Malan Breton AW18 menswear at London Fashion Week

Titled 'Omega', this last letter of the Greek alphabet signifies the end of a journey to one’s clarity and self.

The collection has a theatrical flair with inspiration drawn from Edwardian Tarot, the wizard Merlin,

 and  Chinese astrology

But it also shows a darker side with inspiration from the myth of the four horsemen of the apocalypse- . The four riders symbolizing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death.

 “This collection, has been a journey of self-realisation, a point of gaining ones hope back in humanity. Rebuilding one's shell, one’s armour, one’s heart. Love lost, valour, and watching gluttony, and greed change humanity for the worst....” – Malan Breton

Massimo Alba x Fenwick of Bond Street

Commemorating Fenwick's 125th Year on Bond Street, Massimo Alba have created two exclusive suits for Fenwick, plus hand-painted pocket squares and a range of knits/shirts.
 Each garment has a dark base colour and then has been hand painted unevenly with another dark colour creating a shimmering effect.

The jackets are unstructured, with an internal facing lining that is printed with the motif of small cars. Additionally, they are individually numbered and can be personalised by adding a name on the internal label, a nod to a classic feature in bespoke tailoring.

Double-breasted black-red mohair suit £1,055
 The trousers have a traditional outseam with beautiful Vichy detailing on the internal part of the belt, a hidden detail to be discovered and a signature for Massimo Alba.

 Additionally, Mr Massimo Alba himself hand painted a selection of exclusive handkerchiefs using an archive image of the Fenwick of Bond Street store.

Huntsman RTW SS16 Collection

Huntsman’s Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection reflects the timeless style, superior craftsmanship and clean-cut elegance of Huntsman’s bespoke clothing.

Tailoring mirrors the Huntsman’s bespoke house style, hand-cut and sewn entirely in England. Shirting comes care of Jermyn Street’s Emma Willis and accessories and neckties are sourced throughout England.
This collection is the first created by Creative Director and Co-Head Cutter, Campbell Carey, and is designed to offer Huntsman customers a wealth of versatile, quintessential British summer staples; carefully crafted investment pieces which will wear beautifully for years to come.

 Suits and separates are cut in herringbones and hopsacks that lend themselves to a soft, contemporary look. Suitings are lightweight wool, designed to both travel and breathe easily, whilst separates range from lightweight navy cashmere blazers, to soft cream and ecru blended sports coats.

 The colour palette is ecru and ivory sitting alongside classic navy, English cornflower blue and soft sky blue for a pop of colour.
 Shirting comes in either linen or sea island cottons, in luxurious 2 fold 100s in white, blues and gentle Bengal stripes in pastels, ideal for pairing with your summer suiting or sports coats.

 Tomoyasu Hotei

 Designed by Carey and made by esteemed shirt maker Emma Willis, in her award winning Gloucestershire workshop using traditional techniques, featuring hand trimmed and turned collars, cuffs and single-needle stitching. Finished with a split-yoke for comfort, easy-wearing button-cuffs and mother of pearl buttons.
Campbell worked with Emma Willis not only to produce the perfectly proportioned spread collar to sit beneath a tailored jacket, but has also created an entirely new shirt silhouette, exclusive to Huntsman.
 In two fits (slim and classic), every shirt features a gentle hourglass waist and clean sleeves that define the figure without being either too slim or too loose. The shirting mirror’s the perfect lines of Huntsman’s signature one-button suit coat and are designed to sit perfectly beneath their tailoring.

Sports coats are half-lined for comfort and finished with patch pockets for a relaxed aesthetic, whilst a generous selection of separate trousers in either summer-weight cotton or lightweight wool, offers the perfect pairing.

 Campbell has also introduced a range of sophisticated, perennial eveningwear looks, creating our iconic house-style dinner dress in ready-to-wear withthe  signature shawl-collar single- breasted dinner suit in black barathea,and midnight blue single-breasted dinner jacket.

With attention to detail, jackets have coloured and patterned linings for a flash of flamboyancy.

Sean combines the old traditional tailored look with a modern twist.

The non matching suit: Sean designed a suit with checked jacket but with plain trousers and waistcoat in chocolate brown.

Sean considered designing his own tattoo, but decided to use the print for his accessories instead.

So good they tied it twice!! Sean takes the bow tie to the next level with a double bow.
