After years of devoting their fine craftsmanship to designing women's shoes, the local dynamic duo in bespoke shoemaking has made a new mark with the launch of their classic yet trendy first men's collection 'TRUE'. On this week's show Xavier and Alfred take us behind the conception of this collection, under their inaugural men's line XALF Homme. They also share interesting insights on the different challenges of crafting shoes for men, and how the general Malaysian man could be made more fashion-conscious about dressing for occasions. After that, Florence Song of Zalora brings us the latest on the Minnie-Mouse-inspired trend - polka dots.
