True, I don’t often get to go shopping in the physical world anymore, preferring to spend dat money online, but with things like the H&M Marni and Undercover Uniqlo collections, plus my int...
If you’ve ever clicked onto ASOS marketplace (ASOS’s answer to eBay with designers and individuals selling all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff) you’ll probably have stumbled acro...
WordPress is driving me crazy today, so few words- just pictures. As Raf Simons is announced creative director of Dior (will he be doing menswear as well?! How will the couture market respond? What...
Kris Van Assche doesn’t get enough props, in MENSWEAR’s view. His latest Eastpak collection, for AW 12, has just leaked online and it’s one of his best yet, streamlining down the ae...
Fashion’s eating itself. Everyone says it, everyone thinks it, everyone writes about it; cruise collections, new seasons showing on the catwalk while the clothes from a year previous are just g...
It’s a dilemma with online stores: how do you put the clothes together, get the message across for things that maybe don’t quite scream ‘wear me’ off the hanger? I’m a h...
When The Inoue Brothers first dropped into the perfectly-honed selection of labels at LN-CC I’ve gotta admit I wasn’t sure how I felt, or how their knitted, slightly random hues fitted in...
To say I’m a fan of Daniel Palillo is an understatement. Fellow Londonites (is that even grammatically correct?) might be aware of Daniel Palillo’s work through the sublime hel-looks.com,...
Patient readers, MENSWEAR launched several years ago (I actually forget the date) and despite taking some zzzz’s from the blog (and the fashion world) I’ve decided to come back to it, int...
Yes, they’re by Asos. No, they’re not on sale til next year… Logic dictates that the online powerhouse that started as humble ol’ As Seen On Screen should be turning into some...
You’re gonna have to excuse my gushing on this one. But it’s here… the collab of the year… the collab of the decade… the collab of the CENTURY (so far)! I can’t th...
A few months ago I was lucky enough to be the subject of a wardrobe feature on the amazing website StyleLikeU. It’s just gone live, with a heavy dose of cringe and a side order of pretentious, ...
The *amazing* Katie Eary’s Spring 11 collection VELVET MACHINE lookbook just in. Beautiful plaids. Amazing leathers. And some very wearable boxing shorts, hats and gloves. Bejazzled. This liter...
Just browsing and found this again. So cute. My heart fizzles. They’re doing a collaboration with Giles this season. PLZ say Pac-man socks.
Strange how fashion can transform a landscape. Only a year ago oki-ni began really pushing its unique combination of Vans/Nike/Adidas sneakers, technical backpacks and repurposed, loose designerwear ...
If, like me, you’ve been feeling a bit tired of the sea of cliched workwear (backpacks, anoraks and cagoules), all-black pre-christmas partywear (slouchy jumpers, tuxedos and carrot trousers) a...
Sometimes London fashion seems like an endless stream of names and courses, but don’t let the fact that Trine Lindegaarde is an alumnus of the prestigious Royal College of Art (contemporaries: ...
A still from Massey’s Spring 11 film, by Chris Brooks. Carolyn Massey has long been one of our favourite designers at MENSWEAR, but the love goes beyond a bit of hype every six months at Lon...
Topman have just launched a rather nice denim video. The territory of ‘fashion film’ can be a hard one to negotiate, but the cinematic feel and the styling here makes it all work. Note th...
Where do you go to buy an exact replica of the parka Hillary wore to ascend Everest, a rare piece of Raf Simons archive, leather goods from Japan or perhaps a paper doll book, the sole publication of...
Keep your eyes on these boys: we saw BRAILLE’s collection last season at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, and they already had beautiful fabrics, unusual shapes and a subtle take on tailoring (reminscen...
Camouflage baseball cap from the 99p store, Peckham PECKHAM’S 99p STORE is quite literally a cavern of under-the-radar style. Taken out of context the camouflage print on this hat becomes more ...
Mr. Hare is a big inspiration at the moment- not only are his shoes quite the most covetable thing on the planet, but his blog also cuts away at most of the flim-flam of blogging (overlong introducti...
I’m sure this has been all over the interweb recently, but those lovely folks at HERO zine sent me this shoot a while back and I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. This beautifully...
Beautiful. Beautiful. BEAUTIFUL! BLINGIN! As ever, Juun. J remains an unsung hero of men’s fashion. In another restrictive, conservative season, his evolving vision of menswear is genuinely mod...
The concept of must-haves is one that’s really yet to take off in men’s fashion. There’s no equivalent of the LV ‘spicy’ sandal (remember that?), Mulberry’s Bayswa...
I recently decided to do away with the pictures on this site- well, THEY’RE BACK. And onwards: RAF. His A/W 09 and SS 10 collections were poorly recieved by many of the journalists and stylists...
If the late 90’s was all about Mondeo Man, then maybe this decade will be all about Monocle Man. You might know him well. He shops at Borough Market and Columbia Road. He listens to Radio 4. He...
Do you remember what it was like shopping as a kid? Or more accurately, how it felt to be bought a new piece of clothing? Something you loved and wore to death? The earliest memory I have like this i...
I think everyone is in shock more than anything else. Of course, Lee Alexander McQueen passed away yesterday. There is an unbelievable article by that old hack, Toby Young in the Telegraph today. htt...
