SON OF A TAILOR HAVE GOT THE PERFECT CUSTOM FIT MADE TO MEASURE T-SHIRT’S

The Copenhagen Menswear Brand have designed an Algorithm for the ultimate premium bespoke t-shirt experience made to order

 

Did you know that Copenhagen based Menswear brand Son of Tailor have come up with creating the perfect algorithm for designing the ideal custom fit t-shirts for Men. And I was one of the lucky few selected to get my hands on one before they launched recently.

And Just Like that, the other day a T-shirt arrived for me in the mail which I wanted to express how excited I am to learn a bespoke t-shirt company the 1st of its kind named ‘Son of A Tailor’ was founded in the Denmark has launched into the UK market.

I’m ever so grateful the Brand kindly gifted me in the process. From day one it arrived its been a favourite staple in my closet and they even got the colour, size and fit correct according to my personal measurements all part of the great customer service you’d expect from a premium brand was impeccable. I just love the concept and rather impressed with my very own made to measure t-shirt.

I immediately grasped the idea of having bespoke shirts to fit perfectly with a custom made fit. So why not t-shirts which Menswear Brand Son of a Tailor introduces the concept to the mass market. If you want great value for money, precise cut, fit and high quality fabrics Son of A Tailor ensures longevity of a tailor made classic for the contemporary gentlemen’s closet.

Just to think I’ll never have to shop for a poorly made t-shirt again as its often a challenge to find one that fits me without a doubt. At least with Son of a Tailor they send you a tape measure to measure your exact measurements which you then send off to them to begin the process of making your very own custom made t-shirt.

And finally a ‘Styling Tip’ I often find all you need is a simple detail like a classic t-shirt to complete a smart casual look worn under a tailored jacket is understated and still elegant without being too formal. It looks great every time and make sure you add a Bespoke T-shirt to you’re closet as every man need’s to own one being a timeless classic staple you can wear over and over again.

BRITISH SUPERMODEL KATE MOSS DEBUT’S NEW CAPSULE COLLECTION FOR HIGH STREET RETAIL GIANT RESERVED CLOTHING

The Celebrity Fashion Collaboration everybody is talking about on the British High Street makes its 1st debut in London for its official store opening and launch this Fall

#ReservedForMe #ReservedForUs

Today I had a very early start as I made my way into central London to celebrate the new launch of Kate Moss’s exclusive clothing range in collaboration with High Street Polish Retailer Reserved. I have been looking forward to this all week which was very exciting to attend an event like this on a large scale when a new brand gets introduced to the UK High Street.

Also I do like discovering new brands too to include to my everyday style staples in my closet as we are now in September when the weather transitions into autumn and before long it gets colder again during Winter.

Reserved Clothing

The Brands clothing range lucky for me includes Menswear too, but the focus today was primarily around the Women’s range designed by Kate Moss for Reserved Clothing.

I do admire the brands aesthetic as it appeals to me being very minimal and contemporary with a premium feel to it. Observing the apparel pieces in terms of quality would be similar to the price range of Zara for Trend pieces.

“Meant to be worn Made to be liked”

There was a great atmosphere in store today surrounding all the buzz and publicity about the brand and promoting Kate Moss’ new line to the masses proved very popular amongst fashion fans and loyal followers of the Reserved Clothing label.

What do you think about it so far, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new range of ready to wear pieces for both Men & Women. In my opinion personal favourites will have to be tailored pieces such as the Blazers which is the most versatile staple you can wear with anything to dress up or create a smart casual outfit.

Reserved Clothing

Rocker Dandy inspired pieces include signature leather jackets for Menswear for a polished outfit.

For the launch today I decided to wear a monochrome look which is simple but yet still understated to make a style statement and still look polished was exactly the look I was going for to capture the moment.

The onsite photo booth was quite fun to snap photo’s for social media so you could create a giff video clip to add to your social media on instagram which is always good to promote the brand and show support for their outreach campaign.

I really enjoyed today and it was also nice to see familiar faces and fellow Bloggers to catch up and celebrate the launch together.It’s was such an honour to attend the event with a personal invite from the in-house PR in Warsaw to come along and celebrate this special occasion in the presence of Style Icon Kate Moss. The Press and Style Influencer’s were in full force to attend this soiree celebration for Supermodel Kate Moss with guest DJ’Set from Mollie King ‘The Saturdays’, Model and Presenter Laura Whitmore to warm up the crowd. We took to the Reserved Rooftop for sumptuous cocktails and canapés for some chill time to mingle with familiar faces and be in the presence of our favourite British Style Icon was a great event overall.

‘Buy Less Choose Well, Make it Last’ for a greener planet.

I did hear of London Blogger Jaimee London Boy from Boy Meets Fashion walking the runway at one show with Vivienne to support the cause. It’s really great to see more diversity in the shows not just models, but real people and characters too.

This season collection was allot different to her signature lines of 18th Century Rococo inspired lines as well as Anglomania to Red Label which love too for their quirky sense of style. Definitely have a browse at the Flagship store on Conduit Street to get a sense of the individual collections up close.

