The country’s only multibrand shop specialising in handmade shoes from small manufacturers was founded in Stockholm by Patrik Löf and Daniel Tung in 2012 – and it has just opened a second store in the upscale Östermalm district.

“Our shoes are three, four times more expensive than most others but they will last for 25 years and are made by small, often family-owned factories in Europe,” says Löf.

Like the original, the new shop stocks a small-yet-thoughtful selection of brands, including Italy’s Enzo Bonafè, Portugal’s Carlos Santos and, as a new addition, the UK’s John Lobb.

Andrew Lim grew up in Singapore before moving to Perth to study fashion. After various retail stints he launched McKilroy in 2013. The inner-city menswear shop has attracted a dedicated following for its stellar selection of international brands, including Hender Scheme, Visvim and Officine Générale.

Why did you open McKilroy?
I thought the menswear market in Perth lacked depth and variety. I could only buy the brands I liked online or if I was travelling.

How do you decide on stock?
I look for high-quality brands with a story, though I had worn most of the brands I stock before I opened the shop.

Does the difference between seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres make things tricky?
Yes. Viewing autumn/winter collections is difficult as I am buying summer pieces for Australia, so I choose things that are lighter and versatile.

What’s the Perth market like? 
It is still a small city compared with those in the eastern states but, thanks to the web, the number of guys interested in fashion is growing.

Sportswear giants are pushing the sartorial envelope ever further. For the past few seasons Adidas and Kolor have dreamt up running gear with highlighter-bright accents; then last September Under Armour made its New York Fashion Week debut with a line by Tim Coppens.

Now Asics has joined the game with Jyuni White, a highly technical unisex capsule. It’s all white and all class: a hooded jacket is stitched from lightweight waterproof mesh, while a pair of shorts come in loopback French terry. Many consumers want to look head-turningly good while out for a jog; increasingly, they can.

A trio of self-confessed shirt nerds founded Schnayderman’s in Stockholm five years ago. “We aim to become the most progressive shirt brand around; we want to provide staples as well as contemporary styles,” says Joel Urwitz, one of the co-founders.
