Thank goodness being a designer doesn't stop me from purchasing clothes from other designers I admire.
While travelling in Paris and Berlin I have made one or two purchases from my favourite labels- I call it research!
These designers have a talent for unique cuts and treatments, quality fabrics and sustainable practices.
Damir Domar shirt, Trippen bag and urbandon jewellery.
Damir Domar- Parisian designer. Beautiful men's and women's designs. Mainly using organic cottons and linens. Slick, stylish and beautifully made.
Julius_7- For me, one of the two best menswear labels in the world (the other being Boris Bidjan Saberi-see next post)
Cutting edge deconstructed designs, layered and distressed, over-dyed/ cold dyed and extra-long, muted tones and narrow shapes. (all my favourite words!) Menswear only but they do use women in their runway shows.
G-Star- Dutch company that makes the best raw denim jeans on the planet. Amazing military-style cuts and durable fabrics. Big pockets, 3D cut jeans. Organic cotton range. Ethical and sustainable credibility. Designed to last and last.
Lost and Found- Italian androgynous clothing label designed by Ria Dunn. Beautifully made limited-run pieces. Plenty of raw edges and cold-dying.
ButterflySoulFire- Berlin-based cutting-edge fashion company making short-run and one-off pieces. My favourite German brand because of it's unique style and commitment to doing things their way.
Trippen- This Berlin-based company makes amazing men's and women's shoes and accessories. They are super comfortable and come in so many great designs. Very well made, unique designs with replacement soles available on request.
Ann Demeulemeester- Belgium-based designer and part of the Antwerp Six group who emerged in the 80's from the Antwerp Academy.
Slick and tailored clothes for when I want to dress up a little bit. I have had this jacket for several years now and love it to death. Bound seams, classic styling, beautiful linen and perfect cut make this a staple and inspirational piece.

Check you out! Fine looking flaneur fashionista. I love the beautiful scarf by butterflysoulfire, wow! Your choices are wonderful Don. Looking forward to next installment. Thanks for the peaks into your trip. :)
You are one cool dude Don!
I love the last outfit. You look so cool in that hat. I'm off to look at the Trippen shoes website ..
Cool looks:-) And I loved your pics from Berlin. Almost forgot that this is truly a fun place to be!
Louise- Ha! Thanks so much. That scarf is getting some serious wear here in chilly (summer?) Berlin.
Seth- So kind! Thanks.
Valerie- Thanks!That was my Paris dressed up look!
Steufel- Thank you..I do the same for Sydney. It's easy to forget how great your home town is.
Very classy Don! True style may be when one remain as cool while traveling as usual. My preference still goes to the urbandon shirt in the pack though.
Oh, can you tell us about the awesome boots you wore on the picture taken in front of "warhol's mao" (former post)? I always wonder where it was from.
Cheers!
Julien B.
you put on quite a fashion show, mister.. and what a show it is :) i love every single outfit you wore
Great clothes and so well modelled :) I particularly like the bias cut linen shirt.
Julien- Thanks so much. Those boots are 'Fly London' brand. Bought them on eBay...although I have seen them here in Berlin stores. Actually I get heaps of comments on them.
Mokosha- Thanks!
Dotty- Ha! Thank you very much.
You really look great in these clothes. My favorite - the bias-cut front linen shirt. So simple, but what a great fit and cut.

Can't argue with a stitch of it! Classic sexy edgy intelligent.
I would live in that linen shirt, long sleeve.
That Grrl knows how to pull great depth out of her model! (Third photo is like Bill M in Lost in Translation ... the emotion of it. )
Great post. And the last one too, I would have to go lay down after all that in one afternoon. The Mao photo is esp enviable.
constantly in awe of your clothing and styling abilities! so many great pieces, definately one of the best parts of travelling
