Bond and Tom are back!

    One of the best bits of news I received this year was that Tom Ford would be back dressing Daniel Craig in the new 007 James Bond  film skyfall due to be realised in 2013 ( It says a lot for the news I have received this year!) Here are some early photos from shooting with Mr Craig looking razor sharp as ever!

Lanvin's formal treats

   I am loving Lanvin's formal accessories at the moment after seeing them in Selfridges and on Mr Porter. Below I have shown a pair of gold plated cuff links, a flower buttonhole pin, a tie clip and a tie pin. I have to say I am very tempted to bring Lanvin's elegance in to my formal world right now!


Captain America in Gucci leather!!

  I know the advertising campaign for Gucci's guilty fragrance has been out for a while but Chris Evan's appearance and styling in the ad caught my eye. In the edgy commercial directed by the brilliant Frank Miller, Evans is wearing an awesome Gucci biker jacket which is detailed by numerous zips! I am and have always been a massive fan of the biker jacket and have always loved seeing the elite designers take on and bring out their versions year after year and Gucci have always been particularly good with their leathers.

             I love Evan's hair in this ad, short and cropped with some stubble really does the trick!
                                                                                 
 In the world of men's fashion its a rarity that a good looking guy with an athletic physic fronts a campaign or runway for a major fashion brand, with the major exception of Dolce & Gabbana and their boys lead by David Gandy. For me Frida Gianinni and her people at Gucci must be applauded for getting Evans in to embody and be a part of their revolution of the new "Gucci man". Evan's has been on my radar before back in 2007 as he did seven or eight shots for American GQ dressed entirely in Tom Ford's debut menswear collection. Still got it Chris!
