ELUSIV TOP TEN QUICK FIRE
1. Do the clothes make a man?
No. They help bring out who he really is.
2. Should men accessorise more and what can they do?
We should and a good choice of pocket square and tie are very good starts to that if we are wearing a suit.
3. What item of clothing should men DEFINITELY have? (ie; good pair of shoes, good cut jeans...etc)
I'd have to go with a very decent jacket, as timeless as possible. The lapels and the height of the buttons should all be moderate so it never looks too much out of style.
4. Name a very well dressed celebrity that always gets it right.
Robert Wagner. Ever since his young days, he's had the right look.
5. How can a man dress if he wants to look professional but still contemporary and funky?
There's still nothing wrong with a decent jacket. I would go for more casual trousers and a single-colour sweater in the winter; in the summer, a tailored shirt to replace the sweater.
6. What is your favourite international menswear label and why?
Right now I like Tom Ford but this changes every season! The cuts are very good.
7. Should there be more menswear on the catwalk?
Heck yes.
8. Complete this sentence.... The kiwi male should dress ...
Properly and not hold up Marc Ellis as an icon.
9. Are you a fan of layering and do you have any tips?
Not for men. Even if we do dress in a complex way the overall look should still appear simple.
10. Give us one word that comes into your head when you think of Elusiv Menswear.
I do think funky!
