A Brief Rundown of London Fashion Week Men’s Autumn / Winter ’19
London Fashion Week Men’s is over and done with for another season. I saw some really great shows, I saw some weird shit and I saw a hell of a lot of womenswear for a seasonal event called ‘London Fashion Week Men’s‘. But I’ll get into that pretty quickly, fear not. I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet because I’m sure you don’t want to listen to my ramblings. LFWM was a bit of a last minute one for me. I was just finishing up at my old job and because I was waiting to be paid, I only booked my accommodation and my travel a couple…

London Fashion Week Men’s Autumn / Winter ’19 – DAY 1 #OOTD
If there’s one thing I love, it’s sharing my content about 3 months later than it was created. I joke, of course, but I did realise that I never posted these images of my attire from London Fashion Week Men’s AW19. The images were all shot by the incredibly talented Kirstin Sinclair who has become a great friend over the many seasons of fashion week. On the first day of LFWM AW19, I decided to wear top to toe Vivienne Westwood. I adore this three-piece suit with the matching cape because I feel like an old headmaster. To go with that theme, I thought I’d pair my suit with my…

London Fashion Week Men’s Spring/Summer 19 – #OOTD: Day 1
I didn’t really post too much from London Fashion Week Men’s, no real reason, I just didn’t. 🤷🏻♂️ I did, however, shoot quite a few polaroids this time around for my #StreetStylePolaroids project I’m slowly building up. But alas, the season was a fun one – a really bloody hot one, but a fun one all the same. Anyway, when I’d checked the weather forecast before venturing down to the big smoke, it said that it wouldn’t be too hot particularly. Unfortunately for me, my packed suitcase of clothes didn’t quite match up to how hot it actually became when I got there. Needless to say, I styled it out and made…

#StreetStylePolaroids — London Fashion Week Men’s SS19
Another season is done! I swear each one seems to come around quicker and quicker. This time I was a bit more prepared. I was ready with camera in hand and I brought more packs of film with me for the adventure. I had my trust ‘Taz Cam‘ with me and a hell of a lot of film to accompany. All I needed now was to find some interesting looking people to photograph. The #StreetStylePolaroids are back! Thankfully, London Fashion Week Men’s has an abundance of quirky and colourful characters who are more than happy to stop for a photo (especially when they see that it’s in a Polaroid format). The…

London Fashion Week Men’s SS19 — Here We Go Again!
London Fashion Week Men’s has rolled around pretty quick! It only feels like last week when I was last here in January. This year I’m wanting to commit a bit more time to my blog (as you’ve probably all been noticing) so LFWM will be the perfect way to kick off the new “me”. #StreetStylePolaroids I had quite a lot of fun last season attending menswear with my trusty ‘Taz Cam‘ polaroid camera. So this season I’m doing it all again! The camera got a lot of attention last year which was great so this year I’ve bought even more film and I plan on (hopefully) shooting even more #StreetStylePolaroids…

LFWM AW18: Day 1
Another photo I recently stumbled across on the Colours Photo & Film blog. I must say, I was pretty happy with the attention from this cape, sure, it got mixed reviews online, but people at the menswear shows liked it and I enjoyed wearing it and that’s all that matters. I just need more excuses to wear it. Hopefully when the weather picks up (or we at least have a dry day with no rain or snow), I’ll be able to get some proper use out of it. Now all we need to do is push the fashion in Leeds a bit more. CAPE: VIVIENNE WESTWOOD BLAZER: VIVIENNE WESTWOOD PENIS…

#StreetStylePolaroids – LFWM AW18
I missed the simple joys of shooting with a Polaroid in life. My family never had a Polaroid camera so I never got the childhood thrill. I did however get myself a FujiFilm Instax camera a few years back and that was a treat. There’s something strangely calming about shooting with instant film. A few seasons ago, you may remember that I decided to shoot street style photography using only an Instax camera. I wanted to get a real rawness to the images and get photographs that were different to what all the other photographers were doing, a fresh perspective on the season. I shot a mixture of famous faces…

LFWM AW18 – Day 2 #OOTD
I’ve not been able to find many images from LFWM of my attire, next season I’ll make sure I take some myself so I can reference them better for the blog. Day 2 was unbelievably cold, my feet were frozen and I could barely type on my phone as my fingers were going numb. Despite that however, I think I managed to style it out with some ‘northern charm’ and act like all was good. My suitcase was filled to the brim (that bloody cape took up half the space) so I didn’t think to pack a coat (or even a jumper to wear under the suit). But hey, the…

Oiboy – The Shoplifter Style That’s Stealing The Spotlight
Now, here’s a brand you may not have heard of unless you live ‘daaayynn sarrrfff’. But fear not! I’m here to give you the rundown on a cool new emerging brand that’s not going to break the bank. We call it Oiboy. The brainchild of two founders, George Langham and Dylan Hartigan, the South London duo use their hometown heritage as their main inspirations for the brand. Walking down the streets, you’re hounded by the same few shops and businesses abusing your eyeballs. Betting shops, skin care brands, off licences and markets all trying to sell you cheap shit that you don’t want or need. As I say time and…

“Expelliarmus” London Fashion Week Men’s AW18 – #OOTD
This season was a strange one because it felt like I hadn’t stepped foot in London for years (despite heading to London fairly regularly). I don’t quite know what it was, it just felt… different. But alas, I was excited to be back and I was ready to see some shows. Day 1 of LFWM and, as always, it’s fun to make an entrance. And so that’s exactly what I did. With some vintage flares, gold penises on my jacket and a huge fucking cape, I was on my merry way. Now, I don’t know what particularly inspired me with the outfit, but I’ve been feeling a lot of love…
