Hi Tops from Dior
I looked over the Dior Pre-Fall Collection. Kim Jones continues to lean to streetwear for inspiration. His commercial instincts are solid. Luxury labels must court new buyers to stay relevant. I am not sure where the line is drawn between courting and desperate attempt. The new Nike Air Jordan hi-top crosses the border. The…

London Looks
London Fashion Week Men A creative capital that is once again remaking itself in the Brexit Age is still a force in streetwear judging by the initial looks from Mensweek.

Black and Paper Pick
The reason I chose Lee Cooper Jeans is because of the Cooper Collection. Unlike other denim brands producing in Asia these looks are produced in East London by Blackhorse Lane Ateliers. During the Selvedge Fashion Tradeshow in Berlin I looked over a few pieces. The quality was impressive, making a pair a jean essential for…
