A Perfect Gentleman’s Day

‘A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.’ George Bernard Shaw Pictures by Andrea Monica Hug Make Up: Makeup Artist Maika Hair: Sven Allenspach Assistant: Mike Sambuca Akdil Model: Elizabeta Ljubic Fotogen Model Management Model: Ralph Widmer Gentlemensfashion Dogs: Doggen vom Rimensberg Location: Schloss Schadau – Thun What is it, that kicks us into a new world of ideas? Inspiration it is.

What is it, that makes us reaching the highest mountains? Passion it is.

And what can possibly be better than driving one of the most beautiful and powerful cars in the world?

Before reaching the highest thrones, something very important is missing. We’re not there yet. We’re moving towards perfection but we’re not there. What’s missing? You’re right. A beautiful woman. One that let’s the stars shine brighter than ever. One that holds your breath when walking in.

And where can a gentleman and his woman possibly spend their week-end? In a castle. It’s not just a castle, it’s THE castle. Astonishing doesn’t even describe this marvellous place.

Shine stars, make us brighter. Enlarge our passion. Make us flying through the universe. Deeper into the sea, further into the skies of the universe. Where everything ends and starts. Where all exists, where all is just one. Connected to each other.

How about a kiss my friend? 😉

Laugh, and the world laughs with you.

Fashion Hint – Blue Suit

The blue suit is tailored by Suitsupply.

Sunny from the store in Zürich is beautiful and very competent.

The concept is simple:

– Go to the store

– Get your measures

– Look for the material that feels good in your hands

– Try it

– Find the relevant accessoires (Tie, Pocket Square etc)

– Suitup

Fashion Hint – Black Suit

It’s a slim fit superblack suit by Hugo Boss, most amazing suit I have ever tried.

Coat is also by HUGO BOSS, my personal one.

Car review – Bentley Continental GTC

With a weight of 2,5 tons, this car is huge. And if I say huge, I mean huge in a very good way. Power and elegance, a real car for a gentleman. The purring V8 is producing 560 HP & 650 NM.

Snow? No Problem! It’s four-wheel drive supercar.

Interior Design

The cockpit of the Continental GT Convertible has been designed to provide tactile and visual delight, together with outstanding levels of comfort. Beautiful light brown leather on the seats, the chrome dials are one of the details I have really enjoyed.

Big thank you to Edel & Stark

I hereby would like to thank all of the involved people for the great support and work. We had a very professional crew, and a lot of fun!

From heart, I can recommend the work of my friends & companies I have collaborations, thank you so much.

Suitsupply Zürich – Opening Event & Interview

Suitsupply Zürich – Introduction

Yesterday I was attending the opening event of Suitsupply Zürich.
Since I started my blog, I’m a really big fan of the brand.

The new store looks very chic. The suits are made of wonderful materials and brilliant cuts. It is like a big candy shop for a gentleman with a passion for trend and fashion.

Suitsupply Zürich offers a big selection of colours and materials – there is something for every budget.

So… I arrived in the early evening to interview the vice president Nish de Gruiter

Interview with Nish De Gruiter – the VP of Suitsupply

How many countries are you selling your fashion so far and how is it going?

We have 57 stores and we will be opening another 8 – 10 stores this year.

In the last couple of months we were opening stores all over the continents.
In future we will be represented in cities like LA, Hong Kong, SF, Miami or Sydney.

What are the reasons you came to Switzerland and do you see a growing market here?

Funny you’re asking, I think Switzerland is a place for international people. Everyone is here, it’s one of the countries where the heartbeat of the world is happening.

How do you manage to sell such amazing suits with this brilliant material for these fair conditions?

All of our fabrics are Italian, we’re working with brands like Vitale Barberis, Larusmiani or Luciano Barbera. And we ship straight from Italy to the factory in the far east and then to the store.

Describe a perfect gentleman

It’s all about proportions, we’re all about fit. It’s all about fit. You can buy a suit for a couple of thousand, but if it doesnt fit, it’s useless.

And it’s not only about fashion. It’s the package. You’re opening the door for the woman, and you always behave correctly.

Myself with the HYT H1 – Quai du Mont-Blanc.

An encounter between Fine Watchmaking and fluid mechanics. One might say an utopia. Shattering all certainties, steamrollering conformity, the idea that led to the H1 was simple and consisted of two flexible reservoirs fixed to each end of a capillary. In one was an aqueous liquid filled with fluorescein, and in the other, a transparent viscous liquid. To keep them separate : the repulsive force of the molecules in each liquid, with a meniscus to mark the boundary between the two.
