Designing shoes for men is tough when you’re a girl.  Why I don’t design dangerously sharp studded leather ballet flats like the ones below, for example, is beyond me sometimes.

Designing for men does has its perks, however, like a constant stream of handsome boys coming up to Fin’s HQ to buy shoes and sometimes dinner.  On occasion, however, we need some outside inspiration to truly understand the sartorial needs and desires of a man’s shoe-drobe.  Enter Eric Musgrave, a fan of Fin’s since the beginning, and always on hand to offer sage words.  A fashion journalisn juggernaut, he has just published a fabulous new book, Sharp Suits, an near-fetishistic guide to the 3 and 1/2 metres of fabric that lovingly creates the most handsome-making item of clothing a boy can wear (apart from a pair of Fin’s, of course).

If you are looking for some bright ideas for your next trip to Savile Row, this is the bedtime reading for you.

Eric Musgrave’s Sharp Suits (Pavilion, £25) is available at Amazon
