For him: A select guide

By Laura Osborne

From tuxedos to crocodile boots, we highlight men’s fashion.

Hoax Couture’s clientele, which includes Dennis Rodman and Keanu Reeves, isn’t interested in looking just like everyone else. If you want to make a statement, try a Napoleonic jacket, a Chinese-embroidered silk tux or a custom-designed shirt with six different collars.

Vancouver is putting its best foot forward with shoe and accessory designer John Fleuvog. With shoes called the Bankers (think classic 1950s wing tip) and the Presley Boot (think butter-colored leather and crocodile accents), it’s easy to see why he’s causing such a stir.

Located in the fashionable Old Port district of Montreal, Boutique Reborn carries haute vintage and the latest in men’s fashion in a calming, minimalist environment. Favorite labels include Denis Gagnon, Duy, Since and unisex jewelry designers Rad Hourani and Harakiri.
