This is another one I get asked a lot – “why spend cash on (expensive) elevators when I can buy cheap lifts and stick them in my footwear?” In fact it’s what I myself thought for many years, until I actually discovered elevators that looked like proper shoes and boots, stuff I would ACTUALLY wear. Here is my story for my own transition from lifts to elevators, why I did what I did and how I came to do it. And then a few pointers, hints as to how to make the best of all worlds.
After a week filled with impeccable style, Paris Fashion Week has ended, with a number of designers having showed their Autumn/Winter 2017-2018 collections to the masses. GuidoMaggi ambassador, Kish Raveendran from Canada, who also attended London, Milan and Florence fashion weeks, was also present for the events, wearing a pair of GuidoMaggi loafers that spoke true to his own unique aesthetic. The shoes boasted shiny brown and double buckle for optimal sophistication.
The long-awaited Milan Fashion Week reached its end yesterday, along with the debut of a variety of men’s fashion trends for the Autumn-Winter 2017/2018 season.

Here is something I am asked all the time – “I really want to buy some elevators and add height but I am worried that my mates will easily be able to tell”. My answer is a definite and big – “NO, they will NOT be able to tell if you do it right and follow my rules”, but I think that the psychology behind it all needs explaining. And the rules.
The 91st edition of menswear fashion show Pitti Immagine Uomo kicked off on Tuesday. This year’s theme, #PittiDanceOff, explores the worlds of music and dance, and the way these two work in unison with fashion.
A number of new collections debuted at London Fashion Week, paving the way for fashionable months ahead. One notable newcomer included Tinie Tempah’s What We Wear, while Vivienne Westwood made the transition from Milan to London at last. Her long-awaited return was not the least bit disappointing to true connoisseurs of men’s fashion.

It’s a really important question to address, “how high can I go?’ – at work, with mates etc. Get it right and you will never ever have any problems with adding height. And it is all about lifestyle and different situations in your life, as well as your existing height. I have spent over 15 years wrestling with this and even now I learn new things about it.
So here’s an issue that we ALL face when adding height. How high can I go when taking into account my current ‘real’ height. Elsewhere on here I have addressed the style considerations of ‘how high can I go?’ and dispel the myths about whether you might be rumbled if you go back with a girl. Here I am going to talk about the practical considerations of how high you can go, specially in regard to your present height and detection issues.
