Introduction So this season I’m all over Millinery; from the upward flat peak cap to the Pillbox Pirate hat that’s slowly making appearances on the heads of boundary pushes. I’m even dabbling in those big avant-garde things that provoke such reactions as, “Will the person in the second row please remove the duvet from their head immediately”, or “Is that…

Queen’s Country A few months ago I leaped blindly on to the back of a trend I thought was going to be a biggie come those tedious winter months, which are approaching at an awfully rapid rate. Basically it went down like a gigantic, inflated sack of ‘Ralph Lauren’. However, I’m going back there and hopefully you’ll have had enough…

Introduction – I Have A Problem Let me set the scene for you. It’s a Friday evening and I’m in Topman Oxford Street, gossiping with Terry the Topman stylist. As much as I’m trying to focus and enjoy some good banter, my gaze keeps wondering over to the pair of TOMS displayed a stones throw to my left. Now if…

When Art and Fashion Collide The boundaries between art and fashion can sometimes be a million miles apart, however in some cases, these very same boundaries can disappear entirely. Whilst the ‘Non-Fashpack’ are fumbling through immense bargain bins, overflowing with 100% polyester and stocking up on Asda (WalMart) ?2.99, stone wash denim bootlegs and marvelling over the practicality of an…

Sarah Burton’s First Menswear collection at McQueen It’s officially here and it’s scorching. That exciting time of the year when us Brits moan at the fatiguing humidity, revel in the mid-day heat only to complain of the skin destroying effects and wish for torrential rain, until to our dismay it finally arrives. Whilst most of us are worrying about what’s…

After trying to squeeze my pheasant tail-feather brooch into a packed out Central line tube, I arrived at Earls Court for the Graduate Fashion week Gala show and awards. Avoiding an embarrassing walk down the ‘Pink’ carpet we were bustled through into a Champagne reception. The bubbles were flowing and the Fash-Pack were in full swing. Members of the party…

Meggings Early last week I took a visit to the London College of Fashion and I have to admit, I felt incredibly inferior on arrival. After all, these young, avant-garde and incredibly tall creatures are the next generation of the fashion industry. If that’s not enough intimidation to cause your senses to collapse into a puddle of gibbering goo, there’s…

High-Top/Gladiator Footwear Hybrid I’m a sucker for a new pair of treads. Rarely a week will pass by when the temptation to buy yet another pair of shiny, Italian leather necessities doesn’t engross me uncontrollably to the point where my head no longer has control over my wallet. Due to this bitter sweet predicament, I have decided recently to put…

1940’s Rockabilly Early last year the two main street style trends I noticed were the messenger-boy cyclist look, and the 1940’s vintage silhouette. During the end of last year I noticed that the two styles were starting to combine creating this new era rockabilly which I’ve been seeing more and more of lately. The original rockabilly trend started back in…

Transparency I can remember reading my first fashion magazine many years ago. The one thing that still stands out in my mind is a picture of a man wearing a plastic, transparent trench. I know, I know… a half naked man wearing a see-through coat, it’s going to stand out in anyone’s mind. The spread was a piece on the…

Editor Note: Today is a two part report on what is going on within the world of men’s high fashion. Now I know these will definitely not appeal to everyone who comes here to read this site, but there are masses of males all across the world who wear avant garde and high fashion garments on a daily basis. If…

Bristol Fashion Week OK, so Bristol Fashion Week. Not exactly cutting edge, however there was free champagne. Joking aside fashion can be a scary and intimidating world, full of pursed lips and huge black sunglasses, so it was nice to see a family-orientated show, full of fun and bubbles (bloody champagne again). As Brad Palmer and I took our FROW…

I was delving through my wardrobe the other morning and was feeling, ‘let’s say’ less than inspired. Although men’s fashion for this season has been given the step up, it’s still difficult to buy high-end, less mainstream threads without spending an arm ‘n’ a leg. Because the majority of men do not want to let go of the standard jeans…

So, I’m going to do the debate thing again, only because I love a bit of controversy. This time the unsuspecting victim is the men’s playsuit. Now when I first saw the man playsuit I felt my top lip curl involuntarily. However after some careful deliberating and styling to see what could be done with this all-in-one, I’ve decided I…

Accessories are a fantastic way to liven up a plain (boring) outfit. With summer coming and hopefully a bit of heat (however doubtful that seems), the ability to layer and add things like scarves etc to perk up an outfit goes out the window. This is where the accessory comes in to play. I wear brooches a lot, mostly because…

Fashion week around the world is a place where fashionistas can spread their avant-garde, fashion wings. London Fashion Week AW10 was no exception. LFW saw men take on skirts, fur, even heels, in fact this year the male of the species was definitely not fading into the background. Imagine a beautiful, country manor house surrounded by peacocks; that would be…

Over the coming weeks you will find some of the team writing about key pieces and trends that…

This article is not going to be as happy and dry humoured as my previous ones. I just received a txt message saying I can’t believe what’s happened. “What are you talking about?” was my reply. Then the news feeds started to pour through the web… Alexander McQueen has been said to have committed suicide, (however it is yet to…

Once again fashion is causing a stir for people who have no intention in following it. As the man skirt gets more and more popular, and we’re not talking traditional native kilts here, it is certainly causing a controversial debate not only among fashionistas but Liberal human rights organisations. I am not yet sure if I am a fan of…

Right guys, there are so many D.I.Y fashion articles and blogs circulating the glossies and the web but most are aimed at the girls, with not much information for the boys. So I have decided it’s a good time to get one out there especially as most of us can’t afford to run out and buy a whole new wardrobe…
