The store doesn't go "live" to the general public until Tuesday. I just took a stroll and the sneak peek is full of goodies

A tiny galaxy of stars covers this Paul Smith wonder

But what I love about Mr. Porter more than anything is all the editorial. It's overflowing with facts, tidbits and take away
Style guides including tips for a man's wardrobe and everyday dressing and timeless style icons like Marcello Mastroianni, Mick Jagger, Steve McQueen, Cristobal Balenciaga amongst others

Plus Esquire in its swinging 60's heyday like tips for being a Modern Man
There's even a whole style dictionary
(I didn't know this type of shoe is called a "Monk Strap")
And a pretty smart Q+A style advice from an assortment of fashionable fellas like Jefferson Hack, Pharrell, T Magazine Fashion Director, Bruce Pask, InStyle Editor, Ariel Foxman, etc.
With many more designers "coming soon" including Junya Watanabe, Band of Outsiders and Raf Simons, the future looks very bright indeed for Mr. Porter. I'm glad I could be here for the founding.
