Having firmly established a global fashion empire in Ralph Lauren, the legendary American designer launched his high-end, luxury menswear line Purple Label in 1994.

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!)

There can be almost no argument about it; it’s the year of the beard this NBA season. With his incredible on-court exploits being the focal point of almost all basketball related banter right now, the coveted MVP award is all but guaranteed for James Harden.

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. From runway shows, to celebrity red carpets, the increasingly versatile white trainer continues to increase its profile in the fashion universe.

Following a hugely successful FW17 menswear campaign, Demna Gvasalia kickstarts Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 18 season with a limited capsule collection.

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.

The rise of Christopher Raeburn’s eponymous label within the industry has more than drawn the gaze of fashion’s leading critics, consumers and contemporaries. The British label has been widely heralded not only for the unmistakable quality of the products, but for the eco-friendly and sustainable manner in which they go about designing their collections.

Kanye West’s eponymously titled ‘YEEZY’ has generated a whirlwind of hype within the fashion community in the few years since its inception.

The YEEZY SEASON 3 launch has easily become one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the fashion calendar.

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.
