this shoe an air of distinction among other well known shoemakers, which labels Vass as a one-of-a-kind shoemaker that goes the extra mile to ensure you get the perfect pair of the utmost quality.

But for those looking for a sleeker designed shoe, Vass collaborated with Roberto Ugolini to develop a collection of Italian lasts that unite hand-welted construction with genteel forms. Vass also has a How To Order guide that takes you step by step through their ordering process.

Glamorous Makeup Looks for New Year’s Eve

The most glamorous night of them all is approaching – celebrating New Year’s Eve is always a nice occasion to show off your most glamorous looks. Since it only comes around once a year, nothing is forbidden. This applies to clothing, hairstyles, and, of course, makeup. New Year’s Eve is quite literally your time to shine, so you better stock up on sequined clothes and glittery makeup. In case you ran out of ideas, here are some of the best makeup styles for you to look as glamorous as possible while you are waiting for 2017 to come.

Sparkling cut crease

Cut crease technique is unavoidable when you want to achieve a dramatic look and there’s no better occasion for it than New Year’s’ Eve. Start by prepping your skin for makeup with high-quality skincare products, such are those from Alpha H collection. Once you’ve done this, prime your eyes with an eye primer and outline your crease and upper lash line with dark blue pencil. Create a cat-eye in the corner and blend it with a fluffy brush. Also, add a bit of dark blue shadow to intensify the colour. Grab a silver eyeshadow and apply a thick layer carefully so it doesn’t get onto the crease. Don’t forget about glitter pigment either! Apply eyeliner on upper lash line and put some mascara and false lashes if you like. Finish off with highlighting your brows. Since this is a really dramatic look, you’ll want to keep the rest of the makeup minimal – opt for a neutral lipstick and you’re good to go.

Shiny and romantic

This one’s a subtle yet glamorous look for the night of 31^st December and it starts by applying foundation and some highlighter on top of your cheeks to enhance your natural glow. A bonus tip for highlighting: add a dash of darker blush just below your cheekbone to create a more dramatic look. Fill in your brows subtly and then proceed to create a metallic eyes look. Base the whole lid with a concealer and then add copper eyeshadow on the inner and the outer corners of the lid. Put a thick layer of gold eye shadow in the middle and repeat until it blends with the corners. Traditionally, you would finish off with red lipstick but dare to be bold this year and consider adding beige gold lipstick to create a nice monochromatic look. Complete the look with a fine layer of mascara, et voilà – you’re ready to party.

Red lipstick classic

It’s amazing how a simple look with winged eyeliner and the right shade of lipstick can look glamorous. Of course, just because you won’t need many makeup products, it doesn’t mean it’s easy to get it right since winged eyeliner is a nightmare to most women. Our advice is to start early and be patient. After you prepped your skin and primed the eyes, grab your eyeliner and start drawing. To make it even more glamorous, add a fine line of glitter eyeliner next to the black eyeliner. Apply two coats of mascara and highlight the brows gently and your eye makeup is done. Proceed to the lips but be careful – red lipstick can bring out any inflammations you have on the skin, such as blemishes, veins, and capillaries, so you’ll want to create a smooth, even canvas with some fine liquid foundation formula. Finally, choose your shade of red lipstick, put it onto your pout and that’s it!

Now it’s your turn – make your choice and start prepping your makeup tools. Whatever look you choose, one thing is certain – you’ll surely turn heads and enter 2017 looking glamorous. Happy New Year!

2017: Watch Trends to Expect

Do you change your watch as often as you change your socks? Okay, so no one has the time or the money to do that! But if you do like to keep ahead of the latest fashion trends when it comes to accessories, you’ve come to the right place.

That’s right; we’ve done our research on the most exciting styles for the new season so you don’t have to! Think of us as your personal stylist, guiding you through what’s new at the back end of 2016 and the start of 2017. Read on…

Bold Cuffs – The 90s trend might have swept the catwalk at the start of 2016, with chokers taking centre stage when it comes to jewelry. But as we look to the end of the year and the start of a new one, dainty seems to be out and bold is in! Look for watches with large, cuff-like straps to make a real impression when it comes to your accessories. While this is arguably a more feminine take on style, a cuff-esque watch won’t look out of place on a man either.

