The Dapper Report

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

well 2 weeks ago Paris Fashion Week ended and we saw a lot of great new collection from the world leading luxury designers.

For me it's always a great reason to travel to Paris.

This year I decided just to spend two days there for though PFW is a wonderful experience it's also a lot of stress.

A huge number of invitations, seeking the next location, driving through the whole town, after show parties.

All of this is incredible but after a whole week you feel distracted.

That's why I decided this year to make it more "lassoer faire".

I went to 3 shows and a store opening, besides on 2 after show parties.

The rest of the time I was spending at Musée d'Orsay, having dinner and pastries in little French boulangeries and restaurants.

First show I went to was Pascal Millet!

His collection was a mixture of straight cuts with a sporty touch and more feminine floral long dresses.

I'm sure that every woman will fall in love with some of Millets factory.

Millet is well known for his perfect fit and the phenomenal quality of all of his pieces.

The second show was Guy Laroche, the next day.

Simplicity and lightness are the two words which describe Laroches collection perfectly.

Black and white are his symbol colors for next spring/summer.

My favorite look was the yellow blue striped skirt in combination with this blue jacket.

This show was the highlight of my this years Paris Fashion Week.

After this show I met Anna dello Russo.

 Next year I'm going to visit some more shows again, but especially this year was pretty hard for me because of university.

Wishing you all a nice a day!

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

September was all about my favorite colors blue, green and brown and more casualty.

I enjoyed wearing sweaters & tshirts in combination with jeans and sneakers.

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

this is a little review about Düsseldorfs Vogue Fashion Night Out 2014.

Me and one of my dearest friends take part in this years VFNO.

The concept of this night is that all stores are open until midnight, so you can shop till you drop.

The whole city is vibrating: music, drinks, food everywhere while shopping.

Well there are also some stores that didn't participate in VFNO, like Hermès. Hermès is well known for making its own rules, I guess that's why it is in great demand.

Besides Hermés nearly all luxury brands take part, like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tiffany, MCM and many more.

Above you can see what I wore that day/night

1. Emanuel Berg made to measure shirt

2. Bottega Veneta bracelet

3. Rolex Yachtmaster

4. brown Hermès belt

5. blue Sandro pants

6. Gucci desert boots

for the Ladies, Theresa was wearing:

1. Ash heels

2. Givenchy Nightingale bag

3. black Hermès belt

4. striped Zara shirt 

5. J brand jeans

This day I bought a new Hermès belt: malachite & navy blue.

The shop assistant told me that getting this color combination is pretty hard, so it was kind of surprise for me.

Never thought that I would get it at the first try.

After being successful at Hermès I went to Burberry and bought this great classy dress shoes and a bordeaux heart tie.

What did you did the last month?

Feel free to write me!

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

I spent some days in one of my favorite German cities: Hamburg.

The combination of modern and old architecture, the symbiosis of city and water, the possibilities of shopping, eating or just relaxing.

When I stay in Hamburg I'm always living at Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.

It's one of my favorite hotels I've ever been in.

If you are going to visit Hamburg than you should have tea time in the fireplace room.

My outfit above:

Burberry London trench coat

Emanuel Berg bespoken shirt

Orange Hermès belt

Ralph Lauren pants

orange Handstich loafers

Bottega Veneta bracelet

Rolex Yachtmaster

Hope you had some great days, too!

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

Dear Gentlemen,

in a few weeks there' ll be Paris Fashion Week again.

I'm planning my trip at the moment and found this Dries van Noten shirt in Düsseldorf!

It's my first Dries piece, but it won't be the last one.

Especially the fit and the quality of the materials used for van Notens collection is totally great.

Dries van Noten is the perfect label for those who want to be in style with a touch of classy simplicity.

I can't wait to wear it in Paris.

The pics can be seen soon on Instagram.
