Mr Essentialist profiles Mr. Calvin Chong of Vanity Press. The Melbourne-based blogger loves his red Topman pants, and pairs them with an Alexander Wang bag, a Carolyn Masser sweater and a Karl Lagerfeld shirt. Mr Essentialist adores the red pants on offer from Hartford, Carven, Ralph Lauren and Fold.
Mr Essentialist visited The Golden Bay, a spectacular and secluded area teeming with craftsman, potters and jewelers. The stunning scenery clearly is a great source of incredible inspiration.

Mr Essentialist loves discovering new time-tellers. In this case ‘re-discovery’ is a more appropriate term. The classic WW.TE chronograph by Girard Perregaux has been re-introduced and continues to exemplify extreme elegance, and would look great worn driving a vintage Ferrari. Just sayin’…
Mr Essentialist adores by lunar-inspired style, especially when a Rene Talmon L’Armee ring, Alexander McQueen X Puma high-tops and Skull Candy headphones are part of the equation. Houston, we have a situation indeed.
Mr Essentialist adores ‘Gangsta Chic’, especially when Mr. Pharrell Williams showcases his custom Hermes Birkin weekender. A Cartier Love Bracelet and watches from both Louis Vuitton and Toywatch don’t hurt either.
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.
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.
