Men – why fashion shows are relevant to your life

Ask your average metropolitan, style conscious guy what he’s excited about seeing in this season’s London Collections: Men catwalk presentations, which kick off today, and even the most well-heeled gentleman will most likely shrug his shoulders. Even if you’re a chap who knows your Acne from your Ami or your Drakes from your Dries, the curious fantasia of fashion presentations can seem wildly disconnected to real lifestyle.As much as the fashion industry might try to shrug off accusations of insularity, closed-ranks cliquishness and occasional ridiculousness, there are times when even the staunchest defender can’t help but acknowledge the high camp Zoolander-ness of it all. Models’ faces obscured by a splintered mash of wooden planks, knitted crop tops with nipples coyly peeping out, and grown men in leather dresses and riding boots (all of which featured in last season’s LC:M shows): when what’s happening on the catwalk looks like dream sequence from 1920s Italian surrealist cinema spliced with a Berlin sex dungeon, you’d be forgiven for thinking it has very little to do with what you’ll be wearing down the Crown and Anchor.

The label’s tailoring, from handsome tuxedos and impeccable suiting to rakish peacock blue velvet smoking jackets, might seem like the stuff of sartorial dreams (or at least the kind of thing you’d reserve for your wedding suit), but as Basmajian points out, a good designer should be able to offer pieces that build on what you have. “Gieves & Hawkes is a brand that is always about style and quality.Party dress up games with Discount Unique round neck A-line Sleeveless Beaded evening/prom dresses, birthday parties and dressing up for the sweet. The collection is very wearable and most of the looks can walk off the runway and onto the street or office without seeming intimidating. However, I always want to show new cuts, textures, colours, fabrics and ways of breaking a Gentleman’s wardrobe down and putting it back together.”
