London Fashion Week Mens Dunhill
Dunhill, the epitome of British menswear, continued the brand’s tradition of classic tailoring. Refinement is the word I would use to describe a collection that stayed within all the boundaries. New Creative Director Mark Weston has inherited a brand a strong identity but there was a need to make it more modern. He did not add any new twists but instead veered to the safe side. I cannot blame him. Luxury is about small details that people in the know would recognize.
Casualwear, jackets and other outerwear were on display, some with cashmere and luxury fabrics. The leather goods were traditionally masculine, and modern. There was a patterned bag that was less about being flashy but trying to have a bit of a contemporary edge.
It is going to be interesting to see where Dunhill goes in the future.
Nigel Cabourn anti-war protest look themed Army camouflage uniforms from the Vietnam War Era were his statement this Spring. The designer celebrated 50 years in the business with a collection inspired by photo famed journalist Sean Flynn. The pieces were about details, function, wearabilty, and utility with bursts of color for the ladies looks. Nigel focused on the military aesthetic this season with shorts, sheer, and blazers.
Made in England is a mantra for the brand ensuring quality materials including denim and herringbone cotton produced by Blackhorse Lane and Mckintosh Ateliers the pieces are meant to last.

London Fashion Week Men’s Black and Paper coverage of London Men’s Week.
The legendary city is celebrating its 5th Men’s week in 2017. The charm of British menswear is the level of risk designers take. Unlike rival fashion cities where classic themes are refreshed, London throws everything in the pot from shapes, colors, and textures for the fun of it with enthusiasm. The definition of fashion is “being different”, standing out from the crowd, a statement.
The Strand in the heart of the capital is the locale for the runway shows, presentations, and trade fare.
Stay tuned for more coverage.

London Fashion Week Men
London Fashion Week Men has kicked off to a start that can be described as “creative.” Of the all fashion centers, the British capital has always been a step in the direction of quirky. Designers are more inclined to step out of comfort zones. The availability of fresh creative talent in the city means there is a futile ground for something fresh or even strange in the design department.
Black and Paper Highlights:
Katie Eary’s “Night at the Playboy Mansion” Pajama Llooks are perfect for the man who wants a bit of Noel Coward sophistication.
Craig Green’s flowing colors and carpets seemed like uniforms from Star Trek.
Top Man’s collection is not handsome but fun.
Christopher Shannon’s collection of melded pieces is ready for the night at an urban club.
Casely Hayford are using on long geometric shapes
Matther Miller’s collection focused on black and more black for the intimidating man of town.
Oliver Spencer proves you can have understated wear that stands out in a crowd.

Oliver Spencer’s flair for mixing colors and patterns without going over the top was refreshing.
