Dazed gives a look inside the new Vivienne Westwood MAN Store in London. “A few doors down from 44 Conduit Street, the classic retail home of Vivienne Westwood, there is now a Westwood MAN store! Cue joyful screams. For far too long the male Westwood shopper has been forced to venture down the stairs to the cellar of No. 44, but with last week’s shop launch, dedicated male customers can now spread out to fully enjoy themselves. The shop – at 18 Conduit Street – have the textural qualities of stone, ‘shuttered’ concrete, rusted steel and wide oak boards as flooring. Nickel-plated rails and cabinets will provide a crisp contrast to this earthy tone.”

Paul Smith line drops their latest fragrance for men everywhere, simply entitled, “MAN.” “The new cologne, created by Nathalie Lorson, who’s worked with Jil Sander and Trussardi as well as on earlier PS scents, is a strong mix of powdery orris, citrusy yuzu, and incense. It’s heady stuff—here, as always, less is more—but fresh and appealing, too. As an added bonus, the bold, geometric bottle is as handsome as any we’ve seen lately, and well deserving of some prime shelf space. A bold look for a big scent—see: book, cover.” Look for it at Paul Smith store  and online on August 6. (men.style)
