Haven't given any stylish salutes for a while so as we've just had London Collections I thought it would appropriate to collate some of the particularly stylish from crowd.
Mr David Walker-Smith
I'm a big fan of David's style. On Day 1 he opted for a really cool silk embroided bomber with a functional Burberry parka. Also loved the beautiful oxblood Pradas. I wouldn't expect anything less from DWS. Ultitarian chic.
Mr Stephen Kelly
Presenter Stephen Kelly looked ever so dapper in his River Island DB suit.Yes I did say River Island. Nice work from them and from Stephen combining the deep tan Grenson boots. I have to say I'm favouring a good formal boot and cropped flannel right now. Also great work from Stevie in the MFM X River Island LCM video. Check it out.
Mr Phil Green
Phil always gets it spot on. Tailoring wise he's one of the most consistent around. Doesn't diviate from the plan and dresses clean-cut and sharp. After seeing Phil in his Archibald Optics specs from Day 1, I think he's convinced me to give the japanese made frames a go. Take a bow Mr Green.
Mr Oliver Cheshire
I loved Oli's look from Day 2. Would say outfit of all three days I loved it that much. Minimum effort with maximum effect. There was a fair amount of 'peacocking' and over doing it with the accessories doing the rounds over the three days. Mr Cheshire shows sometimes less is more! A real stylish look especially with the fedora.
Dumi Oburota
The Disturbing LDN mogul made a firm statement alongside his pal Tinie Tempah in his own right after being named into GQs list of best dressed for 2013. On Day 1 he had an applaudable, understated ensemble going on with a blue flannel whistle and Bengal stripe but that's not what the stylish salute is for. The salute is for his Rolex DD. Blinding choice of time piece with the croc brown strap and gold face going off against the blues. Mr Oburota I salute you.
Martell Campbell and Adam Titchener
Stylists and writers Martell and Adam used bold colour and dogtooth print brilliantly from Paul Smith mainline. Superb examples of nailing statement colour pieces.
Andrew Weitz
Now a LCM regularly, the most stylish agent in the business Andrew Weitz gets two salutes. One for the Dolce & Gabbana claret dinner jacket with velvet lapel which was worn at the Dolce & Gabbana event on Sunday night. The other was for a beautiful Gucci DB overcoat that he wore in the evening of Day 1 to the Gieves and Hawkes presentation. The coat hit the runway for Guccis AW13 collection in this light blue but Mr Weitz wore it in a more sultry midnight blue. Toned down colour but still made a statement. Andrew's the only guy in his industry that could give his clients business and fashion advice at the same time!
Mark Ronson and Jack Guinness
These two showcased statement outerwear styling with a nod to the traditional. Jack Guinness had his cloaked over his check suit and Mark Ronson went 'old school' with his full length Richard James DB overcoat. Beautiful colour and loved Ronsons 'fuller' trouser to add.
Paul McGregor
Had to get my boss in here. Now before you think I'm after extra brownie points hear me out. My Editor-in-chief of MFM killed it on the final day. Hardy Aimes herringbone tweed jacket, vintage Yves Saint Laurent knit tie, Norton & Sons made to measure shirt and finished off with a pair of hand made brogues. Well played gaffer, even Dynamo thought it was magic.. Sorry that was poor.
Gary Kemp
I've mentioned Mr Kemps style before. Perfect look for him paired with Oliver Spencer's unstructured tailoring. Also loved the cuff detailing from OS. One of the highlights for me was Kemp strutting down the runway for Spencer giving it some proper swagger. If you've got it flaunt it right?
David Gandy
A LCM stylish salute wouldn't be complete without a nod to 'the Gandy'. I liked the specs on Day 1 but felt his and Tinies scoop tee and tailoring combo felt a little odd seeing as most in attendance were layered and covered. Not their fault though that they get chaffeured from door to door. Anyway Gandy's throw back off white overcoat must be acknowledged. Very romantic with his reference to the yester-year in this made to measure Neil Fennell number.
