A bit of history of Fashion 101 for you and facts: The Trend of Folding and tucking in a gorgeous piece of fabric the Pocket Square we know today! into one’s jacket took off in the 1920s and fell out of style in the 1960s.

FLORENCE & PRATO STYLE DIARY – WHAT I PACKED FOR A TWO DAY CITY BREAK with ART HOTEL MUSEO

WHAT I WORE: STREET STYLE FIRENZE 'PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO 97'

During the first day of our press trip my outfit for day one consisted being dressed in all monochrome which is usually my signature style day to day. In true Florentine style in homage to Pitti Uomo 97 I opted for a statement tailored winter coat made from the finest Italian fabric.

I felt I blended right in doing street style pictures to capture the moment being in Firenze. I needed to feel super comfy but still smart casual as most of the day was being spent on planes, buses, trains and taxis. But, just imagine lugging round a suitcase and my weekend bag between destinations.  Honestly Italy is so full of culture, history and the local people are so warm and welcoming here for which I am so grateful.

Outfit dilema’s – I realised when I got there for the first time in my life I had under packed even though it was a short trip. Who’d have thought my blogger peers who are reading this will laugh at this. I’m known for bringing ten times the amount I need. I didn’t have a proper outfits planned for my daytime wears so I put this together last minute. I wanted something smart casual and slightly formal for evening dinner with of course a hint of classic oxford button down shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren paired with a All Saint’s Crew Neck Sweater.

I hadn’t packed enough clothes, so off Jen and I go on a little fashionista shopping trip to Gigli Shopping Mall down the road from our Hotel in a 10 minute taxi journey. I wore my comfy shoes again because I knew we would be walking around a lot! I opted for a faux suede Derby, Gibson bucks shoe by H & M which is a classic favourite.

From Pisa to Prato – here I’m wearing brands from the high street to designer which I also paired some skinny jeans and shoes with the outfit too. The first two photos are taken in Firenze Florence.

Art Hotel Museo in Prato – Such a beautiful place and I can’t thank them enough for putting us up here a couple of nights for the first part of our trip to experience local food, culture, wine and cuisine in Tuscany was a very unforgettable stay we loved it here very much.

THOMAS PINK GOES BACK TO BUSINESS AT LCM WITH RISKY BUSINESS INSPIRED PRESENTATION

Thomas Pink Presentation Spring Summer 2017 inspired by Annie Leibovitz 1992 Vogue shoot

By Posted on 0 Comments Location: 1min read2044 views

Tonight the Thomas Pink Presentation at the ICA on Pall Mall just had to be one of my favourite highlights of the week. This season Pink’s LC:M presentation was inspired with a twist by the Annie Leibovitz 1992 Vogue shoot as male models sat on suspended chairs from the wall. Something different and remarkably unique which looked like great fun as the models seemed to be enjoying themselves and spectators alike were humored by the 80’s throwback to Risky Business movie staring Tom Cruise.

This was of course in reference to a combination of male models wearing boxers, shirts and tailoring to cleverly indicate it was SS 2017 with a bit of a tongue and cheek approach entertained all. The latest collection’s luxury apparel from tailoring, shirts, accessories including neck ties, pocket squares, cuff-links and men’s underwear took centre stage this season. Not forgetting the surprise VIP guest in attendance Model Toby Huntington-Whiteley.

Pieces on display evoked luxury and sophistication which the Pink is synonymous for creating immaculate shirting for the discerning man about town.

The iconic looks on showcase during the presentation for Spring Summer 2017 had formal and informal options to suit all occasions matched with boxer shorts to knee high socks were appropriate for the sweltering heat wave of a mid summers afternoon.

One of our favourite items has to be a luxury imperial classic 200s shirts, the double cuff Redmond stripe and made in England. Thomas Pink Shirts are made from renowned mills and exclusive fabrics where attention to detail is unrivaled. Traditional methods are used as well as time honored craftsmanship where the collars are hand turned.

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

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

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.

Velsvoir

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.
