Where I find my inspiring,for me Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only,fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening around us.
What is 1 fashion item that's your must have/ or a must have for all men
A definite must have for me and one id recommend is a watch, this is the only piece of jewelry any man really needs, a timepiece, like shoes can say a lot about a man's personality and fashion sense.
