• The Deluge

    Gallery Mr Essentialist has been swamped, quite literally. To wade through the water check-out rainproof items from Burberry, Hunter, Barbour and Archer Adams.

  • Ring of Fire

    Mr Essentialist explores four gentleman’s rings, (by Maison Martin Margiela, Foundwell, Autoctona and Dominic Jones) all while listening to Johnny Cash.

  • Objects I

    Mr Essentialist wants several things, many of them are aspirational pieces that will last a life-time. Indeed timeless purchases are justifiable because of their longevity and versatility. Staples of a gentleman’s wardrobe should include a great pair of broques – like these from Prada – and a classic ticker, namely by Rolex.

  • Nike ID

    Mr Essentialist is a fan of customization, especially when initials are involved. After recently discovering Nike ID, how can you not visit the gym in true (and unique) style?

  • The Talented Mr Essentialist

    The Talented Mr Ripley aptly conveys the ultra-exclusive lifestyle of the 1960s Park Avenue-set. Robinson Les Bains trunks, Illesteva shades, a cashmere Alfred Dunhill blazer, Paul Smith cufflinks and classic Superga shoes are all reminiscent of this golden era, affording the wearer a small taste of classic luxury.

  • The Leopard Hunt & Paul de Vos

    Mr Essentialist enjoys a good hunt, especially when an array of exotic finds are widely available. Leopard inspired treasures include Charlotte Olympia heels, a Roberto Cavalli ring and cat-eye shades from The Row.
