Before Tacky Episode talks about Hats with a man who is an expert on the subject, Jacopo Politi, Head of Styling for Italian label BORSALINO. Co-Host Eugenia Kuzmina discuss the history, details and influences of the creative leader.
Part 2 of the Menswear Fashion Conversation with style consultants Taiwo Meghoma and Lyonnel Ahouissoussi.
I met Fashion Designer Brett Johnson in Milan at Fashion Week Men during his eponymous label’s presentation on via Manzoni. Tailored, luxury materials are the elements of all his collections. Curiosity got the best of me. I wanted to know what influenced him to become a designer. With co host Alex Popov, we discuss fashion and what men should have in their wardrobe.
However, I am inspired to work on my shoe count after this shoe count. A person can never have enough. I’ll keep you posted.

Stay tuned for part 2 of the interview.
Winter is Coming. I am a big coat fan. I believe having one for everyday of the week is not enough. My seven picks.
Every season, two times a year, I hit the luxury stores. Sale Season! Those words are music to my eyes, hard on the wallet. Always updating the wardrobe on a budget.
This year, like everything, things are a bit strange. Only a few customers allowed in the stores with fewer sales people.
I noticed the trend, lux mixed with streetwear. Few brands have transitioned well. I would say some pieces were ugly. Saying this in front of a 50% off sale sign is a statement. In the past, going to a select store was a treat. I could not wait to a designer look.
Something happened this year. I traveled to the centers of Hamburg and Berlin for the special occasions. To my surprise, I found nothing I wanted. Walking from one top brand store to another, nothing hit me. ( Later, I will tell you about the service in a few places.)
Kadewe and Alsterhaus department stores, temples of consumption where all is offered under one roof. Being there inspired me to write this article. What happened to the big brands? On shelves one after another, the numbing sensation overwhelmed me. Some items came across as cheap at 1000 euros. Overpriced H&M production models. High fashion was about being distinguished, exclusivity. I am not an elitist, but somewhat of a fashion style snob. When there is a good markdown.
Perhaps in the New Normal my motivation for buying has changed. Why do I need this or that? Life and work wardrobes center on Zoom T-Shirts.
There is still hope. I decided to buy a bag, and a scarf from independent luxury labels. The pieces are more original, more details.
In the middle of August you should be wearing these swimwear looks. What better way to make a beach style statement. By wearing handsome designs each with its own characteristics of colors, fabrics, and cuts.
