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.

Xander Zhou for 1883 Magazine & Fucking Young!

Above is my final Fashion Editor's pick for the most recent issue of 1883 Magazine, featuring Zoe Saldana of Star Trek and Avatar fame on the cover.  My pick for this issue focused entirely on Xander Zhou's - one of my favorites by far from London: Men's Collection during the AW13 season.

Only one image was published in 1883 and we had so many amazing choices that I also submitted to Fucking Young!, which they recently featured online.  There were too many super shots not to see them all published somewhere.  Kudos to Elliott Morgan and the rest of the team for making it happen.

My second look from London Collections: Men AW12. Huge thanks to Chinese designer Xander Zhou for letting me wear his platform shoes (I NEED these - they make me so much more giant than I already am) and also to the team at Trace PR for letting me wear the QASIMI outfit.

ss13 menswear favorites

After the short but sweet three day menswear fashion week debut at London Collections: Men, the 1883 Magazine fashion team has rounded up their favorite catwalk looks for SS13. Here are mine:

(l) This sherbet yellow three piece suit  from Hackett London makes me wish I had a tea date with the Queen or knew how to bet on horses.

(r) Chinese designer Xander Zhou was my favorite collection from day one.  Not many guys can pull off lavender and prison stripes, but this look makes me want to try.  

(l) I love the pink knit t-shirt from the Baartmans and Siegel collection paired with the rose tinted sunglasses.  Plus the mesh slip-on plimsolls were totally my childhood summer shoe - I immediately ordered a similar pair online when I got home that night.  
(r) The American style football jerseys with matching shorts at Topman Design made me wish for a sportier disposition.  Alas...
