A MAN'S WORLD!

With the opening of BELINDA and TRIBUNE, (A Jean Brown offshoot), I am putting this out there in the hope that boutique owners etc hear the call.

As Brisbane's stylish women flock to these emporiums, (not to mention a healthy throng of southern women as well), I have to ask......Where are all the stylish men going?

Now I know HUGO BOSS has opened and the new DAVID JONES has an extensive range of clobber, not to mention FALLOW and BLONDE VENUS, but why do us blokes get overlooked when it comes to top quality stores?

For every Bettina Liano, Little Joe and Scanlan & Theodore, we have an Elio Moda and Herringbone. Which quite frankly, just does'nt cut it.

Where can we get good expensive shoes? It's nice to go to the coast as an excuse to visit Gucci and Prada, but why can't we have something half decent in the city to whet our fashionable appetite.

Maybe the Jean Brown chain will surprise us one day, and we all know that Belinda won't be doing anything soon after the closure of Belinda Menswear in Sydney, but please, someone, open something soon!! You only have to look at James Street to see sexism first hand....and don't even mention CEO!!!!

Stores like the OUTPOST and DIRTBOX stock great casual clothes that not too many other men own, but I think Brisbane men are ready for something even more exclusive.

Marni Menswear, Dior Homme, Lanvin and Dries Van Noten could seriously work here for the dude out to impress, and with an eye for detail. Not to forget how great it would be to buy shoes that actually took a bit of time and effort to produce!!! I just don't understand why so many stores from down south have'nt opened already. Calibre and Farage, although not everyone's taste, would make a killing, and honestly, sometimes it's nicer walking into an actual store rather the one of the Department size if you get my drift.

Anyway, just another personal opinion of mine. I have faith that this little wish will come true in the not too distant future, I 've got fingers and Adidas covered toes crossed!!!