Longines Mater Collection Men’s Watch from the Certified Watch Store

Semi-precious Stones – Everyone knows what their birthstone is, right? But did you know semi-precious stones are about to make a real statement in style in general. And when it comes to your jewelry closet, you can really have fun with beautiful jewels like this. Look for watches which feature semi-precious stones on the strap, or even on or around the clock face itself. The great thing about wrist wear like this is it works equally well for the office as it does for an evening out – why not pick out your favorite piece and stay ahead of the fashion curve?

Turquoise – Now here’s a colour you don’t expect to see much of in fall, but believe us when we say it’s enjoying something of a moment. If you’re not bold enough to add a sweater or two to your closet, why not make a subtle nod to the trend with a piece of jewelry here, or a new watch there. You’ll see turquoise in watch straps and it provides the perfect complement to silver or gold, too. Look out for the trend in 2017 and have fun with it!

How to Look Like a Million Dollar Babe for New Year’s Eve

Celebration of the New Year is one of the most entertaining occasions people enjoy to dress up for. While Christmas is reserved for family fun and rediscovering the feelings of joy, love and gratitude, most New Year’s Eve parties are all about… well… partying. Therefore, ladies often take extra measures to ensure that their appearance and style is impeccable. So, if you too have a special and elegant party to go to for this New Year’s Eve keep on reading. You might find a lot of useful advice that would put you in the spotlight as you dance into the New Year like a million-dollar babe.

Perfect outfit

The first and most important thing about great looks for the New Year celebration party is your outfit. You need to pay special attention if you’re going to attend a high-end gathering at a fancy restaurant. Before you start looking for your perfect dress or outfit combination, keep in mind that your comfort will be essential in order for you to have a great time. Then, you should always stick with clothing and dress forms that suit your body shape in a flattering manner. Once you have these basics covered, you can take your time to carefully choose the design and patterns that you want. If you’re going with a little black/red/gold/white dress, make sure to accessorize it with adequate jewelry. It’s New Year’s so it’s okay to add a bit of sparkle with your jewelry. On the other hand, if you opt for a sequin dress or shirt, keep your jewelry relatively simple. High heels are a must, so make sure to break these in well before the party.

Hairstyle and makeup on point

If you want to look really fashionable and stylish for a luxurious New Year’s Eve celebration, your hairstyle will play an important role as well. Basically, you should keep your hair frizz-free. This means either blow drying your hair with a round brush so that every hair is in its place or using a flat iron. If you don’t want to leave your hair down, definitely check out some of the most elegant updos and try them out several times before the party. That way, you can practice the technique and see for yourself what type of updo best suits your hair and face shape. As far as makeup is concerned, a ton of glitter is not really all that appropriate for a high-end party and definitely not in style for a million-dollar look. It would be best to stick to the classic femme fatale look – black winged eyeliner and stunning red lip. Of course, you can add that healthy glow with strobing technique.

Thorough prep

There are many other forms of preparation before a New Year’s Eve party and especially so if you’re going to travel somewhere else for this unique experience. For example, New Year’s celebration in Japan is quite different compared to your regular parties at bars and restaurants. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, you’ll get the chance to welcome the first day of the New Year at a shrine. But don’t be fooled. This is a very special occasion in Japan and people dress their very best to celebrate it. Some ladies take the trouble to show up in a stunning winter kimono; so, if you want to celebrate in a true Japanese style, you should definitely check out different types of kimonos and the ways to put them on. On the other hand, if you’re going to a tropical destination such as Australia, be prepared for some exquisite beach fun and celebration. Since most of the fashionable ladies show a lot of their skin and wear really sexy swimwear, make sure you do feel comfortable about that. Otherwise this is the last moment to do something about that. An expert of plastic surgery in Sydney says lots of people opt for some adjustments for this occasion in order to  get the best possible look for this night. Well, in this case, your body really is your biggest fashion statement.

Wherever you find yourself celebrating New Year’s Eve like a true queen that you are, remember to enjoy the general splendor and make these exceptional moments count. Once you look the part it is your confidence that should shine even brighter than the most luxuriously decorated Christmas tree. Physical appearance is not the only thing that makes you look like a million dollar babe but your attitude and behavior as well, so don’t forget to act the part too.
