London Collections: Mens

As you may all well know, Women's fashion week has been and gone on this side of the pond. And although I am always excited to see the new season collections for womenswear. This year most of my interest was and still is in London Collections. The first of it's own, this June past men's fashion in London took centre stage. Traditionally the men's shows have always been confided to one day at the end of women's fashion week and lacked the praise / attention / appreciation that it deserves.

However this June all that changed, launched by Prince Charles himself and headed by Dylan Jones (GQ) London Collections: Mens was introduced. A three day event filled with SS13 presentations, catwalk shows and some of the most stylish men I have ever seen! It was so much of a pleasure to be involved though I didn't get to see any shows because of it,  I do however have access to style.com so here are my favourite highlights!

Great Gatsby

It was exactly a year ago when I posted about "The Season Of Gentry" on the 21st of this month and sure enough yesterday (The 22nd) the trailer for the movie "The Great Gatsby" was released.  I have already created a montage of my favourite looks which I have embedded above, can you feel the excitement?

I have watched it six times in counting and I am even more super anxious for Autumn / Winter '12 to arrive  now that it has got me out of my blogging hibernation! Now I know Summer only arrived today in the UK so before you start making blasphemous comments keep your cap on and hear me out! 

I'm not only excited about the release of the film, I am also excited because of the beautiful menswear pieces that will be re-discovered and appreciated once again. One brand in particular that I hope will make it's mark come A/W "12  is Marwood headed by the beautiful Becky French. Her tie's, bow- ties, scarves and pocket squares are beautifully crafted and all produced in England (which very rare nowadays), all round I think she is a genius there is no doubt about that. However I maybe biased, so I have included images of some of  her SS '12  and "Classic Lace"collection  below so you can decide for yourself. Also check out her blog it's definitely one of my favourites http://marwooduk.blogspot.co.uk/ - The Gatsby trailer is after the break.

Streetstyle - Pitti Uomo

The men's tradeshow Pitti Uomo is well underway over in Florence, Italy and some of the street - style shots being taken are to beautiful not to share! Here are my favourite picks from the last two days enjoy!!! (Images taken by Tommy Ton of style.com & streetfsn by Nam) 

Ben Sherman AW12

Beautifully designed menswear has become a new love of mine and Ben Sherman's offering for AW12 will not disappoint. Having been lucky enough to be invited to their catwalk experience, I can hand on heart say that this brand is definitely on it's way to being more relevant than ever before and for all the good reasons. I will be able to elaborate about my "experience" soon but for now if you would like to see backstage pictures and an interview about the collection with the incredible Creative Director (Mark Maidment) then headover to dazed - digital right now!

Ben Sherman - Englishman In New York

BS officially launched their A/W'11 campaign with Simon (how hot is the beard?) Kelly as the face of the Plectrum Collection "Englishman In New York" this week and I'm totally in awe of the updated, you could almost say re-invention of the brand. Still staying true to it's British roots but definitely becoming a lot more acquainted with it's cool consumer who knows exactly what they want from their clothes (its all in the detail~~~~~). I could  continue to tell you my opinion but it's better to see it and judge it for yourself head over to their new temporary brand site http://www.bensherman.co.uk/  and check  it out!

Shaun Samson A/W'11

Taken from Goldentheories.tumblr.com

Utter brilliance never seen this fusion of fabrics being done before anywhere else on the catwalk and I'm sure it will not be fading into the background anytime soon. Shaun Samson's inspiration is modern streetwear mixed with latino street culture, prison wear and American workwear what a melting pot huh? He's worked with Jeremy Scott and he is truly one up & coming designer to watch! Click more for more of the collection.

  “In this collection I developed a needle punch felting technique that fuses different fabrics together. Once I finalised the fabrics, it was then a matter of finding which ones felted best with others and what colours complemented each look.”
