If you love investing in a new pair of footwear also, I urge you to check out their Zespa trainers which are both comfortable and stylish to slip onto your feet for the weekend and made in France from the finest premium luxury leather.

I do admire the spring sartorial styles this season too where even the most discerning best man can indulge and opt for a suit upgrade including a three piece for a Summer Wedding.

“A Modern take on a white classic double breasted suit ready for the poolside at Nikki Beach.”

This modern take on a classic suit seems so sleek with minimal structuring for comfort so style yours with a basic black tee for a relaxed resort look. I’m often quite spontaneous when it comes to vacation plans for a last minute getaway bearing in mind what travel essentials to pack. From previewing the new collection these are my current favourites so far such as a signature Ivory linnen blazer and the zespa trainers are on my IT list to covet this summer, not forgetting a good pair of shades to travel in style.

This season the Hardy Amies Menswear collection was adapted for versatile looks with a nod towards formal shirts being replaced with t-shirts worn under tailoring made it contemporary for the modern gentleman’s attire taking you from day into night. It seemed the heritage brand wanted to break away from tradition and target a younger discerning clientele to appeal to a new generation. If so, I definitely am all for it as I felt Amies SS 2017 collection pictured the ideal setting for a jolly jaunt on the French Riviera.

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 read2046 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.

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.
