We're pretty confident in our shopping skills around the island of the Manhattan, but sometimes it takes a fresh eye to find new gems. Enter Victorinox Creative Director Pierre-Henri Mattout, who, despite having only lived in Manhattan for less than a year (he's a native Parisian), has carved out his own trail of downtown NY hot spots.

For Out.com's feature, Homo Plus, we tagged along with the tres sexy Mattout for a stroll through SoHo to glean his downtown picks. Among them? Everyone's favorite Swedish clothier, Acne, and vintage mecca What Comes Around Goes Around. Clearly, the man has taste. As if we'd ever doubt him.
