With six awesome collections under it's highly styled belt, Noose & Monkey returns with it's seventh collection for Spring summer 2017.

With a burst of colour, pattern and texture, I'm already thinking of spring weddings and summer rooftop parties sipping gin cocktails as the sun sets.

As we've come to expect from Noose & Monkey, pattern and colour is bold! if you're a guy who wants something different and who enjoys standing out from the crowd Noose & Monkey have got just what you need. Texture comes in the form of rich velvet's in deep pink, burgundy, ice blue & duck egg. There's also the crocodile and snake skin blazers if you're a fan of unusual patterns.

My London Fashion Week Mens: Day 3

Craig of That Dapper Chap takes us around the shows and presentation of his final day at this seasons London Fashion Week Men's

So day three dawned. You can find my breakdown of day one HERE and day two HERE.

With tube strikes imminent, lines closed and lines delayed it was a nightmare getting into central London today. I appreciate that these things happen, but did they not know that we had shows to get to!

As a result we unfortunately missed the Berthold show and it was then a toss up between getting to the Marharishi catwalk show and legging it to Kent & Curwen at the OXO Tower, potentially missing it, or just making our way leisurely to to the OXO Tower and stopping for a coffee and a pastry for breakfast in readiness for the show.

Coffee, an apricot pastry and Kent & Curwen won hands down, I wasn't going to miss it for the world!

My London Fashion Week Mens: Day 1

Craig of That Dapper Chap takes us around the shows and presentations on day one of this seasons London Fashion Week Men's

It doesn't seem six months ago since I attended the last London Fashion Week Men's (known previously at London Collections: Men) they say time flies when you're having fun right!

So, on a grey and traditionally wet British Friday we made our way to 180 The Strand, the hub for the event, and began a hectic round of shows and presentations. Once again there were some amazing designers to see, ranging from the well known and well established to new and up and coming designers for whom this was their first outing.
