Angelo Galasso clothes are exclusive and luxurious. It’s safe to say that they are feted by many luminaries including Roger Moore, Flavio Briatore, Richard E Grant, Simon Le Bon, Mike Tindall, Frank Lampard, Puff Daddy, Michael Caine to name just a few.

The Interno8 speciality style is the high collared shirt which is a personal favourite of mine.

Something like the examples below are really as good as it gets in terms of sumptuously luxurious shirts.

I’m not particularly a dog lover myself but I can see how people get very attached to their muts. Although, I think having your pet dog stuffed is completely freaky!

Nonetheless, I saw this Garmin dog tracking system and thought - that would make a great gift for one of my doggy friends.

The supreme watchmaker Michel Parmigiani’s created a lasting classic when he developed the Parmigiani Type 370 Bugatti timepiece.

Intended to be sold only to buyers of the Bugatti Veyron supercar, the watch went on open sale due to unprecedented demand.

The prominent feature is the transverse movement which puts the dial on the side of the wrist rather than on top. This highly original design took three years to engineer and was inspired by the motoring watches of old which were worn on the side so they could be read while holding the steering wheel.

The mechanism requires winding every ten days and is accompanied by a pen shaped electric tool that has been designed specifically for the watch and can rewind it in five seconds flat.

Retailing for a staggering £139,000 ($280,000) it’s not going to be everybody’s cup of tea!!

The classic ‘keffiyah’ or ‘shemagh’ headdress scarf is traditionally worn by Arab men as protection against the desert elements.

They were picked up as handy apparel in the desert by British troops posted to the Middle East during World War II. Subsequently, they were made fashionable in the 1980’s amongst the uber cool fashionistas and now they’re making a resurgence in the noughties with various celebrities sporting them this summer.

Celebrity fans include: Jodie Kidd, Kirsten Dunst, David Beckham, Sienna Miller, Carl Barat and Janet Jackson.

I have to say they do look quite cool and would probably make a great gift. Urban Outfitters apparently sell them for $20 (£10).
