• Colour-Blocking

    Mr Essentialist is not one for trends, but for Fall it is difficult to ignore a fantastic color-blocking movement, spearheaded by 3.1 Phillip Lim. Great offerings naturally include a Marni shirt, Prada brogues and Dsquared kicks.

  • Mr. Elvis Presley

    One of Mr Essentialist’s ultimate style icons is Elvis Presley. While difficult to replicate, a Maison Martin Margiela signet ring, Mr Start sweater, Samira 13 bracelet, Orlebar Brown trunks and a Paul Smith shirt manage to capture the spirit of The King.

  • On The Rocks

    Mr Essentialist likes several things ‘on the rocks’ – visiting them however can often be treacherous. In true Steve McQueen style, enjoying the most spectacular of coastal scenes has never been such a breeze. Ultimate picks include a J Crew polo, Persol shades, APC shoes, a classic Barbour waxcoat and a platinum Cartier love bracelet.

  • Mr. Izzy Tuason & The Dandy Project

    Mr Essentialist profiles Izzy Tuason of The Dandy Project. The highly-innovative menswear blogger (and W Magazine street-style contributor) casts an elegant figure wearing Y3, Uniqlo, Common Projects, Illesteva, Jil Sander, Assembly New York, Vans and Acne.

  • New York City Grey

    Mr Essentialist has taken the plunge. Like inching into a hot bath, embracing grey colour choices have opened a world of wonder, including Margiela tees, Rad Hourani shades, Acne sweats and Lanvin kicks.

  • Sky-High Style

    Mr Essentialist remains a devout Kiwi. No one better exemplifies the spirit of the Land of the Long White Cloud than Sir Edmund Hillary. Inspired by his epic 1953 climb, this Sandqvist backpack and Yves Saint Laurent sunglasses capture the essence of Everest.

  • Miss Kathrin Freystätter

    Miss Kathrin Freystätter has discovered the impossible cool of the bold neon pop, perhaps inspired by Damien Hirst. Captured alongside her French Bulldog Virginia, Kathrin wears Jeffrey Campbell studded wedges, a Zara blazer and a classic Cartier tank. Freystaetter covets an Alexander McQueen bracelet, knitwear from Acne and a neon Aila bag.
