The weather seems pleasant today and Iโve just arrived at the Mayfair Flagship store Private White V.C. for designer Nick Ashley and his teams preview for the new Spring Summer 2017 collection. Always a pleasure to be greeted with the warmest welcome from the team always there to ensure to give you a run through on the latest style Edit.
Organic pieces take centre stage to enhance fit and its silhouettes bringing them to life where the rich colour palettes influenced by nature and the five elements of the universe Ayurveda evoke water, air, fire and earth.
By the looks of it, observing the key collection pieces theyโre perfect for that weekend getaway. Models appear to have travel ticket itinerary boarding passes in their hands ready for their next holiday.
Spring Summer 2017 style inspiration from the Film โBrideshead Re-visited written by novelist Evelyn Waugh set in Britainโs Nineteen Twenties era.
The Colour palette used – blue celeste, rust colour, grey, white, sage green inspired from nature
Like the Movie the collection takes you back to the golden era before the Second World War to discover the decade of dapper style adapted for the modern dandy. So, just a bit of fashion history Iโm making reference to from the television series and film that redefined fashion for menswear to present day
It is a known fact that as automobiles became more affordable cars helped pioneer menโs fashion trends into a new era where casual leisure outfits were equally popular during the 1920โs popular culture.
Just being here up close with the collection I imagined myself getting dressed in 1920โs inspired menswear attire from sartorial tailoring, fine luxury shoes to hats and more styled with pants and suspenders. White introduces contemporary casual style staples adapted for leisure day wear separates โevoking a less formal and sportier dress sense for men was the height of style in the nineteen twenties when sportswear entered mainstream fashion.
Jetting somewhere nice this summer letโs hope so. I havenโt really given it some thought but Iโm thinking somewhere between a staycation vacation, or better yet Ibiza, Montenegro, Mykonos or The Hampton’s for the 4th July would be the ideal summer situation donโt you think.
