With the hype of LC:M unruffled on full charge and jetting over to continue as Men’s Fashion Week in Paris and Milan down the weekend we still have much more surprises from the high-frequency fashion designers to look forward to.
This January I had been blessed enough to have been invited to a few shows at London Whip-round : Mens by a friend I had met last year at LFW, where I had got badly bitten by the dernier cri bug, I definitely wasn’t going to turn this opportunity down.
Three B’s, Jet-black Brown and Blue
That morning I went to my wardrobe looking in despondency for what to wear! What with it being winter I automatically opted the dark colors, I went for the three B’s, black brown and dirty, with a simple plain white shirt from Attain distinctions and Spencer, great value for money and a great fit.
My trousers were only plain black skinny/fitted from Versace, the contrariwise pair of black trousers I own.
To complete the look I wore an Aston Martin counterpart breasted blazer made by Bespoke HQ, a high end high excellence designer in the heart of Clerkenwell, tailored individually for each guy. the Aston Martin range produced is of a limited quantity and some not one off pices wich makes the exclusivity even more tempting and exciting to wear.
My shoes are black patent and suede leather from Dolce & Gabbana diacritical marked by a pair of blood red socks from Ralph Lauren to flaunt a sense of humour.
I decided to wear my coat over the thrust aside from Reiss and brown leather gloves from Massimo Dutti and my en face was framed by a pair of extremely comfortable sunglasses by Scarlet & Soho.
So now I was close to for LC:M. I made my way to Bloomsbury Square to meet my friends I was attending some give aways with. When I arrived I was bombarded with camera lenses which was actually overwhelming but an extremely cool and surreal experience at the same ever. As I began to walk across the square, a very nice number approached me asking if she could take a few pictures, and of course, it was my gratification, I wasn’t definitely going to say no!!
She continued to direct me to do a couple of sundry pose/walks which i was obliged to do, and thought it was quite fun. After she was devoured taking photos, I was curious what she was going to do wit them, so i queried, and she casually replied “oh you’ll be in Vogue on Monday”
Vogue on Monday – Oh you’re be undergoing a laugh aren’t you?
Sort of stunned in the moment, I stopped myself in my ordinary Essex accent saying “oh your having a laugh aren’t you” I brainstorm either you have a great sense of humor or i’m actually current to be in Vogue on Monday. Monday came, and out of curiosity I had to look and low and notice there the bloody hell I was. Stunned Fascinated Shocked Overcame Chuffed to say the least. I actually made it in Vogue! Ok ok I know its not that big a buy, its not a feature or anything, but I just wasn’t expecting it! I was chuffed as the with few exceptions thing was and is completely new to me, and Vogue has been described as the bible of make, so I thought blimey I must be doing something right!! for in two shakes of a lambs tail b together.
My experience at LC:M got off to a flying start and continued to be photographed by GQ magazine and Getty images to tag a few, I was amazed.
The day progressed and I went to see the presentation by Ede & Ravenscroft which had a orthodox Edwardian feel to it! The building it was held in was a typical Edwardian genre, It made me feel like I had gone back in time and rightful boarded the Titanic. The clothes were amazing! the attention to exhaustively was perfect! this era has an air of class and sophistication about it.
The next represent on the list was YMC! and OMG it was brilliant. The whole set up the music the lights the atmosphere not to upon the clothes. I was sat directly opposite from Oliver Cheshire, and was venerating his beautiful suit from Hardy Amies rather the dresses going down the catwalk.

After the divulge had finished we made our way back to Bloomsbury Square. My friends had vanished from brill so I waited for them outside the LC:M building. A couple of minuets unfashionable looking at my phone, I lifted my head and saw a man and woman making a b-line bang on my way both a vision in fashion! impeccably dressed! Smiling and estimate hello the lady went on to ask what do you do and what are you doing here, foolishly pasted for words I replied “Oh I’m here with a few friends just have planned a laugh”, and that reply sparked a friendship with the proprietor of this magazine I am writing for today the wonderful Ms Gracie Opulanza.
Gracie be affected, I’m never In Vogue I’m Ahead of it.
