Sharp Dressed Man...

[softgrey]

For men only     




After designing hats and accessories for women for over twelve years, Brussels creative multi-talent Christophe Coppens felt that the time was right to concentrate on men for a change. The result is the 'Have a proud life' collection, consisting of ties, belts, hats, scarves, caps and 'manchetknopen'.
Coppens wants to distance himself from the 'two collections a year' fashion system for his men's lines, as he feels they shouldn't be trendy , but stylish. For the same reason, he'll always use four classic colours only: black, white, dark blue and brown. There will be a basic collection for winter and for summer and he will expand from there, meaning that your favorite pieces will still be there after the season is over- an idea that many men will embrace. Coppens describes his first men's collection as 'Erroll Flynn meets the bohemian lifestyle in the shop around the corner. Boring is sexy.' All done with a firm wink of the eye, of course.
