Seasoned from the success of her SS08 diffusion line at Topman, Carolyn Massey makes a return to Lens with a distinctive aesthetic that continues to venerate, but in a bolder fashion, the romanticism and gothic charm that filters through 18th and 19th century English fashion.

We promised you voluminous scarves, we promised you top-notch tailoring, and we promised you dainty knitwear and H&M aptly delivered. Several looks from the H&M Men’s Fall/Winter 2008 collection have become available and the ideas are refreshing. The lines are very clean, the colors muted and the jackets provide a more structured fit making the collection fit for the boardroom and beyond.

BePositve, the new shoe brand from renowned Italian footwear outfit, Slam Jam have released their autumn/winter 08 collection which is in stores now. The aesthetic is classic meets athletic (thus pleasing in more ways than one) as a leather Oxford lace-up is rounded off with a sporty white rubber sole.

Fashion connoisseur Tim Blanks summed up Prada’s a/w 2008 menswear show with: “male vulnerability wrapped up in a shirt.”
I’m not one to deny my adoration for Prada’s mind and designs because it was this collection, shown in mid-January, that foretold the hoards of androgyny spilling from the sartorial pores of Europe in June for the Spring 2009 menswear collections. That’s the power of a visionary. Much like Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga is in womenswear.
