Contrary to the truly dismal sprinklings of “summer” that we usually have to put up with on these shores, this year’s season of sun was admittedly just that. A prolonged, uninterrupted period of picturesque summer. It was epic. So much so that we’re almost still feeling the effects this deep into the year! (No seriously, we’re still getting sunny spells in mid-November!)
The festive season is fast approaching, bringing with it an abundance of fancy functions for you to strut your stuff at, especially around the new year.

A shared appreciation for the subtle elegance that a well-kept pair of white sneakers can bring to your wardrobe is one that’s really manifested in more recent years. The notion that trainers are only really appropriate for lazy sunday outfit ensembles, suited more for a melancholy stroll to the corner shop than anything else, is a notion that forward-thinking fashion connoisseurs are beginning to abandon.

For his first standalone Menswear collection, Pierpaolo Piccioli has sought to manoeuvre the Valentino man away from the ever popular camou theme, still so integral to this house. It is an understandable and obvious move, yet it has been executed so cleverly.

Kanye West’s eponymously titled ‘YEEZY’ has generated a whirlwind of hype within the fashion community in the few years since its inception. Love him or hate him, it’s impossible to deny the obvious; YEEZY’s rapid evolution has given the music and fashion mogul a new industry to reign over.

In the contemporary fashion scene, no man’s wardrobe is truly complete without a few stylish swimwear ensembles. The summer is fast approaching, bringing with it the seasonal challenge of piecing together an outfit that says more with less. Layering becomes less of a focal point as the attention shifts to narrowing down that one defining power piece. More often than not, the gentleman’s swim shorts alone will actually be his entire outfit, meaning that the right choice is absolutely essential.
For the Spring/Summer 16 season, Italian fashion house Valentino takes us into the wild and wonderful world of the animal kingdom with their Fantastic Animals graphic print.
