Belstaff Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection

The Belstaff Autumnl/Winter 2014 collection pays tribute to the British motorcycle riders of the 1965 International Six Day Trial race on the Isle of Mann. With these fearless racers in mind and Belstaff’s deep-rooted history in motorsport, this collection is based on protection, functionality and endurance

Drawing reference from the Belstaff archive and redefining pieces with a contemporary relevance to create this era’s Belstaff uniform.

Durable riding suits are paired with oversized motorcycle capes and foul weather parkas. Wool patterns are layered upon leathers and signature waxed cottons. The classic Belstaff 4-pocket jacket takes new form in the Sportmaster: designed with a modular dropout lining. A reinvention of an archival piece. A hand waxed shearling moto parka is paired with trial rider trousers featuring signature Belstaff pockets and off road shearling lined motorcycle boots.

Authentic accessories define performance and provide protection from the outdoor elements in the form of waxed cotton and shearling gauntlet gloves, knitted balaclavas and waxed cotton riders hats with protective face guards.

Braun's CoolTec Shaver putting shaving irritation on ice

Braun was an official partner with designer E. Tautz at the London Collections: Men for autumn/winter 2014.

The partnership saw branding throughout the backstage area with Braun's UK Creative Director Fabio Vivan using a selection of the brand's power shavers and facial hair styling tools including the Braun Cool Tec the world’s first dry shaver that puts shaving irritation on ice.

The secret is Braun’s pioneering Thermo-Electric-Cooling technology usually employed in the construction of spacecrafts and satellites. CoolTec’s integrated aluminium cooling bar transports heat away from the skin, so cools down the skin during the shave and actively minimizes shaving irritation.
The CoolTec shaver also has a three stage cutting system which automatically adapts to facial contours and shaves short and long hairs in every stroke.
