Dear gentlemen,

Here we are. You probably saw our Top 5 Womenswear S/S 13 last week and maybe thought that you'd be left on the side. You were wrong. We went through many collections and this seems to be the best of the best for the original man that you are. Let's do a quick survey: do you like something bold that doesn't feel like a costume? Do you like African prints? Do you like it when the outfit is ready? Do you like to be trendy and edgy? Do you like the idea of being part of the sapeurs? Do you like colors, bold statements, and emerging fashion? Do you like to have a masterpiece in your closet? Do you like individual signature in design and exclusive material? Do you like when it's perfectly fitted? Well, if you checked any of these, you're going to love these 5 collections.
