London Fashion Week Men's Highlights: DAY 1
Saturday the 6th of January was the first official day of men's fashion celebration in London. The streets were full of bloggers and fashionistas, the shows were on fire and here are a few parting words on some of the first highlights.
JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
John Lawrence Sullivan’s founder and designer, Arashi Yanagawa, opened London Fashion Week Men’s with a notable Autumn Winter 2018 collection which we loved here at REY.
Leather, tailoring, purple and leopard print were some of the strongest elements in the show with the leather gloves to be the 'it' accessories.
Styled by Anna Pesonen, the collection featured a certain degree of darkness with unambiguous references to films such as Twin Peaks, American Psycho, Matrix and Taxi Driver.
Ben Sherman x House Of Holland
Presented in a gallery inside Somerset House along the Thames, the show was a combination of dance performance and catwalk for the Ben Sherman x House of Holland collection.
The show featured 29 looks including track pants, fishtail parkas and some very natty Mod suits. Holland’s favoured graphics and the velvet pieces by Sherman were some of our favourite elements of the show but the most notable was the fact the Ben Sherman has sensibly recentered on its UK DNA.
The show is the latest example of the new direction Ben Sherman had taken since its acquisition by American fashion investment vehicle Marquee.
Liam Hodges
We all know Liam Hodges as the one who usually break the rules and with his latest show, he did it again. Mix and Match outfits with intense colours, and strong references from punks to the 90s kids tv shows, were some of the elements of his AW18 collection.
Polka dots and cartoon graphics on knitwear came as another 'new trend' from the designer and they have been combined with Slim tracksuits, tartan trousers and denim pieces resulting the new wave mix and match aesthetic.
Qasimi
Qasimi AW18 collection is definetely one that we love here at REY as it's so close to our style and aesthetic. Inspired by socio-political issues, architecture as well as contemporary art; the new Qasimi collection consists of boxy coats, structured jackets, tartan patterns and wide long trousers.
The colour pallet of the collection comes in contrast with the bold shapes as we note a big range of earth colours and soft shades of burgundy.

Must Have Fragrance this winter: NOIR Anthracite
World-renowned designer Tom Ford has created a true luxury brand for the 21st Century.
He is also well known for turning out fragrances that are as sleek as his tailoring.
The house of Tom Ford has the ability to create very special, original scents that are depraved by the traditions of mainstream fragrances.
Tom ford introduces the new Noir fragrance, Noir Anthracite.
The latest icon of seduction, Tom Ford Noir Anthracite reflects the light in the dark.
It's deeply, softly dark, without so much of the apparently intentional style of many of the brand’s other releases.
The brand-new Tom Ford Anthracite has notes of ground citrus blended with a masculine oak moss base.
A mixture of bergamot sandalwood and ginger make for a statement scent. I believe it makes the perfect scent for fall.
