OFF-WHITE x LIL SILVA HOST SECRET DJ SET IN EAST LONDON

FASHION & MUSIC COME TOGETHER FOR ONE NIGHT WITH HEADLINE DJ SET BY VIRGIL ABLOH & FRIEND

OFF-WHITE

We saunted down to East London in Shoreditch for the OFF White x Lil Silva fashion label launch party as Designer Virgil Abloh showcased his musical talent as host DJ for the night. The venue discreetly hidden amidst the edge of a high rise tower block gave it that edge and street cred as press and fans of the label enjoyed a private DJ set by designer Virgil Abloh. The label collaborated with musician Lil Silva to celebrate the capsule collection of new t-shirt clothing. He’s also a great friend of Kanye West and was brought up in New York where his key influences came from street wear.

From an early age he began to discover and develop his own unique sense of style which later brought him to set up his own label and Abloh styles everything himself for his shows during fashion week. I can finally see where the fusion of music and fashion overlaps where its not just about fashion anymore it’s a lifestyle that comes with it to form a unique brand identity is relatable to popular culture.

I cant wait to find out more. It was my first encounter from the fashion label as a friend of mine from a Record Label introduced me to the concept which is great to step outside of mainstream fashion and look towards fresh ideas and creativity. The music that night was just as amazing as the clothes that came down the runways of Paris and New York. I even downloaded the catwalk soundtrack from one of the shows to my playlist.

If you’re a lover of slightly warmer weather which we’ve been getting lately in London then you’ll agree with me that Sunglasses are the perfect accompaniment to compliment your summer wear attire. It’s definitely one of those must have accessories which you can update infrequent or frequently should a new pair catch your eye. We all have our favourite pair we love the most but I do tend to occasionally like to switch up my style quite a bit when it comes to investing a classic pair of sunglasses. So why not start just here at – The Dunhill Summer Party!

It’s the Last stop of the evening of my men’s fashion week schedule and saving the best til last to celebrate the launch of their new eye wear collection. The brand hosted an elegant cocktail party! while meanwhile down the street in the Mayfair area another private party was going on at Burberry at the same time.

The Dunhill party tonight is amazing and even better when you bump into familiar faces makes it more fun to catch up with the movers and shakers of the fashionista crowd. Also, the hidden gem of the evening had to be the Dunhill Cinema hidden discreetly in the basement where you could chill out for a brief moment and enjoy a cocktail in peace if you wished. But, it seemed the party got into full swing and well under way with the arrival of Stars Joe Dempsey from Game of Thrones during the LCM presentation. Just some of the snaps from last nights summer party!

DKNY MEN SPRING SUMMER 2015 COLLECTION PREVIEW

DKNY MENSWEAR CELEBRATES LONDON COLLECTIONS MEN WITH ESQUIRE MAGAZINE FOR EXCLUSIVE LAUNCH PARTY!

Nick Grimshaw Radio 1 DJ took to the decks to provide the soundtrack floor fillers to get the party crowd started, where he was joined by Jude Law’s son Rafferty Law who opened the catwalk show.  Male model Tom Gaskin of D1 models also walked in the runway for DKNY this season.

The sponsors of the event were Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve for beverages and Mercedes Benz. It was a full house and the DKNY PR Girl Aliza Licht would be proud.

Jessie looked great in a DKNY statement piece pastel pink suit teamed with chunky white platforms and a low cut blouse which showed off her lace lingerie.  While the Saturday’s Mollie King was sporting a gold dress mini ensemble rubbing shoulders with celebrities including Lindsey Lohan, Chloe Green, Wretch 32, model Zara Martin and Mr Selfridge star Jeremy Piven was looking very dapper in a brown suit.

During the show we saw t-shirts/sportswear worn under well structured and fitted tailoring come down the runway, loose fitting oversized jackets teamed with white trousers, dark skinny jeans, and slouchy pants. Smart armband details gave the collection a little edge, while lux sportswear details were intertwined and combined with formal pieces to create contemporary ensembles.

 

Casual separate’s included jersey cotton sweaters, short sleeve printed shirts in sheer fabrics, loose fitting oversized-t-shirts tucked in at the waist. Some casual separates were cropped at mid arm length to create the illusion of layering and proportion. Collection colour schemes for spring summer evoked the true spirit of New York style inspired by dark navy, siren taxi yellow, pure white and contrast mono chrome tones.

I still remember the day I was treated to my first shopping trip in London in my early teens and it was at DKNY and will never forget it as everything fit me so well. The brand philosophy always meant my wardrobe was always a key statement in my everyday life to stay current, fresh and contemporary. It’s just perfect to take your ensemble from day into night.

The men’s fashion week will showcase the best of British menswear style SS15 which runs from June 15th to June 17th with a number of fashion industry events where the stars can show off their best fashion statements.
