The Dapper Report

Dear Gentlemen,

today I got this pictures from a very good friend from London.

Just a few hours after I was leafing the UK Selfridges became

 a big dotted Louis Vuitton world.

This is a tribute to the japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who designed these shops.

Her dotted fantasy can be seen all over the world, in Paris, London, New York nearly everywhere.

Especially the wax figures in the shop windows are a little creepy,

 like this one at the Louis Vuitton in Old Bond Street.

What do you think about this concept ?

From my point of few these windows are kind of art and it shows that

 fashion is not outstanding, it can also be combined with art.

I really love the idea of a cooperation with an artist!

Just had to inform you about that!

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

Dear Gentlemen,

on these pictures above you can see Chinatown in London.

When you get in, you really feel like walking down a Chinese road.

You can see Peking ducks hanging in the windows, 

a lot of foreign store names and nearly everywhere are typical Chinese decorations,

 like colorful lanterns, typical Chinese red gates and dragon figures.

Everyone knows that this is just a marketing clue, to allure a lot of tourists.

But what everyone has to mention is that they really did a great job.

Especially most of the people walking down the streets are Asian people,

 so you don't feel like a tourist.

Besides in this part of London there are some very interesting bars.

Rumor has it there should be a bar, where you can meet a lot of celebrities,

but the difficulty is that this bar has no name and that it is very secret to protect the identity of the stars.

It should be in the first floor between two Chinese restaurants.

The last two pictures I took in February, so that you don't wonder 

why I'm wearing a winter down jacket in summer!

If you are interested in this outfit you can read more about it: http://fashionforgentlemen.blogspot.de/2012/06/westminster-winter-20112012.html

If you are interested in foreign cultures you should visit Chinatown,
it's really awesome!

Yours faithfully,
The Gentleman

Dear Gentlemen,

this is the little Lacoste store on Duke Street, but its decoration

 is better than the one from the big flagship store.

In front of the window are normally stairs but in this case there is a waterfall with a crocodile.

The idea is great and the best is that this store had a better sale than the flagship store.

A pair of lacoste leather boots just 50 pound.

Totally great!

You have tp go there the next time you are in London, it is easy to find!

Just 5 minutes away from Selfridges/ Oxford Street near Manchester Square.

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

Dear Gentlemen,

London is such a great city.

 Dear Gentleman,

now I'm back home and I had a really really great time in London.

I enjoyed the great weather.

The sun was always shining and I spend a lot of time at the St. James and Hyde Park.

In the afternoon I often went out for having a cocktail or shopping.

These are the pieces I bought this time in London:

1. A simple white Burberry Brit shirt with the iconic checked pattern collar and cuffs

2. A blue/white stripped t-shirt from River Island

3. A red chino shorts with dark blue seahorses from TOPMAN

All labels are typical British!

Which item is your favorite?

Tomorrow I'll post about some very interesting locations in London, so keep on reading!

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman
