Mitchell is the founder and editor of Manuscript, one of the more innovative men’s fashion publications to hit the newsstands in the last few years. Mr. Smith was kind enough to invite me to his home in eastern suburbs of Sydney to document his impeccable style and talk about what keeps him suited up.

ANDREW CHEN IN MELBOURNE

Andrew Chen, co-founder of New York-based 3sixteen, a contemporary menswear label with a focus on raw denim, was in Melbourne last week to launch his concept store in collaboration with MINI Paceman. I had a chance to sit with him over a round of scotch (or a least he did and I attempted) to talk about his own personal style, what makes the perfect jean and how to avoid crotch blowouts. Enjoy!

JARED ACQUARO IN MELBOURNE

I came across Jared’s style blog A Poor Man’s Millions a few weeks ago, only days after his first post. While it seems like there’s a new menswear blog popping up every minute these days, there was something refreshing about his point of view and knowledge on the subject. After planning a trip to Melbourne to shoot my Around Town column, I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Acquaro at his workplace Beggar Man Thief and discuss how he went from wearing band t-shirts to dress shirts.