Westwood’s political message inspires to win the fight for the free world to save the earth

Day 4 of LFW Men’s it seems some designers went all out with bang to impress the international press and VIP’s as the show in usual fashion was delayed by 30 mins

I had an early start to the morning so the show certainly grasped my attention with a spectacular performance by Circus Artist intertwined with the catwalk show.

These symbols are aptly named Love, Free World & IOU, Greed Rot $ Propaganda, War and Giants like Shell and Monsanto who rape the Earth.

Models saunter down the runway with faces full of makeup which will express each of the 4 symbols inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s collection ‘We are MotherFucker’.

Clearly there was no fashion theme but a political message to win the fight for the free world to save the earth was evident

The inspiration behind the Topman Menswear collections aesthetics is ‘Modern Romantics’

For this seasons collection we headed over to Shoreditch at London’s Truman Brewry Building to preview Transition the exhibition presented by Topman Design which featured 5 collaborators, 5 films and an amazing preview presentation of Spring Summer 2018. These include works exhibited by model Nick Offord to Max Wallis amongst a few others to celebrate the 5 year anniversary at London Fashion Week Men’s.

The inspiration behind the Topman Menswear collections aesthetics is ‘Modern Romantics’ presented with a unique flair for fashion spirit and carefree attitude of the wearer.

Topman

When you think of who pioneered the New Romantics Movement you often think of Steve Strange, David Bowie, Duran Duran to Boy George during this era of popular culture that influenced music and iconic fashion trends.

Topman’s signature design concept is brought to life by referencing the past in order to influence the future was the theme for this seasons collection.

“@Topman #TopmanStyle

It was evident the 80’s was paving it’s way for a comeback as I observed the way Topman Design styled their collection.

I did like a majority of the retro inspired pieces including separates such as cropped jackets, lux sportswear, tailoring and loose fitting silhouettes on high waist trousers accented by white, grey, black to stripes and abstract print details to proportions in the garments.

Once again the spirit of travel is kept alive through tradition of adventure reflected in Belstaff’s signature DNA for classic iconic pieces inspired by the modern day explorers and adventurers.

Belstaff showcased the collections in the iconic London Venue of Somerset House, in the newly opened wing, the Lancaster Rooms, with press arriving via the British landmark of Waterloo Bridge.

“Built for life Est since 1924″

This season’s collection explores the epic journey of the rider’s adventures travelling through extreme conditions during their journey on the Paris to Dakar Rally.

The real sense of rawness in the feeling of the collection could be envisioned where romance of the North African landscapes intriguing colour hues of soft sun bleached pastels, to the vibrant shades of copper and burnt orange evoked the spirit of adventure.

It was about creating pieces this season that were versatile in aesthetics also light weight incorporating technical styles which are protective and wearable in all climates.

A rather distinct collection was well put together where patterns and prints contrast with retro inspired sportswear elevated the multi seasonal technical use of luxurious materials and bold prints served with functionality. As per seasonal signature items you can guarantee the outwear remains at the core of the collection each season experimenting with colour, leather, graphic and prints and more.

ASOS MENSWEAR SUMMER PARTY

It’s been quite a long afternoon of shows today but the best news is the Sun is still shinning as we leave the Ben Sherman show and decide to head over next to the ASOS Menswear Presentation at the AQUA London Rooftop. It’s got a really great terrace on the roof and it was just the perfect setting to view their latest Spring Summer 2018 collection.

ASOS is one of my first port of call for online shopping if I’m looking for a seasonable trend piece to mix and match with outfits and great for weekend basics too. At the Spring Summer 2018 preview I noticed that there were on trend retro pieces being re-worked from the 90’s .Who could forget those cross over bags or I believe the correct or old term was referred to as a ‘Bumbag’.  Accessories such as classic white sunglasses always remind me of summer or Nineteen 50’s Hollywood which I think I’ve got a pair quite similar are just perfect for sunny days at the pool.

Asos

I think these would go nicely with one of the racer checker printed bags as I’m keen to have a browse while I’m here. You know I just can’t help myself to window shop. Anyway, perhaps there is something I could get for my upcoming press trip to Portugal as most of the influencers I know will be going. But more on that later, so be sure to check for updates on the blog about my travels this summer it’s going to be supper fun.

That feeling of summer to me always evokes that spark of hedonism and adventure and these pieces from the ASOS Menswear line are ideal for headlining this summer’s music festivals in style or holidays you need on trend pieces of clothing to make things more fun don’t you think. From the looks of the colour palate the clothes really stood out for me as striking, youthful, fun and vibrant in neon shade’s which is very nineties right now.

I’m just hoping that someone has a ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air themed Party’ because I quite like the idea getting my hands on some new statement pieces before my holiday vacation commences.  All I need to do now is choose what I want for my forthcoming trip and just pack. I guess, I’ll see you guys by the pool!
