Alexander McQueen has come out with one of the most exclusive men's accessories he's ever produced, an exotic ostrich leather wallet with an embossed skull. Priced at about $500, the piece is finished in genuine brown ostrich skin with protective metal edging and a black leather interior. Inside are four credit card slots, a coin compartment and two banknote pockets. Ostrich leather is highly prized for its soft finish and recognizable pattern of quill sockets.

Despite their label's droll name, Cox and Silver are dead serious about tailoring. Their often-colorful collections are largely handmade and hand-finished, which helped the international duo (Cox, a Tommy Hilfiger alum, is British, while Silver, a former glove designer and daytime TV producer, hails from Canada) earn a CFDA nomination in 2006. In Fall 2009, the twosome launched a highly successful collaboration with the legendary footwear brand Florsheim.

The sneakers come in a low-top cut right below the ankle, and a super high-top that runs all the way to the middle of your shin. The sneakers come in the regular white and black leather colorway, but also in a very vibrant metallic gold patent leather colorway; that you won’t see from other designers. The other interesting thing on these sneakers is the mid-foot straps, and void in material on the super high-tops; not to mention a very stylish gum sole.

The new Pierre Hardy – Spring/Summer 2010 Footwear collection has just been released. Not straying to far from previous footwear collection, in terms of style, this new effort tries to recreate the ‘’simplicity” and edginess of last years very successful Nubuckorama jump offs. This time, however, there is greater selection of style including a white hi-top with blue and red leather piping. This same design also comes in all grey, black and navy suede. There is also a modified desert boot that comes in navy and grey with a tapered toe and a more fitting ankle.
