Fashion: The Man

I've become increasingly intrigued by super slick menswear and stylish gentleman ever since I first stumbled upon The Sartorialist (many moons ago now...), depicting beautiful men in beautiful clothes out on the street; since the inception of London Fashion Week's day dedicated to 'The Man' and the launch of Net-a-Porter's brother site Mr Porter. My penchant is for classic mens' tailoring made contemporary, so here I give you a smorgasbord of inspiring looks, impeccable style and the subtly eccentric.

Fashion: Lanvin vs Pitbull

So obsessed with Lanvin's Autumn/Winter 2011 campaign video. So awkward it's cool!

London Fashion Week: Burberry Prorsum & Giles

Burberry

I am a huge Burberry fan, and think the brand has done wonders for British fashion since Christopher Bailey took to the helm. The show yesterday by the Albert Memorial in Kensington, showed a very heavy 60s influences and we saw the Dalmatian spot creeping in again as seen at the Topshop Unique show - woof woof.

Jean Shrimpton was the main influence behind the collection of mainly phenomenal outwear (I NEED a plastic rain poncho, as seen in the finale complete with snow). I also loved the white coats with the black bow belt detailing, definitely on my wishlist for A/W 11.

Giles

Get your freak on, Giles Deacon...and he certainly did with this collection. Bondage leather, PVC...teamed with innocent bows in the hair on some models...sick, but absolutely fantantastic and extremely wearable. My favourite colour palette (black and white) was used so brilliantly and monochrome looks set to be another massive trend for A/W 11/12.

Tati Cotliar / Codie Young
