VELSVOIR SS19

The inspiration for this season’s ‘Grandstand’ Collection explores the gentlemanly sporting pursuits of the 1900s and draws from the athletic tailoring of the time. The gentleman’s sports are a balance of fine tailoring with heritage and this legacy is where the collection derives its passions from. A careful consideration of practicality, performance and panache.  

This season sees a variety of summer fabric such as jersey, cotton, linen and wool in tones of navy, cream and white as well as bold stripes. The looks are complete with the sleek addition of Chimi Eyewear embodying the sartorially savvy gent.

TODAY'S SONG IS .....

This is me ... I've been used and abused and buried too soon ....... guess what I'm still here and I'm international so my home town of you want to do me like this it's ok ... many countries around the world know my strength and I've got to know my own strength ......

THE INSPIRATION - DOLCE&GABBANA SS 15 WOMENSWEAR SHOW #MUSTSEE

The Dolce&Gabbana Women Summer 2015 collection is inspired by the heritage of the Spanish culture on Sicily’s history.

The Sacred Heart is the main symbol of the collection and it is found embroidered or printed on most of the pieces.

The choice of the carnation was made not only because it is a flower that recalls the Spanish tradition, but also as an homage to Mr. Dolce’s mum, as it was her favorite flower.

MUST SEE - 'Writers and Painters' Burberry Prorsum SS 14 menswear show

Today Burberry made a welcome return home to London by presenting their SS 14 men's show entitled 'Writers and Painters' Collection.

“A celebration of artistic and intellectual spirit, with a nod and a wink to Alan Bennett and David Hockney. Easy, relaxed tailoring sits alongside lightweight pieces in linen and slouchy cashmere, while accessories add bright pops of colour among the painterly tones. Weatherproof cagoules and sou’westers take the whole collection outdoors and into the British summer.”

“London is our home town – it brims with creative energy and we are so proud to have shown our menswear collection here today. I wanted this collection to celebrate the uniquely spirited and charming British aesthetic.  

 Christopher Bailey Chief Creative Officer


As the show kicked off we could see that is was going to be a collection from Burberry we have not seen before ..... colour palettes were vast and consisted of blues, greys, camel, olive, teracotta, pinks, dusty yellow and green to name a few which for me was kind of a welcoming change and shaping the collection into the show of LCM.  Accessories included The Duffel Bag, The Duffel Pouch, The Wave Sunglasses and The Britain Bright Limited Edition Watch.  Fabrics included Cashmere, Silk, Linen and Cotton and style into Knitwear and shirts as outerwear, unstructed silk cabans, coats and jackets ....

Definitely my standout collection of the day and as mentioned before the LCM calendar! one thing that cannot be denied whether this is your style personal style or not Burberry tailoring and Christopher Bailey's thought process "ROCKS" ........  Burberry and their Brit cool makes a triumphant return ... welcome home!
