Versace dress Real Madrid for the new season

Today Versace announced they have become the official designers for Real Madrid's uniform for the new season. Players, coach, management and technical staff will all be head-to-toe outfitted in Versace.
The players will be wearing a classic black and white look made contemporary by the details and fit – a wool suit with two-button jacket and interfacing on a black background and jet pocket. Stretch polin shirt with visible overstitching and a button-down collar with hidden buttons. Lace-up Derby shoes and belt in calf skin, and a silk tie featuring both the Real Madrid and the Versace logos. For the colder seasons, the brand has also designed a two-button overcoat to complement the suit.
The Italian house will also be outfitting Real Madrid Castilla – the reserve team – and the Real Madrid Basketball team.
I am looking forward to seeing the entire team wearing their perfectly cut tailored looks!

Fashion Week essential #3: the classic-with-an-edge shades

My second most important item in an outfit, after the shoes, are the sunglasses. The right shades can completely make a look, which is why I am a firm believer in having, at least, five or six different pairs in a variety of shapes, materials and colours. I am also a believer in investing on quality timeless pieces but with character. This season I am really into rectangular shapes. I love Oliver Peoples' model below (left), which reminded me of the Versace pair I bought about four years ago. Oliver Peoples' are my absolute go-to brand for both prescription (which you must consider investing on too if you have to wear them to watch the shows) and sunglasses because they have that classic-with-a-twist air. In any case, this coming LFW I will be sporting these ones below together with my collection of Ray-Bans, Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren and Armani.
