Ethan Ruan [阮經天] in Raf Simons - Samsung Galaxy Taiwan Promotions

00O00 Menswear Blog: Ethan Ruan [阮經天] in Raf Simons - Samsung Galaxy Taiwan Promotions
Promotional appearances in the far east seemed a lot more fun. Taiwanese artistes Ethan Ruan [阮經天] and 小S were pictured in Taipei recently to promote the latest smart phone from Samsung Galaxy. Ethan looked effortlessly stylish in a black blazer and white trousers combo with a Raf Simons t-shirt underneath. The event was cleverly styled, with the blue on Ethan's shirt, matching 小S's micro mini, and of course Samsung's colour of choice. They looked like they had so much fun, love it.

Christian Louboutin and Melita Toscan du Plantier attended the Premiere of 'Le Passe' (The Past) during The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France. Christian wore one of my all time favourite shoes: the black felt/suede slippers with golden tassels. The gorgeous shoes were perfect for the red carpet at Cannes. Close up of the shoes showed the tassels were somewhat inspired by India, giving it a very royal and Maharaja feel. Oh I love the shoes so much.

Justin Timberlake - Torch Cannes 'Spinning Gold' Celebration

Justin Timberlake arrived in style to the Torch Cannes celebrating his upcoming film "Spinning Gold" during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival held at Torch at Vegaluna Beach Club in Cannes, France. Justin wore a beautiful light weight jacket, which I believed to be from Belstaff. I couldn't find an exact match, but the details around the snap buttons, collars and pockets appeared to be a cross between the Belstaff "Redborne" and "Seven" jackets. Maybe a jacket from the upcoming collection? I'm pretty sure it is Belstaff, if it isn't, it is too close for comfort. Love the very dapper look on Justin. Do you like Justin's style at Cannes?

Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire attended the Opening Ceremony and 'The Great Gatsby' Premiere during the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival at the Theatre Lumiere in Cannes earlier this evening. Tobey Maguire wore a black grain de poudre smoking tuxedo, cotton voile shirt and black silk bow tie, all from Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane. The suit is similar to the one he wore to last week's Metgala in New York.

Love Tobey Maguire, there's something about him I really love. Really can't wait to watch The Great Gatsby.

Leonardo DiCaprio attended 'The Great Gatsby' photo call at the 66th Cannes Film Festival, held at the Palais des Festivals on the Croisette Avenue in Cannes today. The actor wore a wool gabardine suit, striped cotton poplin shirt and derby lace up shoes, all from Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane.

A rather toned down look from DiCaprio. Very much looking forward to the red carpet event later, and can't wait to catch the movie soon.

Richie Culver's Jimmy Choo "Byron" Suede Monkstraps Shoes - Dover Street Men's Store Opening, London

00O00 Menswear Blog: Richie Culver in Jimmy Choo Byron suede monk strap shoes - Opening of new Jimmy Choo menswear store No.35a Dover Street London
Jimmy Choo recently opened their new menswear store at No.35a Dover Street in London. We headed to their swanky shop yesterday evening for a few drinks, and checked out what's in store. UK based artist Richie Culver was also in attendance, dressed stylishly in a light brown mac for the London showers. Love his round bowler hat and those gorgeous brown suede Jimmy Choo "Byron" monkstrap shoes. (I wore a grey mac with brown suede shoes too, great minds?)

The new Jimmy Choo men's flagship store located at No.35a Dover Street is set in a historic Georgian building. The 1,200 square foot store spreads across two floors housing a complete assortment of Jimmy Choo men's accessories. Slick finishes of black marble and leather are complemented with textures of felt, velvet and tweed. Vintage furnishings provide a 1960s retro edge to the modern interior.

Wandering around the store, I picked out two of my favourite shoes:

Yes there's a shoe on my scorpion, but isn't that gorgeous? These "Sloane" red felt slippers with gold embroidered scorpions were made exclusively for their new store at Dover Street. Oh I like very much.

#WishlistWednesday: Eddie Redmayne's vintage Globe-Trotter and Rimowa luggages

Eddie Redmayne was pictured at Los Angeles airport a while ago, arriving for the Academy Awards 2013. I love looking at people's luggage, part voyeuristic, part obsessed with the notion of voyages and modern day aviation travel. Eddie opted for something old and something new, mixing a gorgeous vintage hand held Globe-Trotter case, with a modern and sturdy Rimowa black hard case check in luggage. I am quite honestly, obsessed with Globe-Trotter luggages. It has that gorgeous old school look, but now tweaked slightly (with handles and wheels) for modern day travel. I even wished my hard case luggage would wear out sooner so I can justify an investment in a large check-in sized Globe-Trotter.

Rimowa luggages have long been renowned for their sturdiness. I believed Eddie chose the classic black 78cm "Topas Multiwheel". My personal favourite would be the one in silver though, that seemed to have a lot more oomph to it.

New this week at Mr Porter are these gorgeous Rimowa luggages, and exclusive Globe-Trotter hand held cases made for the online retailer. No reason not to travel in style and practicality anymore. Do you travel with Rimowa and/or Globe-Trotter luggages? Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Jared Leto in Saint Laurent - New York Street Style

Jared Leto was pictured in New York over the weekend. The actor and band member of "30 seconds to Mars" wore a slim fit leather biker jacket from Saint Laurent. He kept the rest of his outfit in shades of black, paired with white Dr Martens shoes. I find this to be not an easy jacket to wear, what do you think?

A wave of celebrities started wearing the Hedi Slimane designed Saint Laurent collections recently. Adam Levine, Miguel and several artistes from the Far East. Who has been your favourite? Click here to see all the Saint Laurent menswear activity recently.
