MARGARET HOWELL MENS AW14

Menswear is something I get really excited about. I'm glad the time for London Collections: Men is here, Margaret Howell is one of my favourite brands so it was this show I was most looking forward to. I find her whole ethos one that I can really relate to, I share her passion for quality, skilled individuals, heritage and design. The aw14 collection is full of wool jumpers, heavy cotton shirts and trousers at the perfect length. Quality and design at it's best.

REVEALED: END OF YEAR SHOW

The other day I went along to the Leeds College of Art End of Year Show. There were so many interesting and exciting things to look at from all of the departments. Below are my favourite bits and pieces from fashion, graphic design and fine art:

[Tutto Bianco: I loved the white pallet, textures and especially the see through mac.]

[Hannah Wakeford: a really interesting use of shapes, fabrics and contrasting colours.]

[Flora & Fauna: this collection caught my eye for its fun, floral, pastel qualities. I loved the appliquéd flowers, they reminded me of vintage, flower adorned swimming caps.]

[Benjamin Goodyear: one of a handful of menswear collections on display, a very wearable, heritage, quality product with a sartorial vibe.]

[some of my favourite pieces from the graphic design exhibition.]
