Mid July and there is, for the first time a
sense of seasonal change in evening air. Certain leaves are beginning to turn
fresh inspiration for fashion designers
But don’t think doom and gloom, conversely its
cause for celebration, when the autumn leaves start falling, new fashions will
be blooming.
Near on September fresh styles will be
hitting the decks of the high street stores and, the economy willing, shoppers
will be out in droves.
The really good news is for men, finally there
will be out of ordinary natural enough floral’s to choose from.
For the adventurous there are floral suits
and some dandy hats, it’s the 70’s all over, a very productive decade for many
of the arts, music, style innovation and architecture.
And to brighten up any grey autumn skies
there will be plenty of men’s jewellery to dress up your outfit.
The line up is impressive, new designers
eking out an existence along side the rich and famous, but regardless of your
position in the industry hierarchy, the essence is in the flower (the product)
When a fashion designer thinks I’ve made,
it will be the beginning of their decline. We’ve seen it happen to many, there
is no immunity once the creative drive is consumed by power and revenue the end
is nigh.
Ian Flaherty has been around a long time
always worth a mention because of his Swarovski crystal cube cufflink, which
has been mimicked by many other brands. But one has been able improve on the
original.
Vivienne Westwood needs no introduction but
her designs do, because they change with the season. The focus on improving the
status men’s jewellery is working well. In her mid 60’s is at the peak of
creativity.
A little taste: The Diamante Red Orb, for
the passionate, the “Yes No Maybe” for the undecided, the “Touch Wood” for the
superstitious and our favourite the multi coloured mini orb.
For the traditionalists there is the
classic “To Fast To Too Young To Die” in skull and cross bones and large Army
Tags.
She is not known greatly for gift wear, but
there is one to mention, The Swiss Army Knife, complete with skull and cross
bones fully authenticated with Vivienne Westwood’s signature on the back.
Now it’s time to paddle our on drum. As a
virtually unknown designer brand we’ve introduced a range of silk ties that
challenge conservatism, but also conform through using floral’s and more
traditional stripes and checks.
But coming in September the range increases
mainly in the direction of floral, why? because of compliance to consumer demand.
For us, being unknown is not a weakness,
it’s a challenge and an opportunity to work in coalition with brands such as Timothy
Everest, Ian Flaherty, Veritas, Vivienne Westwood Our role is increasing
awareness of their collections via the internet.
Like any industry, you can’t go it alone
and expect to succeed. As an independent retailer we acknowledge the importance
of interdependency.
We are influenced by other designers, but
also draw inspiration from the natural environment that surrounds us and
culminate with a little history.
One last thing; collar stiffeners, if
you’re frustrated with collars turning under at the end, or bulging in the
middle? Then a pair of London Badge and Button collar stiffeners will solve
both problems.
They will also perform the function of
holding your tie knot firmly in place all day. Because Lbb use resin you don’t
to worry about them coming out of the wash if you forget.
A practitioner of strategic planning in
business alignment: He is developing a new brand of fashion accessories for men
as a truly independent alternative: Concurrently purveying designer silk ties,
silver, crystal and enamel cufflinks, fine leather wallets, plus a collection
of jewellery by noted British designers, such as, Vivienne Westwood, Timothy Everest,
Ian Flaherty, Veritas, Lbb London, Simon Carter, Michelsons and Shane
McCoubrey. Perpetuating traditional English made clothing accessories is part
of our ethos.
