Paying an ode to warm,bold colours is the autumn-winter 2013 collection by Lavie. Titled Haute Hues,the collection brings in a bright colour palette across various styles. While the totes offer a more formal look,the slings,in tones such as butter yellow and pop pink,are for those looking to have some fun on the go. This handbag in red with multiple pockets is ideal for the workplace. Classic Knot Vintage fashion is the buzzword this season and its no surprise that there are now numerous options for men too,if they choose to go retro. While you can always raid your grandfathers wardrobe,we love the selection of vintage designer silk ties and gold-toned cuff links that are part of Vianges Monsieur collection. Its a good mix of luxury labels such as Valentino,Yves Saint Laurent,Moschino,Paco Rabanne,Fendi,Christian Dior,Kenzo,Pierre Balmain and Givenchy,offering a selection of ties,cravats and cufflinks. This chequered cravat from Valentino is a classic pick. Smart Steps When it comes to footwear for men,hand-finished leather has always been a hot-stepper. The autumn-winter line-up by designer brand Ruosh makes the most of this style. The new collection offers casual to formal styles in a range of designs including those with metal embellishments. The casual range includes comfortable driving shoes,rugged boots and elegant sandals. The highlights are the hand-stitched two-tone burgundy shoes with a metal embellishment and the hand-finished boat shoes with lace detailing. The shoes are priced at Rs 3,490 onwards.
