Matthew Bell for Boys By Girls

This is one of my favorite menswear stories that I have worked on in awhile and I'm very happy to share it with you.  It's the Matthew Bell cover story from issue 5 of Boys by Girls magazine, shot by Editor in Chief Cecilie Harris and it features some really striking menswear from FW13.  Favorites include the blue look by Wooyoungmi, both the pinstripe top & matching trousers (want that so bad!) as well as the the gingham outfit from Christian Lacroix, the textured orange jacket by A.Sauvage, the pink floral jacket & matching trousers from Katie Eary paired with a Dalmatian print shirt by Joseph Turvey along with so many great pieces from James Long, Markus Lupfer and Xander Zhou.    If I had this wardrobe to chose from every day I'd be in some sort of heaven.

fashion east fw13

The Fashion East Installations have been one of the highlights of London Collections: Men for the past two season - young, innovative designers not afraid to go a little crazy and make some very fucking badass installations.

This is the second season the boys of Meadham Kirchhoff have gone into menswear, and once again it's just really cool. Last season saw the models sprawled onto mattresses in a messy bedroom like installation, while this season they were all posed dramatically with candles and piles and piles of trash bags. The embellishments on some of the cardigans and such were lovely and I personally was very much into the pearl & gold earrings. Sporty Nike socks under black leather sandals were fun too and made the dandy waistcoats and girly hair a little more down to earth.

Leopard print rhino mask? Check. Bucket over a models head? Check. Sportswear goodness? Double check.






Maarten van der Horst

Love the graphics, love the long haired rock boys, love the black and white wheatpaste style graffiti with pop culture references. I could see a lot of people wanting these jumpers.




Kit Neale

Blonde, Andy Warhol like boys in a flurry of prints, wearing fluffy cartoon slippers in a diner is right up Burger Kim's alley. I'll have that with Liver & Onions please.






Bobby Abley

Yesssssssssss. Spacesuits and teddy bears - nuff said.






Joseph Turvey

Dalmations are so hot right now. I love that he's keeping his illustrations as part of his designs. Time to buy a puppy.
