PINSTRIPES & PROHIBITION | DECADENCE FOR THE MODERN DAY DANDY AT VELSVOIR

CLASSIC MENSWEAR INSPIRED COLLECTION FROM THE GREAT GATSBY ERA FOR AUTUMN WINTER 2015

Velsvoir Introduces their new line, a bespoke tailoring service founded by the Dubai based Brothers. I always look forward to viewing the Velsvoir presentation during men’s fashion week to preview design duo Zak and Tahla Timol’s bespoke menswear label. The brand is getting some serious attention since its launch with press coverage in Esquire Magazine Middle East, GQ Dubai and Vogue online.

Velsvoir showcases bespoke menswear tailoring collection during London Collections Men with a presentation at Edition Hotels London.

The Brothers innovative take on menswear is unique with traditional sharp cuts and approach to ready wear tailoring with Savile Row techniques is understated, luxurious and contemporary. I love their modern edge concept of re-defining tailoring to satisfy even the utmost discerning clientele.

It’s all in the details this season where velvet arm garters worn with shawl waistcoats and neckties. I thought the drop collar shirts and skinny necktie added contemporary touches for a clean polished look or cutaway shirts with printed cravats.

A Prohibition look would not be complete without the signature trouser brace with printed box tie garnered my attention with significance of the Great Gatsby.

Classic outfit staples convey excess and decadence painting a picture of the roaring twenties. I really like the variety in the range of waistcoats, shirts and textures including accessories from silk, wool to fine cashmere.

With shirts in mind the classic round tab classic Gatsby Shirt with white club collar looked striking against the bold stripes shirt silhouettes.

Even the concealed braces were cleverly done with eccentric personality as lapel trouser braces.

For me there was a certain romanticism associated with the styling of the collection to look very dapper such as the peak lapel waistcoat, cutaway shirts worn with signature Print Velsvoir Cravats.

I did love visiting the EDITION Hotels in London today to preview the Velsvoir AW 2015 Collection in the basement. In fact it was the ideal place to set the scene well for a Prohibition Private Members club was very authentic to add a touch of glamour indicative of that 20’s era.
