You ever read The Unbearable Lightness of Being? Man I love that book. Milan Kundera has a way of grappling with male/female relationships unlike any living author. Wish I could ask for his sagely wisdom every now and then, but somehow I think I’d end up a lonely alcoholic typing away in some Parisian cellar, […]

Is it already time to start thinking about picking up some nice leather gloves for the looming cold nights ahead? If so, you may want to fly to Milan and pick up some of Trussardi 1911’s line of fine gloves, the perfect accessory to keep your hands warm while looking sharp.

But something about these BePostive shoes works for me; I think it’s the attention to detail. Started by Milan’s SlamJam — the shop and distributor to […]

In preparation for my evening arrival in Miami for the 2009 installment of Art Basel I prepared with all of the essentials including camera, pen, paper, computer, sunscreen and Advil. Basel is the tour de force of the Art world and I did not want to be trampled. The minute I stepped out of the […]

At this week’s annual EICMA show in Milano Moto Guzzi made the biggest splash unveiling its Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Racer. Usually the Italian motorcycle show is dominated by the 3 Kings — Ducati, Aprilia and MV Agusta, but this year the triumverate’s biggest release was Ducati’s technologically innovative but aesthetically questionable Multistrada 1200.
