Men’s Day. London Fashion Week.

Graphic designer and actor Christos, has a  hat that is from Lock St James of London, the coat is a 10 button 1940′s navy pea-coat (quite rare). The jeans are Levis 501 xx, teamed with a French Navy sweater and the shoes are Redwing.

Christos says “My absolute favourite trend is mid 20th century, – like the 40′s or 50′s. I take my inspiration from the film stars of the 1940′s and 50′s – they were great role models and I loved their masculinity. My least favourite trend is 80′s high street fashion and large people trying to squeezing into skinny jeans.”

Crisis management consultant Lawrence tells me that business is good. The Texan was looking cool under pressure, with his hand-made Dominican cigar, bespoke camel-hair coat and Fedora.

Ali was looking ready for business in his Kilgor suit shirt and tie, with Officine Creative shoes. Ali says his favourite fashion period is 80′s and 40′s, his least favourite is the 60′s

Topman stylist Brett is wearing a Polish quilted military jacket, Burlington socks, vintage shoes and Topman – limited trousers. What a great jacket! I love it, especially with the zip-up neck and oversized breast pocket. It looks so utilitarian and urban, – originally designed to carry an ordinance survey map. I’m also digging the way Brett is working the tans. – Great tones!

Kiko, is a DJ by night and by day he is the manages of the new Scottish mens wear store on Commercial street, called JS Dundee. Kiko’s outfit is made up from the latest collection of JS Dundee men’s wear.

“My favourite trend is tweed and tartan. I like the scottish gentleman look.
“My least favourite trend is the Camden Town Cyber-Punk look and tight fitting clothes.”

Lyndon is a ‘display creative’ for Topman, Oxford Circus. Lydon is wearing Topman all in one, Uniqlo long-johns , Dr marten boots, a vintage jacket and a YMC sweatshirt.

Lyndon says’ “Trends I Like…. so long as someone is enjoying themselves….”

“Trends I hate…. never hate… unless someone is too serious…. Then just let them pass you by…”

I haven’t seen heals like these on a man since the 1970′s. I love the pale blue of the turban against the trench.
